Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the "spice" melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness. Coveted across the known universe, melange is a prize worth killing for...
When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul's family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined. And as he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib, he will bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.
A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.
Denne tok meg med storm! Eg forventa ikkje å like denne så godt som eg gjorde. Eg frykta noko langdrygt og keisamt. Til tidar var den det. Men som oftast satt eg på kanten av setet mens eg las. Venta på kva som kom til å skje i neste seksjon.
Det er gøy å sjå alt som Star Wars stjal. Ekstra gøy å samenlikne med Tremors-filmane.
No gler eg meg til neste bok!
Lo he disfrutado mucho, en seguida te mete en un universo increÃble y verosÃmil a la vez. La trama en sÃ, es muy mesiánica/profética, te tiene que gustar ese tipo de novelas, por lo demás muy disfrutable, aunque el final un tanto precipitado, te dan ganas de más. No sé qué tal serán los siguientes
Frank Herbert's Dune is one of those classic space opera science fiction novels I read as a teen which was incredibly influential. His world is so richly imagined - it's a fabulous sandbox for all the amazing shows and films which have followed.
Entertaining enough, and even better, I could follow it after watching the film!
Not sure I would be able to go too many books further into this universe (maybe with more film support ha!)
No me ha parecido tan coñazo como la primera vez que lo leÃ, seguramente porque está vez conocÃa bastante bien los conceptos que se trataban en el libro. Aún asÃ, me parece que hay un universo entero desaprovechado para contar la historia de un planeta. Ya sé que hay más libros para ampliar ese universo pero parece que este es el más decente de todos ellos asà que lo dejaré aquÃ.
