Beschreibung

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