Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender's Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune: winner of the prestigious Hugo and Nebula awards, and widely considered one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written. Melange, or 'spice', is the most valuable - and rarest - element in the universe; a drug that does everything from increasing a person's life-span to making intersteller travel possible. And it can only be found on a single planet: the inhospitable desert world Arrakis. Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe. When the Emperor transfers stewardship of Arrakis from the noble House Harkonnen to House Atreides, the Harkonnens fight back, murdering Duke Leto Atreides. Paul, his son, and Lady Jessica, his concubine, flee into the desert. On the point of death, they are rescued by a band for Fremen, the native people of Arrakis, who control Arrakis' second great resource: the giant worms that burrow beneath the burning desert sands. In order to avenge his father and retake Arrakis from the Harkonnens, Paul must earn the trust of the Fremen and lead a tiny army against the innumerable forces aligned against them. And his journey will change the universe.

  1. En klassiker av en anledning.
    Lily R, 19 oktober 2020

    Spännande, djup och välskriven klassiker. Ett måste för den som är intresserad av ekologi, religion eller politik. En riktig bladvändare och underhållande läsning även för den som inte är ett stort fan av sci-fi.

  2. Klassisk scifi
    Niklas, 12 juli 2016

    Klassisk scifi dock med mycket terminologi, så man får slå i appendix mycket. Tung på religion. Rekommenderas till älskare av scifi, annars inte.

A sweeping work of science-fiction that helped define the genre and bring it to the mainstream * The Independent * Adapted from Frank Herbert's 1960s opus, Dune is dense, moody and quite often sublime - the missing link bridging the multiplex and the arthouse * The Guardian - 5* * This new adaptation of the 1965 Frank Herbert novel ... it's science-fiction at its most majestic, unsettling and enveloping * Daily Telegraph * Dune is this generation's Lord of the Rings trilogy ... firmly grounded in Herbert's book. The author's story of feudal nobles waging war over Arrakis, the only source of a powerful drug known as spice, is thick with conflicting ideas that academics are still unpacking today * The Independent * Dune: science fiction's answer to Lord of the Rings * The Guardian * Dune, more than 50 years after it was first published, is a story that speaks to the issues of our time * BBC Science Focus * Unique among SF novels . . . I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings. * Arthur C. Clarke * One of the landmarks of modern science fiction . . . an amazing feat of creation. * Analog * A racy read. * The Week * One of the most famous novels in the history of science fiction, Dune remains as popular today as it ever was. * SciFi Now *
