About the author

... Show More
Franklin Patrick Herbert Jr. was an American science fiction author best known for the 1965 novel Dune and its five sequels. Though he became famous for his novels, he also wrote short stories and worked as a newspaper journalist, photographer, book reviewer, ecological consultant, and lecturer.
The Dune saga, set in the distant future, and taking place over millennia, explores complex themes, such as the long-term survival of the human species, human evolution, planetary science and ecology, and the intersection of religion, politics, economics and power in a future where humanity has long since developed interstellar travel and settled many thousands of worlds. Dune is the best-selling science fiction novel of all time, and the entire series is considered to be among the classics of the genre.

Ολοκληρώνοντας το 4ο βιβλίο της κλασικής σειράς του Dune δεν έχω παρά να δηλώσω εντυπωσιασμένος από τη βαθύτητα της σκέψης του Frank Herbert. Πρέπει να ήταν ένας πραγματικά ευφυής άνθρωπος. Ο Θεϊκός Αυτοκράτορας του Ντιουν δεν είναι για όλους τους αναγνώστες -κι αυτό κατά τη γνώμη μου κάνει το ανάγνωσμα μοναδικό στο είδος του.

Αν ψάχνετε δράση, σασπένς και περίτεχνη πλοκή θα απογοητευτείτε από τούτο το βιβλίο. Αν σας γοητεύει ο λεκτικός πλούτος και η εμβριθής σκέψη που είναι ικανή να διεγείρει τις νοητικές σας λειτουργίες θα το απολαύσετε στον μέγιστο βαθμό, όπως εγώ.

Κάποιες ιδέες (και κάποιοι διάλογοι) ίσως φαντάζουν παρωχημένοι στα μάτια του σύγχρονου αναγνώστη. Γνώμη μου; Αυτά είναι πταίσματα μπροστά στο μέγεθος του ασύλληπτου οράματος που έχει μοιραστεί μαζί μας ο συγγραφέας.

Όπως ανέφερα κατά τη διάρκεια της ανάγνωσης, ένας ''θρίαμβος της φαντασίας'' ΚΑΙ της φιλοσοφίας. Για μένα και τα 4 βιβλία ανήκουν ήδη στα αγαπημένα μου αναγνώσματα.

Υγ1: Όπως και στην αρχική τριλογία, οι στιγμές που ο Herbert περιγράφει την έρημο είναι απλά μαγευτικές.

This book has changed my life. It's after I read it that I decided to become an immortal giant worm, and to travel across the whole universe to have sex with the most beautiful creatures (of every of the 17 existing sexes). Oh, and I've killed one trillion people but I swear they were annoying. What a wonderful life!

Četvrti nastavak serijala Dine po mom je mišljenju izvrsna studija karaktera/likova, ponajviše Leta II Atreidesa, božanskog cara, polu-čovjeka i polu-crva koji je na sebe preuzeo sav teret koji nosi Zlatni put (the Golden path) koji čini se progoni lozu Atreidesa, počevši od njegova oca Paula Muad' Diba. Radnja se odvija nekih 3500 godina nakon Djece Dine, svi koje je Leto tada poznavao i s kojima je živio odavno su mrtvi, a on je izabrao vladati kao tiranin jer je jedino tako mogao spasiti čovječanstvo koje bi se samouništilo putem kojim je krenulo. Želio je uništiti kult štovanja i proročanstava, a to je mogao samo ako posije sjeme pobune protiv tiranije, odnosno sebe. Ujedno je izabrao je ono najteže jer je to značilo biti sam i usamljen tisućljećima. Sve je to utjecalo na njegovo podvojeno ponašanje, ono Leta i ono crva. Posjedovao je znanje o svemu i gotovo uvijek je bio upućen u sve što se oko njega događalo, koji su igrači bili u igri i što su namjeravali, sve je držao pod svojom kontrolom. Neke stvari je namjerno i dopuštao, kao što je dopustio i svoj kraj za koji je znao otpočetka da se mora dogoditi.
Interesantno mi je u biti bilo vidjeti kako neko tako dugovječan, praktički besmrtan, može izdržati neku svakodnevicu i još k tome kao vladar svemira. Ispadi bijesa, dosade, izbjegavanje povezivanja s nekim jer je prebolno gledati kako svi umiru, filozofiranja, razna poigravanja ljudima i makinacije, umor... Mislim da sam prvi put dobila kompletan uvid u nečiju (u ovom slučaju Herbertovu) viziju utjecaja dugovječnosti na psihu. I to je ono što me cijelo vrijeme držalo za roman.
Uz Leta u romanu se izmijenjivala cijela paleta zanimljivih likova, od mlade pobunjenice Sione Atreides, njenog oca i vjernog Letovog majordoma Monea, Duncana Idaha (ne znam više ni koje po redu njegove ghola verzije), uvijek prisutnih Bene Gesserit, Tleilaxua i Ixiona, Letove ženske vojske (fish speakers) sve do jedine nepoznanice u Letovoj računici - Hwi Noree koja u njemu izaziva dugo zatomljivan osjećaj ljubavi. Mogla bi o svemu pričati prilično dugo jer djelo je dušu dalo za dobru knjišku raspravu. I odlično je jer svatko može izvući neke svoje zaključke i interpretacije.

For any of the times that I may have complained about the characters or how I may not have loved them as much as the previous volumes, I have three or four OMG moments for everything else about this book.

The sheer scope of future history is one bit. But I'm all about the reveals about the Golden Path and what it meant for the social, political, scientific, even genderizing the future for humanity.

Or perhaps the fact that Leto II Atreides, the son of Paul, with his prolonged life, transforming into a sandworm, with the opening up of both the male and female genetic bloodline memories all the way back to us on Earth, or his ongoing future prescience, was the de facto SAVIOR of the human race.

... of course, he did it by SQUEEZING it, taking over the Bene Gesserit's breeding program, giving everyone a solid, stable life, SQUEEZING humanity until they just couldn't take it anymore.

Nobody hates peace and prosperity more than the people living in it.

This book is a wonderful testament to both imagination and INTELLIGENCE. Herbert never looked down on anyone and never spoon-fed a single idea.

The same can't be said for the side series.

Look to the best for the best, folks.

“And that’s when things got weird.”

Science Fiction is the weirdest of the genres. Dune is a weird entry in the sci-fi cannon. Emperor of Dune is the weirdest book in the series. I was here for every minute of it.

I loved it. It’s bizarre, crazy, hilarious, and definitely one of a kind. Stay and pontificate with a 10,000 pound worm god/man about socioeconomics, philosophy, and history.

Much as I loved this book, I can only recommend to hard core Dune fans. It’s just way too much otherwise.

My last question is....why Duncan Idaho?
