Paul Atreides, son of Duke Leto Atreides, and all of his family have been sent to the planet Arrakis, having been outmanoeuvred by their arch-enemy Baron Harkonnen.
Arrakis – also known as Dune – is an arid place, but a planet of fabulous wealth, the only source of a drug prized throughout the Galactic Empire: Spice.
What will happen next will change everything. There are secrets on Dune, known only to the planet’s native people, the Fremen. They have been waiting for their moment to make their move.
Paul will be brought into the path by terrible events beyond his control. But Paul himself is important. He is the child of destiny, a child of prophecy, and within him is the power to bring the Empire to its knees.
A nice example of asabiyyah in action.
He leído el libro después de ver las películas. Sólo puedo decir que qué maravilla de adaptación. ¿Se puede dar el caso en que la lectura te lleve a valorar todavía más la adaptación a la pantalla? Se puede y este es uno de esos casos.
Boka startet litt treg og komplisert, men etter hvert som jeg kom inn i det ble jeg fanget av historien! Spennende kombinasjon av både kultur, religion og politikk. Nå må jeg videre til å lese Dune: Messiah!
