Before the Golden Age: A Science Fiction Anthology of the 1930s by Isaac Asimov (Editor)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 1.2 Mb
Overview: Before the Golden Age" is an anthology of 26 science fiction stories published in pulp magazines before 1939 (the beginning of the Golden Age of SF), edited by science fiction luminary Isaac Asimov (1920-1992). It also includes "Big Game", a short story written by Asimov in 1941 and never sold. The anthology was first published in April 1974. Included in the anthology are stories written by such greats as Edmond Hamilton, Clifford D. Simak and Murray Leinster.
The stories were selected by Asimov, and the main selection criterion was the degree to which they influenced him when he was growing up in the 1930s. The prefatory material and individual introductions to the stories fill in the details about the early life of the child prodigy, which effectively makes the volume an autobiographical prequel to his earlier collection "The Early Asimov."
