Le 11 janvier 1923 la famille Asimov obtient le droit d’émigrer vers les Etats-Unis grace à un oncle d’Isaac installé à New York avant 1914.
Ainsi malgré une enfance miséreuse dans le Bronx, Isaac devient un vrai petit Américain et malgré des problèmes de discipline c’est un élève brillant. Finalement il rentre à l’Université en biologie dès ses 15 ans. C’est là qu’il y découvre une de ses passions : la chimie.
Parallèlement il continue à écrire de la S.F. et lorsque en avril 38 il finit sa première nouvelle intitulée Cosmic Corkscrew, il décide d’aller la porter directement au rédacteur en chef d’une des plus célèbres revue de S.F., Astounding ScienceFiction .
Ce dernier le reçoit amicalement mais refuse la nouvelle tout en l’engageant à travailler plus son écriture. Isaac est alors plus que motivé ! Puis il place enfin une première nouvelle après l’avoir retouchée de nombreuses fois. Ainsi pendant 2 ans, grâce à Astounding Isaac écrit ses premières nouvelles qui seront publiées dans la revue.
En mai 1941 il obtient une maîtrise à l’Université de Colombia. En 1946 il revient à N.Y. pour passer sa thèse qu’il finit par obtenir le 20 mai 1948.
Puis en 1949, a l’âge de 19 ans , il devient célèbre grâce au cycle Fondation et ce celui des Robots.
Cet homme est a la fois scientifique et romancier, il possède un doctorat de biochimie mais il est plus connue pour son œuvre littéraire ; cependant le nombre de ses publications scientifique est beaucoup plus importante que celle des ses romans (il a écrit de nombreux ouvrage de vulgarisation de biochimie, anthropologie, astronomie, et de mathématique ). Il publia en outre plusieurs ouvrages pour enfants sous le pseudonyme de Paul French. Il écrira aussi sur la Bible ou Shakespeare…Son œuvre est immense tout en restant facile d’accès grâce a une écriture clair et limpide. il enseigna aussi à l’université de Boston durant dix ans.
Entre les années 60 et 70 il publie peu ,enseignant a l’université de Boston. Il revient en force en 1972 avec les Dieux eux-mêmes pour lequel il obtiendra le prix Hugo. A partir de1980, il essaye d’unir toute sont œuvre en un seul univers. Isaac Asimov meurt le 6 avril1 1 992 à New York.  Isaac Asimov, of Russian origin was born in Petrovitchi (a small village to 100 km in the south of Smolensk), on January 2, 1920. On January 11, 1923 the Asimov family obtaind the right to emigrate to the United States thanks to an uncle of Isaac installed in New York before 1914. Ainsi in spite of a miséreuse childhood in the Bronx, Isaac became an American small truth and in spite of problems of discipline was a brilliant pupil. Finally he returned to the University in biology at 15 years of age. It is there that he discovered one of his passions: chemistry. In parallel he continued to write S.F and when in April 38 he finished his first news entitled Cosmic Corkscrew, he decides to carry it directly to the editor association of one of most famous the review of S.F., Astounding ScienceFiction. This last receives him in a friendly way but refuses the news all while committing it to work his writing more. Isaac more than is then justified! Then he places finally a first news after he has improved it many times. Thus during 2 years, thanks to Astounding Isaac writes its first news which will be published in the review. In May 1941 he obtains a control at Columbia University. In 1946, he returns to N.Y. to pass his thesis which he ends up obtaining on May 20, 1948. Then in 1949, at the 19 years age, he becomes famous thanks to the Foundation series and Robots. He is at the same time a scientist and a novelist, He has a doctorate of biochemistry, but he is more known for his literary work; however the number of his scientist publications is much more important than that of his novels (he wrote many popularizing works of biochemistry, anthropology, astronomy and mathematics). He published, moreover, several works for children under the pseudonym of Paul French. He also wrote on the Bible and Shakespeare. His work is immense while remaining easy to read thanks to writing clear and limpid. He also taught at the University of Boston for ten years. Between the Sixties and Seventies he published little, teaching at the University of Boston. He returned in force in 1972 with the "Gods Themselves" for which he obtained the Hugo Award. In 1980, he tries to link all his work in only one universe. Isaac Asimov died on April 6, 1992 in New York.
