The inspiration for the blockbuster film

Gateway

Indisponible
What The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, Dune is to science fiction.
Presenting one of the most influential works of all time, which has inspired
countless other stories for more than half a century, this is an awe-inspiring
world, and a story of truly epic scope.

'An astonishing science fiction phenomenon' WASHINGTON POST
'I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings' Arthur C Clarke
'It is possible that Dune is even more relevant now than when it was first
published' NEW YORKER

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.

Joint winner of the HUGO AWARD for best novel, 1966
Winner of the NEBULA AWARD for best novel, 1965

Read the book which inspired the Academy Award-winning and jaw-dropping
cinematic events Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024). A science
fiction spectacular like no other, this is a deeply climate conscious novel,
and a compelling family saga for the ages.
