 Frank Herbert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dune saga dealt with themes such as human survival and evolution, ecology, and the intersection of religion, politics, and power, and is considered to be one of the greatest science fiction tales ever written, and as a classic of literature in general.
Herbert began researching Dune in 1959 and was able to devote himself more wholeheartedly to his writing career because his wife returned to work full time as an advertising writer for department stores, becoming the main breadwinner during the sixties.
Herbert later related in an interview with Willis E. McNeilly that the novel originated when he was supposed to do a magazine article on sand dunes in Florence, Oregon, but he got too involved in it and ended up with far more raw material than needed for a single article.

Herbert is perhaps best known for his technique of exploring analogies between emblematic objects--such as the human body or parts of the church building and its furniture--and religious truths.

 Estate of Carmen Herbert
Herbert lacked the necessary capacity by showing that she was lacking in at least one of the following.
One, the ability to understand that she was signing a will; two, the ability to understand and know the nature and extent of her property; three, the ability to know the natural objects of her bounty; and, four, the ability to formulate a rational plan for the distribution of her property after she died.
The essential requirement is that the testatrix, Carmen Herbert, know the contents of her will; if this fact appears, the fact that she could not read or understand the language in which the will was written does not defeat the will.
