    one of my favourite moments in the book that shows Paul internal turmoil about his legacy was when he noticed one of his friends go from a friend to a follower. it made him sad.

    I haven't read the book. But to whoever is interested, the word jihad means struggle or effort. And lisan-al-gaib (pronounced like GUYb) means the tongue of the unknown/unseen. I was a bit shocked to find Arabic words here

      +TheManOfIdeas Herbert built the Fremen religion as a future mash up between Sunni political practice, Sufi mysticism combined with the Zen buddisht distrust of language to describe the mystical.

      Damn-near everything in Dune is inspired by Islam and middle-eastern culture in some way or another. The Fremen call the sandworms Shai'Hulud in reverence to them but also Shaitan in regards to their chaotic and destructive nature.

    • @OneEyedJack1970
      @OneEyedJack1970 8 лет назад +5

      +Mister Bones That's the Zen influence. To the Fremen, the notion that the sandworms could embody God and Satan at the same time, was perfectly normal.

    • @MisterBones2910
      @MisterBones2910 8 лет назад +1

      OneEyedJack1970
      Yes, but what I meant was that they are Arabic words (Shai'Hulud is a corruption of an Arabic word, but I digress) that have considerable spiritual significance in Islam.

      Oh, yeah. According to the Dune Encyclopedia (which granted, isn't cannon, but still very interesting), the Fremen language is Arabic

    Wonderfully done, Sir.

    I didn't like Dune that much, but these videos always make it seem like books I thought were boring are actually really really entertaining for some reason. It might be how Sparky summarizes them.

    • @wordforger
      @wordforger 10 лет назад +36

      I think the greatest thing that these videos do is to help people to find entertainment and meaning in literature they were likely forced to read and therefore likely hated when they were in school. The more of them they do, the more they encourage people to pick up a book they might not have read before, or to look back at a book that they might not have enjoyed on the first reading.

    • @tertrih9078
      @tertrih9078 9 лет назад +7

      I have found that really good analysis gets to the grips with what a book is trying to say. It is hard to take just one thing away from a book, as everyone has a different response to it, but a good analysis will usually give you insight that you hadn't had yourself, and can greatly improve your enjoyment of it.

    • @barfjavelin
      @barfjavelin 9 лет назад +14

      Super late to the party on this but dune is a particularly hard book to penetrate. Reading an analysis once you've finished it, then re-reading it at a later date with the analysis in mind really helps you understand and appreciate the complexity of it.

    I had a group of seventh graders that wanted to know about dune Because they saw it on my list of my top 10 books at number one. And then they saw the trailer for the new movie. I directed all of them to this video and said watch it when you’re at home but it’s a pretty good synopsis of the story

      @thesilverhedgehog 5 лет назад +1

      Complex and meditative. As someone who, I suspect, just discovered this video like myself, I assume you have strong feelings about Dune. I think this video summed it up well! It is a book that defies simple interpretations, and demands that the reader engage not only with the characters and archetypes, but the philosophy as well.
