سنگ‌ریزه‌ای در آسمان (نسخهٔ مجموعه آثار آیزاک آسیموف)

Decorative navy blue Hardcover with gold imprinted words. No Jacket Issued. The Isaac Asimov Collection Edition. Trade. 8vo- over 7 3/4 "- 9 3/4 " tall. *Pebble in the Sky* is Asimov's first full length novel. It begins with a retired tailor from the mid-20th Century, who is accidentally pitched forward into the future. By then, Earth has become radioactive and is a low-status part of a vast Galactic Empire. There is both a mystery and a power-struggle, and a lot of debate and human choices. The originality of the S.F. work is the choice of a very ordinary man as the story's protagonist, rather than the more typical space opera hero. A Satire On Our Own Racial Intolerances And Our Own Militarists. Isaac Asimov.
