Àííîòàöèÿ: American science-fiction writer, who became famous with his ecological novel DUNE (1965), set in a world of giant sandworms. The epic adventure won the first Nebula for Best Novel, shared the Hugo, and gained a cult status among science fiction readers. Herbert's bestseller was followed by five sequels.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The sand-blasted world of Arrakis has become green, watered and fertile. Old Paul Atreides, who led the desert Fremen to political and religious domination of the galaxy, is gone. But for the children of Dune, the very blossoming of their land contains the seeds of its own destruction. The altered climate is destroying the giant sandworms, and this in turn is disastrous for the planet's economy. Leto and Ghanima, Paul Atreides's twin children and his heirs, can see possible solutions - but fanatics begin to challenge the rule of the all-powerful Atreides empire, and more than economic disaster threatens...

Àííîòàöèÿ: Herbert's evocative, epic tales are set on the desert planet Arrakis, the focus for a complex political and military struggle with galaxy-wide repercussions. Arrakis is the source of spice, a mind-enhancing drug which makes interstellar travel possible; it is the most valuable substance in the galaxy. When Duke Atreides and his family take up court there, they fall into a trap set by the Duke's bitter rival, Baron Harkonnen.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The epic that began with the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning classic DUNE continues... The long-established galactic order is passing. The Honoured Matres, ruthless and all-conquering, have destroyed the planet Dune. In opposition, hard-pressed but still fighting back, the Bene Gesserit sisterhood co-ordinate their resistance from their as-yet undiscovered home world, Chapter House. Now as a new Scattering is planned, they still have one carefully nurtured asset: the sandworms, offspring of the only giant worm salvaged from Dune. Chapter House is to about to turn into a barren wasteland: Chapter House will be the new Dune. Read the series which inspired the 2021 Denis Villeneuve epic film adaptation, Dune, starring Oscar Isaac, Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya and Josh Brolin

Àííîòàöèÿ: More than three thousand years have passed since the first events recorded in DUNE. Only one link survives with those tumultuous times: the grotesque figure of Leto Atreides, son of the prophet Paul Muad'Dib, and now the virtually immortal God Emperor of Dune. He alone understands the future, and he knows with a terrible certainty that the evolution of his race is at an end unless he can breed new qualities into his species. But to achieve his final victory, Leto Atreides must also bring about his own downfall...

Àííîòàöèÿ: Up The Line To Death: The War Poets 1914—1918 is a poetry anthology edited by Brian Gardner, and first published in 1964. It was a thematic collection of the poetry of World War I.A significant revisiting of the tradition of the war poet, writing in English, it was backed up by strong biographical research on the poets included. Those were mainly British and Irish combatants of World War I; but there are also Australian, Canadian and American poets. The poems are arranged roughly in chronological order, from the start of the war to the end. Some contemporary poems by major poets not involved in the fighting are also given. The title of the anthology comes from the Siegfried Sassoon poem Base Details.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Der Djihad, der Heilige Krieg, ist längst vorüber. Das Imperium der Fremen trägt den Keim des Zerfalls in sich. Der erblindete Muad—dib ist nach Fremenbrauch in die Wüste gezogen umzu sterben, sich dem Shai-hulud zu opfern. Er hat seine Gaben, die Erinnerung von Vorfahren wieder zu erwecken und seherisch in die Zukunft zu blicken, seinen Zwillingen vererbt. Trotz der ungeheuren Kräfte, über die sie verfügen, sind sie verletzliche Kinder, und sie müssen sich nicht nur zur Wehr setzen gegen die Feinde im ihrem Innern, die Schatten der Vergangenheit, die sie heimsuchen, sondern auch gegen die Feinde von außen, die ihnen nach dem Leben trachten und das Imperium zerschmettern wollen. Da kommt eines Tages ein blinder Prediger aus der Wüste. Er prophezeit den Untergang und erhebt seine Stimme wider die Erstarrung der Religion. Ist er der wiedererstandene Muad—dib, wie manche behaupten? Ist er nur ein harmloser Schwätzer? Oder ist er ein subtiles Werkzeug der Gegner des Imperiums?

Àííîòàöèÿ: Zuallererst ist dies ein Buch fur Kinder. Es ist kunterbunt: 28 Autoren erzahlen 28 Geschichten von der Hexe, vom Floh und Storch, von netten und gemeinen Kindern, Raubern, Eltern, von der Schule, von Indianern und Marsmenschen, von Traumen und von der Wirklichkeit. Es ist aber auch ein Buch fur Erwachsene. Sie bekommen einen weiten Uberblick uber die heutige deutsche Kinderliteratur. Sie haben hoffentlich ebenso viel Spass daran wie die Kinder. So konnte dieses Buch ein Familienbuch sein, Kleinen und Grossen etwas bieten, gemeinsam oder einzeln immer mal wieder benutzt werden
