Description: " 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.
