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.

Una relectura como si hubiera sido la primera

5 stelle

Me he dado cuenta que la primera lectura de este libro, durante la ida y vuelta en transporte público al trabajo, no he retenido casi ninguna información de este libro. Así que esta lectura, más calmada, me ha hecho disfrutarla mucho.

Herbert no describe mucho sobre los mundos, palacios, indumentaria o personajes. Unas pinceladas y a volar tu imaginación, es una novela política, de poderes tanto a nivel personal como global, y una buena cantidad de facciones con diferentes intereses. Unas civilizaciones y religiones que te dan ganas de querer saber más sobre ellas. Cuando el manejo de ese trasfondo genera ese interés me engancha.

Los personajes principales son desiguales, los protagonistas creo que tienen una buena evolución, y fuertes puntos de inflexión para culiminar en situaciones inevitables. Sin embargo, hay otros secundarios importantes que tienen un buen potencial inicial pero no parece que supiera darle el autor un cierre …

Review of 'Dune' on 'Goodreads'

Već neko vrijeme sam razmišljala da se uhvatim u koštac sa nekom knjigom naučne fantastike, jer sam ih uvjek zaobilazila. Čitanje ove knjige je za mene predstavljalo lični izazov i jako mi je drago što sam istrajala i pročitala je do kraja.
Sa najavom za izlazak nove filmske adaptacije, ja kao i dosta ljudi se upoznajemo sa dijelom za koje se smatra jednim od pionira moderne naučne fantastike. Pri daljem interesovanju saznajem i za druge adaptacije, kao na primer za onu neslavnu Dejvida Lynch-a i Alehandra Hodorovskog i to me još više tjera da se upustim u ovaj svijet, te naknadno odgledam njihove interpretacije ove knjige.
Kao neko ko nije nikada prije čitao ovaj žanr, trebalo mi je dosta vremena da uđem u čitav svijet u koji autor naglo gura čitaoca. Univerzum je sastavljen od velikog broja koncepata i termina inspirisanim jezicima našeg srednjeg istoka, jer se veliki dio radnje …

Review of 'Dune' on 'Goodreads'

This was my second time reading this book, and you know, I think I liked it a little better this time. I was able to catch and appreciate some details early on that were important later, and I had a better understanding of what to expect, so some of the more confusing passages were easier to comprehend.

There's definitely some weirder stuff in this book, and I'm not sure I understood everything. Generally speaking, whenever Paul went into a trance and started seeing the future, I got a wee bit lost.

Probably my favorite thing about this book is the world that it's set in; very little context is given (until the delightfully detailed appendixes), but it's glaringly obvious that all of the casually mentioned events from the far past were well thought out and shaped how the world ended up.

I was also extremely impressed by the thinking through …
