«Lo mejor de la ciencia ficción del siglo XIX, tomo 1» is the science fiction anthology edited by Isaac Asimov (Martínez Roca, paperback).
Isaac Asimov brings together seven nineteenth-century stories that already explored scientific and fantastic ideas: Hoffmann's Sandman, Mary Shelley's dreamed immortality, Poe's descent into the Maelstrom, Hawthorne's Rappaccini's Daughter, and tales by Mitchell, Milne and Stockton about time, the sun and gravity.
It is the first volume of a two-volume anthology; the original English work was published in 1981 and this Spanish edition in 1983, with 311 pages.
Aimed at readers interested in the origins of science fiction and in classic nineteenth-century stories.

Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke. He wrote or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. Best known for his hard science fiction, Asimov also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as popular science and other non-fiction.
