A millennium into the future two advancements have altered the course of human history: the colonization of the galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain. Isaac Asimov’s Robot novels chronicle the unlikely partnership between a New York City detective and a humanoid robot who must learn to work together. Like most people left behind on an over-populated Earth, New York City police detective Elijah Baley had little love for either the arrogant Spacers or their robotic companions. But when a prominent Spacer is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Baley is ordered to the Outer Worlds to help track down the killer. The relationship between Lije and his Spacer superiors, who distrusted all Earthmen, was strained from the start. Then he learned that they had assigned him a partner: R. Daneel Olivaw. Worst of all was that the “R” stood for robot and his positronic partner was made in the image and likeness of the murder victim!<

A millennium into the future, two advancements have altered the course of human history: the colonization of the Galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain. On the beautiful Outer World planet of Solaria, a handful of human colonists lead a hermit-like existence, their every need attended to by their faithful robot servants. To this strange and provocative planet comes Detective Elijah Baley, sent from the streets of New York with his positronic partner, the robot R. Daneel Olivaw, to solve an incredible murder that has rocked Solaria to its foundations. The victim had been so reclusive that he appeared to his associates only through holographic projection. Yet someone had gotten close enough to bludgeon him to death while robots looked on. Now Baley and Olivaw are faced with two clear impossibilities: Either the Solarian was killed by one of his robots unthinkable under the laws of Robotics or he was killed by the woman who loved him so much that she never came into his presence!<

A puzzling case of roboticide sends New York Detective Elijah Baley on an intense search for a murderer. Armed with his own instincts, his quirky logic, and the immutable Three Laws of Robotics, Baley is determined to solve the case. But can anything prepare a simple Earthman for the psychological complexities of a world where a beautiful woman can easily have fallen in love with an all-too-human robot…?<

Long after his humiliating defeat at the hands of Earthman Elijah Baley, Kelden Amadiro embarked on a plan to destroy planet Earth. But even after his death, Baley’s vision continued to guide his robot partner, R. Daneel Olivaw, who had the wisdom of a great man behind him and an indestructable will to win…<

Radzieccy i amerykańscy uczeni głowią się nad wysłaniem człowieka na Księżyc, ale w kosmolocie fantazji możemy już dzisiaj podróżować na krańce Galaktyki, poznawać inne, dziwne cywilizacje.<

Romāns veltīts padomju zinātnes un technikas brīnuma — zem­ūdenes «Pionieris» — braucienam pāri diviem okeāniem. So zem­ūdeni padomju valdība sūta no Ļeņingradas uz Vladivostoku mūsu Tālo Austrumu robežu aizsardzības nostiprināšanai pret japaņu imperiālistiem — tolaik galveno agresivo spēku Klusajā okeānā.

Ilgi un neparasti rūpīgi rakstnieks strādāja pie sava jaunā sacerējuma. Sai laikā rakstnieka kabinetā sakrājās biezas burtnīcas ar tūkstošiem izrakstu par techniku, fiziku, ķīmiju un jūras bioloģiju, mapju kaudzes ar avīžu un žurnālu izgriezumiem par padomju un aizrobežu zinātnieku darbu un jaunākajiem atklājumiem, simtiem grāmatu — vesela bibliotēka, sākot ar bieziem zinātniskiem darbiem līdz «Zemūdens darbinieka sarkanflotieša rokas grāmatai» un «Ūdenslīdēju dienesta noteikumiem».

Rakstnieka apvāršņi paplašinājušies. Lasītāja acu priekšā vairs nav šaura pazemes eja, bet viss bezgalīgais Okeāns, nevis četri drosminieki, bet vesels padomju cilvēku kolektivs; pret viņiem saceļas ne vien aklie dabas spēki, bet ari niknais un viltīgais ienaidnieks.

Poète prosateur et avant-gardiste, Apollinaire a eu une influence essentielle sur la vie culturelle de l'époque. Evoquant des thèmes tels que l'amour, la mélancolie, le désir ou les paysages de l'Est… Ce recueil se divise en deux : une partie dépourvue de ponctuation et l'autre écrite durant son séjour en prison.<

«Si je vous tenais dans un lit, vingt fois de suite je vous prouverais ma passion. Que les onze mille vierges ou même les onze mille verges me châtient si je mens!» Tel est le serment que le prince Mony Vibescu, hospodar héréditaire de Roumanie, a fait à Culculine d'Ancône.De Paris à Port Arthur, en passant par Bucarest, en sleeping-car, sur les champs de bataille ou dans les bordels, à la poursuite de la belle Culculine, le fougueux prince Mony va tenter de tenir parole. Mais le chemin de la passion est pavé d'étonnantes perversités, et le prince, sans cesse détourné de son but par diverses tentations, devra subir le châtiment.Il fallait bien l'humour raffiné d'un Apollinaire pour raconter cette histoire démesurément obscène tout au long de laquelle se succèdent les scènes les plus énormes de pédérastie, de saphisme, de vampirisme ou de scatomanie… <
