you. Give the Harkonnen a blade, and let him stand forth. If Feyd wishes, he can meet you with my blade in his hand. - I wish it. - This is a Harkonnen animal. Let me. Please, my lord. The Emperor's blade. [ Drumbeats Continue ] Why prolong the inevitable ? I will kill you ! [ Laughing ] [ Grunting ] I will kill him ! [ Grunting ] Paul ! I will kill him ! [ Laughing ] Who is the little one ? A pet, perhaps ? Will she deserve my special attentions ? [ Paul's lnner Voice ] Poisoned. You see your death. My blade will finish you. [ Inner Voice ] I will bend like a reed in the wind. Aaaaah ! Aaaaah ! Cha-aksa ! Muad'Dib ! Usul no longer needs the weirding module. [ Princess lrulan Narrating ] Muad'Dib had become the hand of God, fulfilling the Fremen prophecy. Where there was war, Muad'Dib would now bring peace. Where there was hatred, Muad'Dib would bring love, to lead the people to true freedom, and to change the face of Arrakis. We Fremen have a saying. God created Arrakis to train the faithful. One cannot go against the word of God. [ Thunderclap ] And how can this be ? For he is the Kwisatz Haderach ![Wind howling] (male narrator) In the year 6041, before the reign of the Padishah Emperors, the Universe was ruled by thinking machines with human minds: Computers and conscious robots. The people deteriorated into a state of apathy. Then they became victims and slaves of other men with machines. [People screaming] Finally came the Great Revolt, the religious crusade against the machines. After the Great Revolt, human beings were forced to develop their minds. Thus mental training schools were established. These schools would change the history of the Universe. Only two of these ancient mental training schools remain. One is the Bene Gesserit school which was established primarily for female students. The function of the Bene Gesserit school is to carry on a selective breeding program among humans. Now, the other existing school, The Spacing Guild, or The Guild, emphasizes pure mathematics. The Guild's Space Navigators through the use of the orange spice drug, are able to fold space. That is, to guide spaceships without moving from one planet to another. It is through The Guild's monopolies on the economic life of the Universe that makes it so powerful. Know then that it is the year 10192. The Known Universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV. For many years the Emperor Shaddam IV has ruled on planet Kaitain over all the great houses of the Landsraad. The great houses of the Landsraad are members of the royal families who rule or govern over the major planets of the Universe according to the ancient feudal system of government. Two of the great houses of the Landsraad are the House of Atreides on planet Caladan ruled by Duke Leto Atreides and the House of Harkonnen on the planet Giedi Prime ruled by the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. In this time, the most precious substance in the Universe is the spice melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. CHOAM Company controls the mining of the spice. The CHOAM Company is controlled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and the great houses of the Landsraad with The Guild and the Bene Gesserit as silent partners. This combine is the key to the wealth and political power of the Universe. It is the Emperor Shaddam IV who dispenses CHOAM directorships and contracts ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Малыш и Карлсон на английском - текст Вся президентская рать на английском - текст Зелёный слоник на английском - текст Неоконченная пьеса для механического пианино на английском - текст Банзай, режиссёр! на английском |
