Frank Herbert

Here is the novel that will be forever considered a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family--and would bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream. A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what it undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.

"Täydellinen manttelinperijä Dyynille. Kerrassaan kiehtova.” – Challenging DestinyMonumentaalisen Dyynin jatko-osa Dyynin messias on uhmakas ja tyylikäs scifitragedia.12 vuotta on kulunut Arrakis-aavikkoplaneetalla, ja Paul Atreides, fremenien messias, on päässyt ennennäkemättömään valta-asemaan. Siltikään hän ei pysty pysäyttämään nimissään taistelevia fanaatikkoja, ja pyhä sota on vaatinut jo lukemattomia ihmishenkiä. Samaan aikaan Paulia uhkaa hänen vastustajiensa salaliitto. Paulin on tehtävä mahdottomia valintoja, kun vaakalaudalla ovat hänen valta-asemansa, rakkaansa, kansansa ja koko ihmiskunnan kohtalo.Maailmankaikkeuden syvintä olemusta luotaava Dyynin messias pureutuu vastahakoisen messiaan heikkouksiin yllättävän inhimillisellä otteella. Alun perin vuonna 1969 julkaistu Dyyni-sarjan toinen osa on täynnä poliittista vehkeilyä ja vie Atreidesin suvun tarinan uudelle tasolle.Käännös on tarkistettu vuonna 2023.Frank Herbert (1920—1986) on tieteiskirjallisuuden suurimpia nimiä. Ennen kirjailijanuraansa hän työskenteli mm. toimittajana, simpukansukeltajana, radioäänenä ja luovan kirjoittamisen opettajana. Herbertin teemoihin lukeutuvat ympäristö, talous, politiikka ja valta. Hänen pääteoksenaan pidetään Dyyniä, joka on nähty valkokankaalla David Lynchin (1984) ja 2020-luvulla Denis Villeneuven versioina. Dyynin messias on suoraa jatkoa Dyyni-elokuvien tapahtumille.

”Modernin scifin monumentti.” Chicago TribuneHienovireinen science fiction -saaga, joka yhdistelee politiikkaa, filosofiaa, uskontoa ja ekologiaa kiehtovaan juoneen, saapuu elokuvateattereihin Denis Villeneuven filmatisointina vuonna 2021.Dyyni eli Arrakis on imperiumin planeetoista karuin. Kuitenkin siitä on taisteltu verisesti vuosisatojen ajan, sillä siellä kasvaa hiekkamatojen vartioima kallisarvoinen rohto. Dyynissä Arrakisin uusi valtias, Leto Atreides, saapuu perheineen aavikkoplaneetalle. Heitä vastassa ovat suvun vanhan vihollisen, tyranni Harkonnenin julmat juonet. Nuori Paul Atreides saa yllättävän liittolaisen fremen-aavikkokansasta ja kasvaa hiljalleen rooliin, josta vuosituhansia vanhat ennustukset kertovat.Edelleen relevantti tieteisjättiläinen 60-luvulta tutkiskelee aikansa ilmiöitä: ympäristötuhoa, ihmisen potentiaalia, tietoisuuden laajentamista ja kolonialismin murtumista. Dyynin suomennoson julkaistu aiemmin kolmena niteenä: Dyyni, Muad'Dib ja Profeetta, ja on nyt saatavilla ensi kertaa kokonaisuutena.Frank Herbert (1920-1986) oli tieteiskirjallisuuden suurimpia nimiä.

The bestselling science fiction novel of all time, with nearly ten million copies in print. Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender's Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune: winner of the prestigious Hugo and Nebula awards, and widely considered one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written. Melange, or 'spice', is the most valuable - and rarest - element in the universe; a drug that does everything from increasing a person's life-span to making intersteller travel possible. And it can only be found on a single planet: the inhospitable desert world Arrakis. Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe. When the Emperor transfers stewardship of Arrakis from the noble House Harkonnen to House Atreides, the Harkonnens fight back, murdering Duke Leto Atreides. Paul, his son, and Lady Jessica, his concubine, flee into the desert. On the point of death, they are rescued by a band for Fremen, the native people of Arrakis, who control Arrakis' second great resource: the giant worms that burrow beneath the burning desert sands. In order to avenge his father and retake Arrakis from the Harkonnens, Paul must earn the trust of the Fremen and lead a tiny army against the innumerable forces aligned against them. And his journey will change the universe.

Scifimonumentin neljäs osa vihdoin suomeksi! Dyyni-sarjan filosofisin osa vie Atreides-suvun aikakauden päätökseensä. Dyynin lasten tapahtumista on kulunut 3 500 vuotta. Tarunhohtoisesta, aavikoiden peittämästä Dyynistä on jäljellä enää vain Leto Atreides II:n rujo hahmo. Leto on tuhansien vuosien muodonmuutoksen jälkeen enimmäkseen hiekkamato - ja Imperiuminsa lähes kuolematon jumalkeisari. Yksin Leto tuntee tulevaisuuden, ja hänen on ohjattava ihmiskunta pois tuhon tieltä pitkin Kultaista polkua. Leton hallinnosta on kuitenkin inhimillisyys kaukana. Hirmuhallitsijan valtaa vastustaa kapinallisjoukko, jota johtaa Atreides-sukuun kuuluva Siona. Leton ja Sionan kohtaaminen sysää liikkeelle jumalkeisarin viimeisen, kohtalokkaan suunnitelman. Frank Herbert (1920-1986) on tieteiskirjallisuuden suurimpia uranuurtajia. Hänen pääteoksenaan pidetään Dyyni-sarjaa, josta on aiemmin suomennettu Dyyni, Dyynin messias ja Dyynin lapset. Alun perin vuonna 1981 ilmestynyt scifiklassikko Dyynin lapset julkaistaan nyt ensi kertaa suomeksi. Scifimonumentti Dyyni on myös nähty kahdesti valkokankaalla: ensin David Lynchin ja nyttemmin Denis Villeneuven sovituksena elokuvatrilogiassa, jonka kolmas osa saa ensi-iltansa joulukuussa 2026. * ”Antoisa kattaus... vahvaa kamaa.” - Los Angeles Times ”Neljäs vierailu kaukaiselle Arrakis-planeetalle on aivan yhtä kiehtova kuin kolme aiempaa - ja aina yhtä ajankohtainen.” - Time
