The Worlds of Dune: The Places and Cultures that Inspired Frank Herbert
English
By (author): Tom Huddleston
'An impressive work of granular Dunesploitation.'
- Empire Magazine
Some writers build worlds. Others birth entire universes.
In the decades since its publication, Frank Herberts Dune has become arguably the best-selling and certainly the best-known science fiction novel ever written. So how did an ex-Navy newspaperman from Washington State come to write such a world-conquering novel? And how was he able to pack it with so many layers of myth and meaning?
Herberts boundless imagination was sparked by a dizzying array of ideas, from classical history to cutting-edge science, from environmentalism to Zen philosophy, and from Arabic texts to Shakespeares tragedies.
Beginning on Arrakis and going planet by planet, The Worlds of Dune offers a supremely deep dive into Herbert's universe detailing along the way the many diverse strands that he wove into his epic creation to offer a visually rich accompaniment to this sci-fi legend. See more
