Destination cerveau (Nightfall).
Paris: Presses de la Cité, 1988. Paperback. ISBN 2258023645. Fine condition with minor shelf wear and a spot of troublesome sticker phage.
French-language edition of Isaac Asimov’s celebrated science-fiction novel Nightfall, presented here under the title Destination cerveau. This volume is a translation of the expanded novel version of Nightfall (developed from Asimov’s classic 1941 short story), rather than the original short story alone.
The French title differs markedly from the English original, reflecting a common practice in mid- to late-twentieth-century French science-fiction publishing, where titles were often adapted for perceived market appeal rather than translated literally. As a result, Nightfall was retitled Destination cerveau (“Destination: Brain”), emphasizing the novel’s psychological and societal themes rather than its astronomical premise.
