Frank, the author of Dune? Herbert made three great contributions to the development of science fiction. First of all, he taught science fiction writers how to give science fiction a spiritual core. Secondly, he made science fiction enter the palace of mainstream literature. Finally, through science fiction, he successfully aroused people's concern and thinking about politics, religion, philosophy, history, human evolution and desert ecology. The story of Dune Series takes place in the very distant future. At that time, human beings have evolved to abandon computers, and can travel across galaxies instantly through telepathy, and human footprints are all over the universe. Human civilization has been supported by the Empire, the Interstellar Transport Association, the Jester Sisterhood and the planetary families. The head of the empire, Shadan IV, sent Duke Leto, the Lord of the Cui Di family, to a very lonely and desolate planet on the edge of the universe-Elacos, that is, the sand dunes. This asteroid is almost watertight and its surface is covered with rocky yellow sand. The weather is so bad that it is difficult for people to survive on it. However, it is the most remarkable place in the whole universe, because it produces a mysterious spice that can open the heart, prolong life and even have the ability to foresee the future. Therefore, sand dunes have become the battleground for the major power groups in the universe. Whoever controls the spices controls the universe. It was a conspiracy that the Duke of Leto was sent to the dunes. The Hakanan family, the feud of the Cui Di family, colluded with Shadan IV to launch an attack and killed the Duke of Leto. The duke's son, Paul, and his mother, Jessica, fled to the depths of the desert and were protected by the indigenous Freeman people in the sand dunes. Freeman people have been exploited and oppressed by Hakonan people for a long time. They think Paul is the messiah of sand dunes-the legendary savior of Freeman people. So Paul began to lead the Feldman people to fight fiercely with the major forces of the stars.
? In Dune, the whole planet is a vast sea of sand, and there are huge sand worms lurking in the depths. This land is the territory of the mysterious and unknown summer gourd. On this planet, it is said that life originated from the creator (Xia Hulu) in the sand sea, which is similar to life on earth. Although Erasmus is a unique planet in the universe, it is no different from the familiar earth, and the characters in the book are no different from those we are familiar with. The whole story can be understood as a prince's revenge in a short sentence. When his father was assassinated, the whole army faced many enemies and was wiped out. Only the prince and mother escaped. How did he survive and win the trust of Ferlemann people?
? Faced with enemies everywhere, deserts everywhere, and dangerous sand worms, it was really a narrow escape. In the face of all kinds of dangers, Paul also has fears. In the center of Desert Storm, "in the face of the storm, the metal is cut like butter, the meat is corroded from the bone, and finally the bone is completely eaten." She can feel the impact of flying sand ... he hears teeth fighting. " Paul told himself in the face of fear: "fear is the killer of thinking, and fear is a small death that leads to complete destruction." I will face up to my fear and let it pass through my body. When the fear disappears, I will open my mind and see its trajectory clearly. Where fear passes, nothing is left, only me. " I think this is a sign of courage. Fear and courage are two sides of a whole. Facing fear is a time to show courage. Let it pass in the moment of fear, and then I can live alone. I think this is why this science fiction novel is so popular. It is written in the cloak of science fiction, and human nature is its core.
As the cover says: Every time human beings face up to their own smallness, it is a great progress for themselves. Every time you face fear, it is a sign of courage!
