Dune
av Frank Herbert
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Timothee Chalamet, Josh Brolin, Jason Momoa, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgard, and Charlotte Rampling. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Maud'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 is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction. Frank Herbert's death in 1986 was a tragic loss, yet the astounding legacy of his visionary fiction will live forever.

Dyyni
av Frank Herbert
"Modernin scifin monumentti." Chicago Tribune

Hienovireinen 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. Ennen kirjailijanuraansa hän työskenteli mm. toimittajana, simpukansukeltajana, radioäänenä ja luovan kirjoittamisen opettajana. Hänen teemoihinsa lukeutuvat ympäristö, talous, politiikka ja valta. Hänen pääteoksenaan pidetään Dyyniä, joka on nähty valkokankaalla David Lynchin (1984) ja Denis Villeneuven (2021) versioina.

Dyynin lapset
av Frank Herbert
Monumentaalinen scifisaaga saa jatkoa.

Dyynin lapset oli 1970-luvun tieteiskirjallisuuden suurtapahtuma. Nyt ensi kertaa suomeksi ilmestyvä, kauan odotettu klassikkoteos on edelleen ajankohtainen, enteellinen ja genrensä huippua.

Yhdeksän vuotta sitten keisari Paul Atreides katosi Arrakisin autiomaahan. Hän jätti jälkeensä vastasyntyneet lapsensa Leton ja Ghaniman. Kaksosilla on perintönään isänsä ennusnäyt ihmiskunnan kohtalosta. Maailmankaikkeutta hallitsee Atreidesin suvun nimissä kaksosten täti Alia, mutta hänen valtaansa uhkaavat niin poliittinen juonittelu kuin hänen oman perimänsä kahleet.

Monikerroksinen Dyyni-sarja syventyy ympäristötuhoon, kulttuurien yhteentörmäyksiin, uskonnolliseen ääriajatteluun ja tyrannihallintoihin. Isojen muutosten keskellä häilyy kysymys siitä, kuinka suuri tai pieni voi yksi ihminen olla.

Frank Herbert (1920-1986) oli tieteiskirjallisuuden suurimpia uranuurtajia. Hänen pääteoksenaan pidetään Dyyni-sarjaa, josta on aiemmin suomennettu Dyyni sekä Dyynin messias. Scifimonumentti Dyyni on myös nähty kahdesti valkokankaalla: ensin David Lynchin ja nyttemmin Denis Villeneuven sovituksena. Uusimman elokuvan jatko-osa saapuu elokuvateattereihin helmikuussa 2024. Myös Dyynin lapsista on tehty minisarja Frank Herbert"s Children of Dune (2003).

Dyynin Messias
av Frank Herbert
"Täydellinen manttelinperijä Dyynille. Kerrassaan kiehtova." - Challenging Destiny

Monumentaalisen 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 ihmiskunnan kohtalo.

Dyynin messias pureutuu vastahakoisen messiaan heikkouksiin yllättävän inhimillisellä otteella. Alun perin vuonna 1969 julkaistu Dyyni-sarjan toinen osa on täynnä poliittista vehkeilyä ja vie Atreidesien tarinan uudelle tasolle.

Frank Herbert (1920-1986) oli tieteiskirjallisuuden suurimpia nimiä. Ennen kirjailijanuraansa hän työskenteli mm. toimittajana, radioäänenä ja luovan kirjoittamisen opettajana. Hänen teemoihinsa lukeutuvat ympäristö, talous, politiikka ja valta. Hänen pääteoksenaan pidetään Dyyniä, joka on nähty valkokankaalla David Lynchin (1984) ja Denis Villeneuven (2021, 2024) versioina.

Dyynin messias on suoraa jatkoa Dyyni-elokuvien tapahtumille.

Direct Descent
av Frank Herbert

But those who happen to be low-opped live crowded in warrens, facing harsh lives and brutal conditions.Daniel Movius, ex-senior liaitor, rides high in the opinion polls-until he loses everything, brushed aside by a very powerful man. Low-opped and abandoned, Movius finds himself fighting for survival in the city's underworld. There, the opinion of the masses is clear: it is time for a revolution against the corrupt superprivileged-and every revolution needs a leader.
