08 October 2025

Frank Patrick Herbert was born in Tacoma, Washington, on 8 October 1920. The American author is best remembered for his novel Dune, which earned him the Nebula Award in 1965 and the Hugo Award the following year. The book gave rise to one of the most influential science-fiction sagas of the twentieth century: a narrative exploring ecology, religion, and power. The universe he created also fired George Lucas’s imagination for Star Wars. After an early film adaptation by David Lynch, Dune has recently returned to the big screen with two films directed by Denis Villeneuve.
