Description
Children of Dune, unfortunately, was harder to get through. There's too much metaphysics and badly explained prophesies, and it seems to basically devolve into the kind of fantasy that I don't much care for. Magic without clear rules. And so, on to ‘Chapter House Dune’ where the Bene Gesserit are the target of the Honored Matres. The Matres want to exterminate the Bene Gesserit, after assimilating their technology and superhuman skills. The Bene Gesserit are seeking to terraform their current home planet to accommodate the sandworms, whose native planet (and others) has been destroyed by the Matres. It becomes complex and complicated: breeding lines and possible saviours; enemies and secrets; the benefits of technology in plotting. Persecuted minorities, and the last member of the Bene Tleilaxu, each have important parts to play. The scope of Asimov's Foundation, the attention to detail and context of Tolkien's LotR, coupled with an unmatched visionary socio-ecological messianic narrative that is scarily relevant today. One of the most important features of the trilogy is the interrelationship between the people and the environment. Dune was not always a desert, and some would like to see the desertification reversed. Is it possible? And at what cost? Moving from ecology to people: lineage is critical. Paul Atreides and his descendants are key. Recomiendo el primer libro (Dune 9/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) a todo el que le guste la ciencia ficción, porque es un clásico y los clásicos... tarde o temprano se acaban leyendo, bien por una reedición que llama tu atención o por el estreno de su versión en el cine, etc... Pero eso sí, no esperéis una prosa exquisita, ni siquiera en ocasiones fluida.

In the week before their departure to Arrakis, when all the final scurrying about had reached a nearly unbearable frenzy, an old crone came to visit the mother of the boy, Paul.’ El segundo libro (El Mesías de Dune 7/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐) a pesar de ser solo 300 páginas se hace un poco "espeso". Pero aporta muchísimo a la trama en la parte final, y aparecen personajes nuevos muy interesantes. Published in 1965 by an automotive manuals publisher, after twenty (!) mainstream publishers rejected the story, Dune is the world's best-selling science fiction novel of all time. It's also considered one of the best books of all time, as well as a seminal work in the sci-fi genre. The book's massive success inspired Herbert to write a number of sequels, which brought the total number of novels in the series up to six when he died in 1986. This is – quite simply – the most magnificent Sci-Fi epic ever written . . . The scope of Asimov’s Foundation, the attention to detail and context of Tolkien’s LotR, coupled with an unmatched visionary socio-ecological messianic narrative that is scarily relevant today‘ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I loved the world and it was really intriguing! It was so fascinating to imagine life in this kind of world. Published by London, UK: Heinemann / Octopus, 1984, 1st MOVIE TIE-IN Edition, First Printing, London, England, 1984 Truth be told, I'd completely forgotten the plot of both Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, while the story of Dune stood clearer to me. After all, I'd read it twice, as well as watched both the David Lynch movie and the 2000 miniseries.

For me, I always found it kind of interesting that Frank's main point is lost if you just read the main book but it's probably a more "satisfying" read if you just stop after the first book. Basically, the Epilogue in DUNE MESSIAH and CHILDREN OF DUNE are part of the original Dune manuscript. If you read them after reading DUNE, you come away with a very different perspective on the behavior of Paul Atreides as well as his actions. DUNE (ست روايات)، تحليلًا لأنظمة الحكم، والثقافة، والقوة، والدين، والسُلطة، وسيطرة "الشركات الكبرى" وفنون التلاعب والإرادة الحرة. This had an awesome cast of characters and there weren't too many to remember who's who. But somehow even their deaths left me cold and didn't get me to feel. Somehow the writing style made it a bit hard to relate to them. The blend of science-aversion, exploitation of the naive by systematic manipulation of religion and witchcraft, and the harsh realities of life in a barren and mineral depleted desert is astounding. I love these books!' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐When I first read this sentence, over fifty years ago, I could not envisage that I would be drawn into a world which could hold my attention for so long. I’ve just reread the trilogy and it still holds much of its initial appeal. Herbert’s evocative, epic tales are set on the desert planet Arrakis, the focus for a complex political and military struggle with galaxy-wide repercussions. The pace of these three books is slower that the first trilogy, with the philosophy more central. While I did not enjoy this trilogy as much as the first, I am glad I read it. In preparation for Denis Villeneuve's up-coming movie, I decided to reread all three, since my wife had brought this omnibus edition into the marriage.
