The
desert
of
Frank
Herbert
s
classic
novel
is
a
vast
ocean
of
sand
,
with
giant
worms
diving
into
the
depths
,
the
mysterious
and
unrevealed
domain
of
Shai
-
Hulud
.
Dune
tops
are
like
the
crests
of
waves
,
and
there
are
powerful
sandstorms
out
there
,
creating
extreme
danger
.
On
Arrakis
,
life
is
said
to
emanate
from
the
Maker
(
Shai
-
Hulud
)
in
the
desert
-
sea
;
similarly
all
life
on
Earth
is
believed
to
have
evolved
from
our
oceans
.
Frank
Herbert
drew
parallels
,
used
spectacular
metaphors
,
and
extrapolated
present
conditions
into
world
systems
that
seem
entirely
alien
at
first
blush
.
But
close
examination
reveals
they
aren
t
so
different
from
systems
we
know
.
.
.
and
the
book
characters
of
his
imagination
are
not
so
different
from
people
familiar
to
us
.
Paul
Atreides
(
who
is
the
messianic
Muad
Dib
to
the
Fremen
)
resembles
Lawrence
of
Arabia
(
T
.
E
.
Lawrence
)
,
a
British
citizen
who
led
Arab
forces
in
a
successful
desert
revolt
against
the
Turks
during
World
War
I
.
Lawrence
employed
guerrilla
tactics
to
destroy
enemy
forces
and
communication
lines
,
and
came
close
to
becoming
a
messiah
figure
for
the
Arabs
.
This
historical
event
led
Frank
Herbert
to
consider
the
possibility
of
an
outsider
leading
native
forces
against
the
morally
corrupt
occupiers
of
a
desert
world
,
in
the
process
becoming
a
godlike
figure
to
them
.

One
time
I
asked
my
father
if
he
identified
with
any
of
the
characters
in
his
stories
,
and
to
my
surprise
he
said
it
was
Stilgar
,
the
rugged
leader
of
the
Fremen
.
I
had
been
thinking
of
Dad
more
as
the
dignified
,
honorable
Duke
Leto
,
or
the
heroic
,
swashbuckling
Paul
,
or
the
loyal
Duncan
Idaho
.
Mulling
this
over
,
I
realized
Stilgar
was
the
equivalent
of
a
Native
American
chief
in
Dune
a
person
who
represented
and
defended
time
-
honored
ways
that
did
not
harm
the
ecology
of
the
planet
.
Frank
Herbert
was
that
,
and
a
great
deal
more
.
As
a
child
,
he
had
known
a
Native
American
who
hinted
that
he
had
been
banished
from
his
tribe
,
a
man
named
Indian
Henry
who
taught
my
father
some
of
the
ways
of
his
people
,
including
fishing
,
the
identification
of
edible
and
medicinal
plants
in
the
forest
,
and
how
to
find
red
ants
and
protein
-
rich
grub
worms
for
food
.
When
he
set
up
the
desert
planet
of
Arrakis
and
the
galactic
empire
encompassing
it
,
Frank
Herbert
pitted
western
culture
against
primitive
culture
and
gave
the
nod
to
the
latter
.
In
Dune
he
wrote
,
Polish
comes
from
the
cities
;
wisdom
from
the
desert
.
(
Later
,
in
his
mainstream
novel
Soul
Catcher
,
he
would
do
something
similar
and
would
favor
old
ways
over
modern
ways
)
.
Like
the
nomadic
Bedouins
of
the
Arabian
plateau
,
the
Fremen
live
an
admirable
,
isolated
existence
,
separated
from
civilization
by
vast
stretches
of
desert
.
The
Fremen
take
psychedelic
drugs
during
religious
rites
,
like
the
Navajo
Indians
of
North
America
.
And
like
the
Jews
,
the
Fremen
have
been
persecuted
,
driven
to
hide
from
authorities
and
survive
away
from
their
homeland
.
Both
Jews
and
Fremen
expect
to
be
led
to
the
promised
land
by
a
messiah
.

The
words
and
names
in
Dune
are
from
many
tongues
,
including
Navajo
,
Latin
,
Chakobsa
(
a
language
found
in
the
Caucasus
)
,
the
Nahuatl
dialect
of
the
Aztecs
,
Greek
,
Persian
,
East
Indian
,
Russian
,
Turkish
,
Finnish
,
Old
English
,
and
,
of
course
,
Arabic
.
In
Children
of
Dune
,
Leto
II
allowed
sandtrout
to
attach
themselves
to
his
body
,
and
this
was
based
in
part
upon
my
father
s
own
experiences
as
a
boy
growing
up
in
Washington
State
,
when
he
rolled
up
his
trousers
and
waded
into
a
stream
or
lake
,
permitting
leeches
to
attach
themselves
to
his
legs
.
The
legendary
life
of
the
divine
superhero
Muad
Dib
is
based
on
themes
found
in
a
variety
of
religious
faiths
.
Frank
Herbert
even
used
lore
and
bits
of
information
from
the
people
of
the
Gobi
Desert
in
Asia
,
the
Kalahari
Desert
in
Southwest
Africa
,
and
the
aborigines
of
the
Australian
Outback
.
For
centuries
such
people
have
survived
on
very
small
amounts
of
water
,
in
environments
where
water
is
a
more
precious
resource
than
gold
.
