| | Star Wars Origins - Frank Herbert's Dune |
| | Frank Herbert was uneasy because the point of his novel was to explore the dangers of mistaking a man for a god, and the film implied that Paul was a god. | | | Herbert understood that science fiction is less a genre than a modern vocabulary through which to express the oldest genre in the world, the Fantastic Tale (the oldest stories of every known culture are almost exclusively Fantastic Tales). | | | Herbert also flirted with the subtheme of incest: if love can only exist between equals, there aren't enough superhumans on Arrakis to go around, so Atreides siblings tend to fall in love: Leto II and Ghani follow the Path of Light, refusing to act on their almost romantic love for each other. |

| | Frank Herbert's seventh Dune novel |
| | Dune is Frank Herbert's bestselling SF novel, which was followed by another five books. | | | Almost everyone who has read all the books, will agree with me, that of all the books in the series, the sixth book gives the strongest suggestion that the story is not yet finished, because it ends with a real cliffhanger. | | | The Golden Path is one of the central themes of the fourth book of the series, but plays an important role in most of the books. |

| | Frank Herbert had one first-rate (despite its flaws) book in him, and this is the one! | | | Paul Atreides himself is a smart, likeable, charismatic character, and is basically an excellent example of a the somewhat cliched "boy comes of age and grows into a man" character. | | | His tragic Messiah, Paul Atreides, is an awe-inspiring character devoid of predictability, and many of his statements about the future of mankind leave us wondering, as his followers wonder, what it is he sees before them. |

| | For me, Dune is a standalone novel that needs no further explanation with other pieces of literature (save the fantastic glossary included, which clarifies everything you need to know). | | | One definitely thinks of T.E. Lawrence throughout the book with the galactic Emperor being the Ottoman Sultan, the spice melange being oil and the CHOAM corporation being OPEC etc. But after a while Paul& ascent to greatness is unique and distinctive and is genuinely inventive. | | | You can view sample pages from another edition of this book. |

| | Frank Herbert interview from 1969 MetaFilter |
| | My sense is that Herbert drew upon a grab bag of exsiting Islamic--that is to say, Arabic language--concepts to flesh out a ripping yarn about interstellar holy war. | | | Was he inspired by the story of Imam Shamyl to place the faux Greek House of Atreides on a desert planet reminiscent of barren Daghestan? | | | I read the House chronicles, and I own the the Butlerian Jihad trilogy but haven't read them yet. |

| | Penny Herbert Merritt, who spent most of her school-age years in Florence, says that her father, the famous science fiction writer Frank Herbert, invariably told the same story to people curious about the origins of his ideas. | | | "Dune," which weaves together religion and scientific themes, became one of the most popular and well regarded science fiction novels in history -- and launched the series of books that became Herbert's life work. | | | According to his daughter, Merritt, Herbert also saw the dunes from the air during his stay in Florence. |

| | Top-billed William Hurt is only in the first of the three 90-minute episodes, and while he gives a commanding performance, carrying the show falls to the less charismatic Alec Newman. | | | Frank Herbert's Dune is a three-part, four-and-a-half-hour television adaptation of the author's bestselling science fiction novel, telling a more complete version of the Dune saga than David Lynch's 1984 cinema film. | | | While television is good at setting a scene, it loses the novel's capacity to explain how the future works, and as with Lynch's film, Frank Herbert's Dune focuses on Paul Atreides, the young noble betrayed who becomes a rebel leader--an archetypal story reworked everywhere from Star Wars (1977) to Gladiator (2000). |
