«Memorias» is the autobiography of Isaac Asimov, published by Ediciones B in paperback (752 pages, in Spanish).
Written at the end of his life, these memoirs review in the first person Asimov's career: his childhood as a prodigy, his training as a chemist, his popularising work and his career in science fiction. The author evokes his relationship with other writers such as Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Silverberg and Frederik Pohl, and combines personal and professional anecdotes with his characteristic irony.
Third instalment of Isaac Asimov's autobiographical series, originally published in English in 1994; this Spanish edition appeared in 1998.
Intended for followers of Asimov and classic science fiction, and for those who want to get to know a great science populariser.
Isaac Asimov was an American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University. During his lifetime, Asimov was considered one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers, along with Robert A. 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. His work spans nine out of the ten categories of the Dewey decimal system.
