I will start with a small introduction: I actually wanted to share my impressions on four more books, but I had so many thoughts and impressions that this review became way too long. I wrote so much, because I adore this book series 🙂 That is why I hope it may be interesting, helpful or enjoyable enough. So… Let’s go 😉

What are the books? Aren’t they the windows that give an outlook on something beyond the walls you are confined in? They give the view, the light, the blasts of fresh air, the world would be bleak and stuffy without them. Sure, nothing new was said, but still I’d like to share my opinion on Dune and its sequels written by Frank Herbert.

To be more precise I’m speaking about six of them: Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, Chapterhouse: Dune… I’ve read it two times, because some books, even when finished, leave behind that absolutely enchanting atmosphere, the rhythm, the melody innately intertwining the text, the World and the personages living there. You become so addicted to it that you come back for more, you can’t help it. But beside these charming, absolutely capturing and deeply hypnotizing descriptions there is something more in this case. Philosophy.
The Dune book series unravels the reader the story of the Adreides family: their honor, their fight for a better world, and their influence on the distant future world, the path of its development. In a way it is much bigger than that. It is a story about the whole of humanity, in which the author tries to answer eternal questions, some of them quite global, like the sense of life.
