Über den Autor

Frank Herbert was born Franklin Patrick Herbert, Jr. in Tacoma, Washington on October 8, 1920. He worked originally as a journalist, but then turned to science fiction. His Dune series has had a major impact on that genre. Some critics assert that Herbert is responsible for bringing in a new branch mehr anzeigen of ecological science fiction. He had a personal interest in world ecology, and consulted with the governments of Vietnam and Pakistan about ecological issues. The length of some of Herbert's novels also helped make it acceptable for science fiction authors to write longer books. It is clear that, if the reader is engaged by the story---and Herbert certainly has the ability to engage his readers---length is not important. As is usually the case with popular fiction, it comes down to whether or not the reader is entertained, and Herbert is, above all, an entertaining and often compelling writer. His greatest talent is his ability to create new worlds that are plausible to readers, in spite of their alien nature, such as the planet Arrakis in the Dune series. Frank Herbert died of complications from pancreatic cancer on February, 11, 1986, in Madison, Wisconsin. He was 65. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Kurzbiographie
Né le 8 octobre 1920 au Etats-Unis à Tacoma dans l’état de Washington et mort le 11 février 1986 . Franck Patrick Herbert commence à publier de la science fiction en 1952 dans Starling stories. Le succès arrive en 1955 avec la publication de son premier roman « UNDER PRESSURE » dans Astounding magazine.Homme de science, il a effectué des recherches dans divers domaines tel que la géologie sous-marine, la botanique des régions tropicales , la psychologie , l’ethnologie…

En tant qu’expert , il a participé à l’instruction de pilotes de la NASA. Il a aussi enseigné a l’université de Seattle.Avant son décès , il vivait à Port Townsend ou il menait un projet de culture écologique ( le Projet Biosphère -à vérifier).

Il est l’auteur d’une des œuvres majeurs de la science fiction : Le Cycle de Dune(quasi 20 millions d’exemplaires, des ventes digne de la Bible). Le livre de Dune a été rédigé en 1964/65 et valut a Franck Herbert le prix Hugo et le prix Nebula .

Franklin Patrick Herbert Jr. (October 8, 1920 – February 11, 1986) was an American science-fiction author best known for the 1965 novel Dune and its five sequels. Though he became famous for his novels, he also wrote short stories and worked as a newspaper journalist, photographer, book reviewer, ecological consultant, and lecturer.

The Dune saga, set in the distant future, and taking place over millennia, explores complex themes, such as the long-term survival of the human species, human evolution, planetary science and ecology, and the intersection of religion, politics, economics and power in a future where humanity has long since developed interstellar travel and settled many thousands of worlds. Dune is the best-selling science fiction novel of all time, and the whole series is widely considered to be among the classics of the genre.

Frank Herbert was born on October 8, 1920, in Tacoma, Washington, to Frank Patrick Herbert Sr. and Eileen (McCarthy) Herbert. Because of a poor home environment, he ran away from home in 1938 to live with an aunt and uncle in Salem, Oregon. He enrolled in high school at Salem High School (now North Salem High School), where he graduated the next year. In 1939 he lied about his age to get his first newspaper job at the Glendale Star. Herbert then returned to Salem in 1940 where he worked for the Oregon Statesman newspaper (now Statesman Journal) in a variety of positions, including photographer.

He served in the U.S. Navy's Seabees for six months as a photographer during World War II, then he was given a medical discharge. He married Flora Parkinson in San Pedro, California, in 1940.

Hacker News:
In my opinion: Yes!
Here's the advice I give to people about the entire Dune series:
Read Dune. If you don't like it, stop.
Read Dune Messiah. If you don't like it, stop.
Read Children of Dune. If you liked Messiah you'll probably like this as well.
Read God Emperor of Dune. This one stands alone. Lots of people hate it. Whether you like it or not, don't stop.
Read Heretics of Dune. If you don't like it, stop.
Read Chapterhouse: Dune. Weep that it's over.
In my experience, people who like Dune generally will enjoy at least through Children of Dune. Anyone who enjoys God Emperor of Dune is insane (maybe why it might be my favorite).
Regarding the other Dune books, read them out of curiosity if you like, but they're not really Dune books despite being in that universe. I've read about seven of them out of optimism and hope but didn't enjoy them at all. Even Sandworms of Dune which is ostensibly based on Frank Herbert's notes for Dune 7 wasn't enjoyable to me, although it was least bad.

Aus der Amazon.de-Redaktion
Der mit den Hugo- und Nebula-Preisen ausgezeichnete Science-Fiction-Roman Der Wüstenplanet erzählt die komplexe Geschichte des Wüstenplaneten Arrakis, der im Mittelpunkt eines verstrickten Machtkampfes innnerhalb eines byzantinischen interstellaren Imperiums steht. Arrakis ist die einzige Quelle für Melange, das "Gewürz aller Gewürze". Melange ist für die Fortbewegung zwischen den Sternen nötig und verleiht außerdem übersinnliche Kräfte und langes Leben. Die Kontrolle über Melange ist also gleichbedeutend mit viel Macht.
Ärger gibt es, als der Imperator dem Geschlecht der Harkonnen die Verwaltung über Arrakis entzieht und sie dem der Atreides überträgt. Da die Harkonnen ihr Privileg nicht einfach aufgeben wollen, verbannen sie den jungen Herzog Paul Atreides in die Wüste und überlassen ihn seinem Schicksal. Dort trifft dieser auf die Fremen, einen Wüstenstamm, mit deren Hilfe er ein Heer aufbaut, um das zurückzuerlangen, was rechtlich ihm gehört. Paul Atreides ist allerdings weitaus mehr als nur ein entrechteter Herzog. Möglicherweise ist er das Endprodukt eines lange vorausgeplanten Genexperiments, das die Schaffung eines Menschen mit übernatürlichen Fähigkeiten anvisiert, möglicherweise ein Messias. Sein Kampf findet inmitten eines Netzes mächtiger Personen und einflußreicher Ereignisse statt, und die Auswirkungen dieses Kampfes lassen das gesamte Imperium erschüttern. Der Wüstenplanet ist einer der bekanntesten Science-Fiction-Romane, die je geschrieben wurden, und dies nicht ohne Grund. Der Schauplatz ist differenziert und kunstvoll, die Handlung gleicht einem Labyrinth und die Abenteuer sind aufregend. Es folgen fünf weitere Bände. --Brooks Peck
