veryone knows Frank Herbert's Dune. One of the most popular science fiction novels ever written, Dune has become a worldwide phenomenon, winning awards and selling millions of copies. Brian Herbert, Frank's eldest son, tells the provocative story of his father's extraordinary life in this honest and loving chronicle.

From his early years in Tacoma, Washington, and his education in the Navy and at the University of Washington, Seattle, through the difficult years of trying his hand as a TV cameraman, radio commentator, reporter, and editor of several West Coast newspapers, Frank Herbert worked long and hard before finding success. Brian Herbert writes about his father's life with a truthful intensity that brings every facet of the man's brilliant, and sometimes troubled, genius to full light. Insightful and provocative, containing family photos never published anywhere, this absorbing biography offers Brian Herbert's unique personal perspective on one of the most enigmatic and creative talents of our time. |

Excerpt: Dune is a science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert, published in 1965. It won the Hugo Award in 1966, and also the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel. Dune is frequently cited as the world's best-selling science fiction novel. Set in the far future amidst a sprawling feudal interstellar empire where planetary fiefdoms are controlled by noble houses that owe an allegiance to the Imperial House Corrino, Dune tells the story of young Paul Atreides (the heir apparent to Duke Leto Atreides and the scion of House Atreides) as he and his family accept control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the "spice" melange, the most important and valuable substance in the universe. The story explores the complex and multi-layered interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion, as the forces of the Empire confront each other for control of Arrakis and its "spice". Herbert wrote five sequels to the novel Dune: Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune. The first novel also inspired a 1984 film adaptation by David Lynch, a 2000 Sci Fi Channel miniseries and its 2003 sequel, computer games, a board game, a song, and a series of prequels, interquels, and sequels that were co-written by Kevin J. Anderson and the author's so... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=71416 |

Dans les éditions françaises, ce roman est quelquefois fragmenté en deux volumes ( et ) ou en trois parties contenant respectivement 22, 15 et 11 chapitres. L'histoire débute en l'an 10191 après la création de la Guilde spatiale. L'empereur Shaddam IV exerce son pouvoir féodal sur tout l'univers connu. L'humanité a conquis une grande étendue de l'univers, notamment grâce à une mystérieuse substance dénommée ou . L'Épice constitue un puissant stimulant cérébral et permet à certains humains de décupler leurs capacités psychiques. De plus, elle accroît considérablement la durée de vie et immunise le corps contre de nombreuses maladies. Son origine précise est un mystère et les quantités disponibles sont rarissimes ; elle est par ailleurs impossible à synthétiser. L'ensemble de ces paramètres lui confère une valeur monétaire particulièrement élevée. On ne trouve l'Épice que sur la planète Arrakis, la planète des sables que ses habitants, les Fremens, appellent . Cet endroit intéresse donc toutes les factions importantes de cet univers. Du fait de l'absence de précipitations, l'eau est rare et extrêmement précieuse sur Arrakis. Elle constitue une monnaie d'échange et de nombreux dispositifs permettent de l'économiser ou de la récupérer La ga...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr |

Le studio français Cryo Interactive a été le premier à développer une adaptation en jeu vidéo de l'univers de Dune de Frank Herbert. L'histoire du jeu se déroule sur la planète Arrakis. Elle est centrée sur un conflit qui s'engage entre deux Maisons autour de l'extraction de l'Épice, substance la plus précieuse de l'univers. Le scénario suit les aventures de Paul Atréides, qui mettra en œuvre toutes ses compétences pour défendre sa Maison. Fatigué des maigres résultats de la Maison Harkonnen, l'Empereur Shaddam IV Corrino décide d'envoyer la Maison Atréides sur Arrakis (planète connue sous le nom de Dune en raison du désert qui la recouvre) à la place des Harkonnens pour extraire l'Épice, une substance inestimable qui permet notamment le voyage intersidéral. La planète n'est pas aussi déserte qu'il y semble puisque des groupes de Fremen, peuple local très attaché aux traditions, l'occupent déjà . Paul Atréides, fils du duc Leto Atréides et de Dame Jessica, est le personnage contrôlé par le joueur. Il va devoir comprendre cette planète ainsi que son peuple pour que sa Maison satisfasse l'Empereur. Mais derrière la requête impériale se trame un complot. Ainsi, Paul Atréides devra finalement chasser militairement les Harkonnens de Dune tout en gérant l'extraction d'Épice et assurer l'avenir de la planète. Pour cela, il tisse des relations avec les tribus Fremen, oppressées par les ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr |
