BOKEN BAKOM STORFILMEN!VINNARE AV HUGO AWARD & NEBULA AWARD
Melange är det mest eftertraktade ämnet i universum: en drog som kan förlänga människors liv och berika det med ett multidimensionellt medvetande, det sista en förutsättning för navigering under interstellära rymdresor. Melange finns bara på den karga ökenplaneten Arrakis. När kejsaren tar ifrån adelsfamiljen Harkonnen vasallskapet för att i stället ge planeten i förläning till familjen Atreides slår Harkonnen tillbaka och mördar fursten Leto Atreides. Sonen Paul flyr ut i öknen med sin mor lady Jessica och de räddas från att törsta ihjäl av Arrakis ursprungsfolk. Paul måste vinna arrakisfolkets tillit innan han kan leda upproret mot familjen Harkonnen. Berättelsen om kampen om herraväldet över Arrakis är en storslagen och oavbrutet fängslande historia om makthunger, religion, svek, teknologisk övertro och begränsade naturtillgångar. I svensk översättning av Gabriel Setterborg.
FRANK HERBERT [1920-1986] var en amerikansk science fiction-författare som publicerade sina första noveller på 1950-talet. Dune, som utkom 1965, betraktas allmänt som en av de främsta romanerna någonsin i genren. Den belönades med både The Hugo Award och The Nebula Award. Vintern 2020 har den nya, stort påkostade filmatiseringen av Dune premiär, i regi av Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Sicario).
»Kraftfull, övertygande, genialisk.« Robert A. Heinlein
»Lika fängslande i sin handling som i sina filosofiska vyer. Ett häpnadsväckande science fiction-fenomen.« Washington Post
»Dune är unik. Jag kan inte komma på något annat att jämföra den med än Sagan om ringen.« Arthur C. Clarke

Leto Atreides, the son of the world’s savior, the Emperor Paul Muad’Dib, is still alive but far from human. To preserve humanity’s future, he sacrificed his own by merging with a sandworm, granting him near immortality as God Emperor of Dune for the past thirty-five hundred years.Leto’s rule is not a benevolent one. His transformation has made not only his appearance but his morality inhuman. A rebellion, led by Siona, a member of the Atreides family, has risen to oppose the despot’s rule. But Siona is unaware that Leto’s vision of a Golden Path for humanity requires her to fulfill a destiny she never wanted—or could possibly conceive....
