Dyuna

Frenk Gerbert uspel napisat' mnogo, no v istorii ostalsya prezhde vsego kak avtor epopei "Hroniki Dyuny" – vozmozhno, samoy proslavlennoy fantasticheskoy sagi nashego stoletiya, sagi, perevedennoy na desyatki yazykov i zavoevavshey serdca millionov chitateley po vsemu miru. Avtoritetnyy zhurnal nauchnoy fantastiki "Lokus" priznal "Dyunu" – pervyy roman epopei o "peschanoy planete" – luchshim nauchno-fantasticheskim romanom vseh vremen i narodov. V "Dyune" Frenku Gerbertu udalos' nevozmozhnoe – sozdat' svoeobraznuyu hroniku dalekogo buduschego. I ne bylo za vsyu istoriyu mirovoy fantastiki kartiny gryaduschego bolee yarkoy, bolee zrimoy, bolee moschnoy i original'noy. Cikl "Hroniki Dyuny" byl i ostaetsya unikal'nym yavleniem – samym grandioznym, samym derzkim, samym masshtabnym tvoreniem za vsyu istoriyu mirovoy fantastiki. No chto obespechilo emu takuyu gromkuyu slavu i takuyu besprecedentnuyu populyarnost'?
