Like many others, I have changed my mind about this book from the first time reading it in the late 1980s to over three decades later reading it a second time. In the 1980s I finished God Emperor of Dune and went … huh? what a weird book. This second read decades later I have a better appreciation of Leto as a tyrant ruler who thinks himself benevolent while morphing into something inhuman. This book is worth a close read. ( ) Challenging book. Both its narrative and thematic elements are difficult and often times simply not compelling. Yet streaks of Frank Herberts brilliance consistently discuss Dune's best aspect: its politics, philosophy, religion and more; expanding upon the 3 great novels. Poignant, horrifying and simply baffling. Some criticisms but ultimately, the best entry thus far. Messiah and Children feel like mostly preparatory reading for this one; their setup pays off and we're given the weirdest and most out there book in the series so far. Leto II's fusion with the worm and genetic memory, trying to steer the future through seemingly random manipulations makes a good fit for the mystical fusion of science and religion Herbert has been developing. The stilted dialogue and awkward characters now fit the mould he's created. Ultimately as enjoyable and creative as this is I don't think it justifies the 1200 pages of reading beyond Dune itself. Proceed only if enthralled by the universe. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Millennia have passed on Arrakis, and the once-desert planet is green with life. Leto Atreides, the son of the world's savior, the Emperor Paul Muad'Dib, is still alive but far from human. To preserve humanity's future, he sacrificed his own by merging with a sandworm, granting him near immortality as God Emperor of Dune for the past thirty-five hundred years. Leto's rule is not a benevolent one. His transformation has made not only his appearance but his morality inhuman. A rebellion, led by Siona, a member of the Atreides family, has risen to oppose the despot's rule. But Siona is unaware that Leto's vision of a Golden Path for humanity requires her to fulfill a destiny she never wanted--or could possibly conceive.... Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
