’An impressive work of granular Dunesploitation.’
– Empire Magazine
Some writers build worlds. Others birth entire universes.
In the decades since its publication,
Frank Herbert’s 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 ?
Herbert’s 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
Shakespeare’s 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.
