Tom Huddleston Knihy

Někteří spisovatelé vytváří nové světy, jiní dají zrod celým vesmírům. V průběhu desítek let od svého vydání se Duna Franka Herberta stala pravděpodobně nejprodávanějším a zcela jistě nejznámějším vědeckofantastickým románem, jaký byl kdy napsán. Jak se tedy bývalý novinář námořnictva ze státu Washington dostal k napsání románu, který dobyl svět? A jak ho dokázal doslova napěchovat tolika vrstvami různých mýtů a myšlenek? Herbertovu bezmeznou představivost podněcovala závratná škála nejrůznějších myšlenek, od klasických dějin po nejmodernější vědu, od environmentalismu po zenovou filozofii, od arabských textů až po Shakespearovy tragédie. Kniha Světy Duny, která začíná u Arrakisu a pokračuje jednou planetou po druhé, nabízí hluboký vhled do Herbertova vesmíru, podrobně popisuje nejrůznější aspekty, které do svého epického díla zakomponoval, a v neposlední řadě slouží i jako obrazově pestrý průvodce touto nadčasovou sci-fi klasikou.
