We present to your attention the author's collection of short stories published from 1952 to 1979 - the most complete collection of the author's short prose. A collection of brilliant ideas, many of which were developed in his novels. A rare collection from one of the most prominent fiction writers in literary history - for the first time under one cover. The stories are funny and disturbing, philosophical and adventurous, poetic and cynical, illustrating the most diverse strands of science fiction.
Again and again, putting his thought in simple or very intricate plots, Frank Herbert asks the reader "damned" and immortal questions: what is man? What is reason, and is reason alone enough to reach an understanding with other life forms? Where does the line of a scientist's responsibility for his invention lie? And what will ultimately save this strange cruel world: humanity, beauty, conscience - or simply love? Do not wait - Frank Herbert will not offer you ready-made answers. You will have to find them on your own.
