Dune - Frank Herbert

O knihe v slovenčine:

Tento román navždy zostane triumfom fantázie. Na púštnej planéte Arrakis sa odohráva príbeh chlapca Paula Atreida, ktorý sa stane záhadnou postavou známou ako Muad'Dib. Pomstí zradcovský plán proti svojej vznešenej rodine a naplní najstarší a najnedostupnejší sen ľudstva.

Úchvatné spojenie dobrodružstva a mysticizmu, environmentálnych tém a politiky prinieslo Dune ocenenie Nebula Award za najlepší román a spolu s cenou Hugo Award sa stala základom toho, čo je nepochybne najväčším eposom sci-fi literatúry.  

O knihe v angličtine:

Here is the novel that will be forever considered a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family--and would 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 for Best Novel, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what it undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.
