I’ve been surprised how well the first four held up, but wow this one is a real slog!
Begär, makt, definitioner av ädla mål, reflektioner kring vad som är värdefullt att leva för. Sexualitet utan kärlek. Frågan om kärlek.
Några tankar som genom Dune-berättelsens femte bok gestaltas av olika karaktärers inre liv och handlande. Allt inramat i det äventyrliga universum som Frank Herbert skapade. Jag tycker Dune-serien blir bättre i den här delen, sant också för den förra, God Emperor of Dune. Det blir som en progression av kvalitet där de tre första delarna inte är riktigt lika läsvärda som de följande böckerna.
