Book "Dune" Frank Herbert

This number one science fiction novel of the 20th century can be described as a socio-political, psychological drama, a fable, a legend, whose heroes are archetypes. The novel is not a struggle between good and evil: it is a struggle between different cultures, lifestyles. “Dune” is also a novel about religion, environmentalism, technology, capitalism and decolonization. It tells the story of how leaders, messiahs, are born and reminds us that heroes make mistakes… mistakes that are justified by the people who slavishly follow such leaders.
