Frank Herbert’s classic masterpiece—a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.

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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert (1920-1986) nasceu em Tacoma, Washington, a 8 de outubro de 1920. Foi jornalista e escritor de ficção científica. Ganhou notoriedade pela sua obra Duna, assim como pelos cinco livros subsequentes da série. Como descrito pelo filho Brian Herbert em Dreamer of Dune, a sua aclamada biografia do pai, Frank Herbert desejava que os seus livros tivessem profundidade suficiente para justificar várias leituras, e por isso a saga trata de temas como a sobrevivência humana, a evolução da consciência, a ecologia e a interação entre religião, poder e política. Duna venceu o Prémio Nebula em 1965 e partilhou o Prémio Hugo no ano seguinte, sendo descrito por Arthur C. Clarke como uma obra apenas comparável a O Senhor dos Anéis.
