Frank Herbert’s classic masterpiece—a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.
La mayor epopeya de todos los tiempos, en nueva edición con la traducción corregida en 2019. En el desértico planeta Arrakis, el agua es el bien más preciado y llorar a los muertos, el símbolo de máxima prodigalidad. Pero algo hace de Arrakis una pieza estratégica para los intereses del Emperador, las Grandes Casas y la Cofradía, los tres grandes poderes de la galaxia. Arrakis es el único origen conocido de la melange, preciosa especia y uno de los bienes más codiciados del universo. Al duque Leto Atreides se le asigna el gobierno de este mundo inhóspito, habitado por los indómitos Fremen y monstruosos gusanos de arena de centenares de metros de longitud. Sin embargo, cuando la familia es traicionada, su hijo y heredero, Paul, emprenderá un viaje hacia un destino más grande del que jamás hubiese podido soñar. Mezcla fascinante de aventura, misticismo, intrigas políticas y ecologismo, Dune se convirtió,desde el momento de su publicación, en un fenómeno de culto y en la mayor epopeya de ciencia-ficción de todos los tiempos. La crítica ha dicho... «No conozco nada comparable, excepto El Señor de los Anillos.» Arthur C. Clarke «Es muy probable que Dune sea más vigente a día de hoy que cuando fue salió a la luz.» The New Yorker «Un fenómeno impresionante.» The Washington Post «Uno de los monumentos de la ciencia-ficción moderna.» The Chicago Tribune

I still consider this to be the best book I've ever read. I love science fiction and this timeless story is incredibly powerful.

on the back of my copy and that's sick. Airplanes that flap their wings are pretty cool too I guess.
Gave up at 12%.
I was so excited for this after watching the movie, but it just isn't my thing in book form. I guess that's how it is sometimes.
Right after reading this, I would only have given it three, maybe even two-and-a-half stars. But if you let it sit a bit, the book actually grows better in your memory. Amazing story with fantastic ideas and compelling characters. I just didn't like the style much.
