00:06
A mother and her son trek across an endless desert.
0

Majka sa svojim sinom pešači preko beskrajne pustinje.
00:10
Wearing special skin-tight suits to dissipate heat and recycle moisture,
1
10428
4467
Obučeni u naročita uska odela koja raspršuju toplotu i recikliraju vlagu,
00:14
the travelers aren’t worried about dying of thirst.
2
14895
2798
putnike ne brine da bi mogli da umru od žeđi.
00:17
Their fears are much greater.
3
17693
2231
Njihovi strahovi su mnogo veći.
00:19
The pair try to walk without rhythm,
4
19924
2335
Par pokušava da hoda aritmično,
00:22
letting the vibrations of their footsteps blend into the shifting sands.
5
22259
4272
puštajući da se vibracije njihovih koraka stope sa pokretnim peskom.
00:26
But soon, the sound of the desert is drowned out by a louder hissing.
6
26531
4643
Međutim, ubrzo je zvuk pustinje ugušen glasnijim šištanjem.
00:31
As a mound of sand races towards them,
7
31174
2390
Kako peščani breg počinje da juri ka njima,
00:33
the pair’s unnatural gait turns into a sprint.
8
33564
3710
neprirodni hod ovog para se preobraća u sprint.
00:37
The two clamber into a nearby rock face,
9
37274
2694
Dvojac se uspentrava na obližnju liticu,
00:39
as a sandworm 400 meters long bursts from the desert floor.
10
39968
5122
dok peščani crv od 400 metara izbija iz pustinjskog tla.
00:45
This is the world of "Dune."
11
45090
3190
Ovo je svet „Dine”.
00:48
Written by Frank Herbert and published in 1965,
12
48280
3523
Napisao ju je i objavio Frenk Herbert 1965. godine,
00:51
"Dune" takes place in a far-flung future,
13
51803
2757
i „Dina” se zbiva u dalekoj budućnosti
00:54
where humanity rules the stars in a giant feudal empire.
14
54560
4044
gde čovečanstvo vlada zvezdama u ogromnom feudalnom carstvu.
00:58
This medieval motif goes beyond just the government.
15
58604
3545
Ovaj srednjovekovni motiv se proteže izvan puke vladavine.
01:02
Unlike most interstellar sci-fi,
16
62149
2072
Nasuprot većini dela međuzvezdane naučne fantastike,
01:04
Herbert's humans conquered the stars without any computers.
17
64221
3682
Herbertovi ljudi su osvojili zvezde bez upotrebe kompjutera.
01:07
Following an ancient war with robots,
18
67903
2203
Nakon drevnog rata sa robotima,
01:10
humanity has forbidden the construction of any machine
19
70106
3416
čovečanstvo je zabranilo izgradnju bilo kakvih mašina
01:13
“in the likeness of a human mind.”
20
73522
2702
koje su „po uzoru na ljudski um”.
01:16
But rather than stifling their expansion,
21
76224
2390
Međutim, umesto da uguši njihovu ekspanziju,
01:18
this edict forced humans to evolve in startling ways—
22
78614
3800
ova zabrana je naterala ljude da evoluiraju na zapanjujuće načine -
01:22
becoming biological computers, psychic witches, and prescient space pilots.
23
82414
5651
postajući biološki kompjuteri, vidovite veštice i intuitivni svemirski piloti.
01:28
Members of these super-powered factions
24
88065
2330
Članove frakcija velikih sila
01:30
are regularly employed by various noble houses,
25
90395
3726
redovno unajmljuju razne plemićke kuće,
01:34
all competing for power and new planets to add to their kingdoms.
26
94121
4960
a svi se nadmeću za moć i da dodaju nove planete svojim kraljevstvima.
01:39
But almost all these superhuman skills rely on the same precious resource:
27
99081
5251
Međutim, sve se ove nadljudske veštine oslanjaju na isti dragoceni izvor:
01:44
the spice.
28
104332
1460
začin.
01:45
This mystical crop also known as “melange” is essential for all space travel,
29
105792
5786
Ova mistična žitarica poznata kao „melanž” je suštinski važna za svemirska putovanja,
01:51
making it the cornerstone of the galactic economy.
30
111578
2880
čime je postala temelj vaseljenske ekonomije.
01:54
And it only grows on the desert planet Arrakis,
31
114458
3467
A ona jedino raste na pustinjskoj planeti Arakis,
01:57
a dangerous and inhospitable world whose native inhabitants
32
117925
3621
opasnom i negostoljubljivom svetu čiji su se domoroci
02:01
have long rebelled against the empire.
33
121546
3088
odavno pobunili protiv carstva.
02:04
Arrakis, also called Dune, is the setting for Herbert’s novel,
34
124634
3965
Arakis, nazvan i Dina, je mesto radnje Herbertovog romana,
02:08
which follows Paul of the noble House Atreides.
35
128599
4170
koji prati Pola iz plemićke kuće Atreida.
02:12
The book begins with Paul’s family being assigned control of Dune
36
132769
4004
Knjiga počinje kada Polova porodica dobije zadatak da kontroliše Dinu
02:16
as part of an elaborate plot by their sworn enemies:
37
136773
3166
kao deo razrađene zavere njihovih zakletih neprijatelja:
02:19
the sadistic slave drivers of House Harkonnen.
38
139939
3853
sadističkih robovlasnika iz kuće Harkonen.
02:23
The conflict between these houses upends the delicate political balance on Arrakis.
39
143792
5101
Sukob između ovih kuća ruši krhku političku ravnotežu na Arakisu.
02:28
Soon, Paul is catapulted into the middle of a planetary revolution,
40
148893
4110
Uskoro, Pol je bačen u središte planetarne revolucije
02:33
where he must prove himself capable of leading— and surviving—
41
153003
3943
gde mora da dokaže da je sposoban da predvodi - i preživi -
02:36
on this hostile desert world.
42
156946
2733
u ovom neprijateljskom pustinjskom svetu.
02:39
But Arrakis is not simply an endless sea of sand.
43
159679
3450
Međutim, Arakis nije samo beskrajno peščano more.
02:43
Herbert was an avid environmentalist,
44
163129
2430
Herbert je bio predani ekolog,
02:45
who spent over five years creating Dune’s complex ecosystem.
45
165559
3948
koji je proveo preko pet godina gradeći složeni ekosistem Dine.
02:49
The planet is checkered with climate belts and wind tunnels
46
169507
3379
Planeta je išarana klimatskim pojasima i efektima tunela
02:52
that have shaped its rocky topography.
47
172886
2590
koji su oblikovali njenu stenovitu topografiju.
02:55
Different temperate zones produce varying desert flora.
48
175476
2868
Različite temperaturne zone uzrokuju raznoliku pustinjsku floru.
02:58
And almost every element of Dune’s ecosystem works together
49
178344
3580
A skoro svi elementi Dininog ekosistema sarađuju
03:01
to produce the planet’s essential export.
50
181924
3073
kako bi proizveli esencijalni izvozni produkt planete.
03:04
Herbert’s world building also includes a rich web of philosophy and religion.
51
184997
5529
Herbert u građenju sveta koristi i bogatu mrežu filozofije i religije.
03:10
Paul’s mother Jessica, is a member of the Bene Gesserit,
52
190526
3520
Polova majka Džesika je član Beni Džeserita,
03:14
an ancient cult of spice-assisted psychics.
53
194046
3135
drevnog kulta vidovnjaka koji koriste začin.
03:17
Sometimes called “witches” for their mysterious powers,
54
197181
2959
Ponekad nazivani vešticama zbog njihovih tajanstvenih moći,
03:20
the Bene Gesserit have operated as a shadow government for millennia
55
200140
4153
Beni Džeserit milenijumima deluju kao vlada iz senke
03:24
in an effort to guide society towards enlightenment.
56
204293
3828
pokušavajući da usmere društvo ka prosvetljenju.
03:28
Similarly ancient are the Mentats—
57
208121
2480
Njima slični su i drevni Mentatsi -
03:30
human computers capable of processing incredible amounts of data.
58
210601
4177
ljudski kompjuteri sposobni da obrade neverovatne količine podataka.
03:34
While the Mentats are bastions of logic and reason,
59
214778
2771
Iako su Mentatsi stegovi logike i razuma,
03:37
their results are not mere calculations,
60
217549
2454
njihovi rezultati nisu puki proračuni,
03:40
but rather, streams of constantly shifting possibilities.
61
220003
4067
već bujice trajno promenljivih mogućnosti.
03:44
However, no group is more central to "Dune" than the Fremen.
62
224070
4361
Međutim, najcentralnija grupa u „Dini” su Fremeni.
03:48
Natives of Arrakis, they are the keepers of the planet’s many secrets.
63
228431
4824
Domoroci iz Arakisa, oni su čuvari mnogih tajni ove planete.
03:53
Paul’s journey takes him deep into the Fremen’s exclusive brotherhood,
64
233255
3530
Polovo putovanje ga vodi duboko u ekskluzivno bratstvo Fremena
03:56
where he must prove himself trustworthy
65
236785
1999
gde mora da dokaže da može da mu se veruje
03:58
in a series of increasingly deadly challenges.
66
238784
3252
u nizu sve smrtonosnijih izazova.
04:02
All these factions have deep histories that pervade the text,
67
242036
3381
Sve ove frakcije imaju obimne istorije koje prožimaju tekst,
04:05
and Herbert also incorporates that sense of scale into the book’s structure.
68
245417
4469
a Herbert uključuje i osećaj istorijskih razmera u strukturu knjige.
04:09
Each chapter begins with a quote from a future history book,
69
249886
3400
Svako poglavlje počinje citatom iz istorijske knjige iz budućnosti
04:13
recalling elements of the events that are about to unfold.
70
253286
3490
sećajući se elemenata događaja koji će da uslede.
04:16
The book also contains in-universe appendices
71
256776
3292
Knjiga takođe sadrži dodatke iz pojedinačnih univerzuma
04:20
that further explore the Empire’s history;
72
260068
2568
koji dodatno istražuju istoriju carstva;
04:22
alongside a glossary of words like “Gom jabbar” and “Shai-Hulud."
73
262636
4839
uz rečnik reči poput „gom-džabar” i „šaj-hulud”.
04:27
Dune’s epic story continues to unfold over a six-book saga that spans millennia.
74
267475
6040
Dinina epska priča se razvija u sagi od šest tomova koja obuhvata milenijume.
04:33
But every story of Arrakis’ future begins here:
75
273515
3430
Međutim, svaka priča o Arakisovoj budućnosti započinje ovde:
04:36
as Paul pursues a path that is dangerous, demanding,
76
276945
4165
dok Pol prati stazu koja je opasna, zahtvena
04:41
and always on the verge of being consumed by the oncoming storm.
77
281110
4981
i uvek na granici da je proguta nadolazeća oluja.
