Juventude
Do mestre da ficção científica, Isaac Asimov, chega uma história curta, porém poderosa, que explora o abismo entre a inocência da infância e um dos momentos mais decisivos da história.
Para os jovens amigos Red e Slim, a manhã seguinte a um misterioso "estrondo de trovão" traz uma descoberta incrí duas pequenas e estranhas criaturas, diferentes de tudo que já viram. A solução é óbvia para são os animais perfeitos para apresentar ao circo que está chegando à cidade e, quem sabe, garantir um lugar na lona. O plano está traçado, e o segredo, guardado a sete chaves em uma gaiola no celeiro.
Enquanto isso, dentro de casa, uma conversa de importância monumental acontece. O pai de Slim, um Astrônomo, tenta convencer o cético pai de Red, um influente Industrialista, de que visitantes do espaço chegaram, trazendo consigo o potencial para reviver sua civilização estagnada. Eles debatem sobre o medo da mudança, o peso da tradição e o destino de seu mundo, sem imaginar que os seres cósmicos que tanto discutem estão sendo tratados como bichos de estimação a poucos metros dali.

About the author
Isaac Asimov
4,342 books27.9k followersWorks of prolific Russian-American writer Isaac Asimov include popular explanations of scientific principles,
The Foundation Trilogy
(1951-1953), and other volumes of fiction.
Isaac Asimov, a professor of biochemistry, wrote as a highly successful author, best known for his books.
Asimov, professor, generally considered of all time, edited more than five hundred books and ninety thousand letters and postcards. He published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey decimal classification but lacked only an entry in the category of philosophy (100).
People widely considered Asimov, a master of the genre alongside Robert Anson Heinlein and Arthur Charles Clarke as the "big three" during his lifetime. He later tied Galactic Empire and the Robot into the same universe as his most famous series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those that Heinlein pioneered and Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson previously produced. He penned "Nightfall," voted in 1964 as the best short story of all time; many persons still honor this title. He also produced well mysteries, fantasy, and a great quantity of nonfiction. Asimov used Paul French, the pen name, for the Lucky Starr, series of juvenile novels.
Most books of Asimov in a historical way go as far back to a time with possible question or concept at its simplest stage. He often provides and mentions well nationalities, birth, and death dates for persons and etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Guide to Science, the tripartite set Understanding Physics, and Chronology of Science and Discovery exemplify these books.
Asimov, a long-time member, reluctantly served as vice president of Mensa international and described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs." He took more pleasure as president of the humanist association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, an elementary school in Brooklyn in New York, and two different awards honor his name.
