Frances Lincoln, an imprint of the Quarto Group will publish an in-depth exploration of the rich and diverse influences behind Frank Herbert and his novels, including the best-selling epic Dune.
John Parton acquired World Rights to Tom Huddleston’s THE WORLDS OF DUNE from Ella Kahn at DKW.
In the decades since its publication, Herbert’s Dune has become arguably the best-selling and certainly the best-known science fiction novel ever written. Herbert’s influences for his legendary creation came from far and wide, they range from classical history to cutting-edge science, from environmentalism to Zen philosophy, and from Arabic texts to Shakespeare’s tragedies.
Beginning on Arrakis and going planet by planet, THE WORLDS OF DUNE offers a supremely deep dive into Herbert’s universe offering a
visually rich accompaniment to this sci-fi legend.
For long-established admirer of Herbert’s writing, and new fans brought to Dune through Denis Villeneuve’s film adaptations alike, this is a comprehensive go-to resource to explore the detailed worlds of Herbert imagining.
THE WORLDS OF DUNE will be published on 5th October 2023 by Frances Lincoln in hardback and eBook, £25.00.
