Dune: a novel by Kn. 1 - 9786171276895

"Dune" made Frank Herbert famous all over the world and, surpassing even "The Lord of the Rings" in the ratings, won prestigious literary awards: the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award in the "Best Novel" category, the SFinks Award as "Book of the Year", repeated recognition from the magazine "Locus" in the category "Best novel of all time". This iconic saga is about the eternal struggle and thirst for victory, about the price of justice and choosing the path.

Melange, or spice, is the most valuable and rarest substance in the universe, capable of everything from prolonging life to facilitating interstellar travel. And it can be found only on one planet - the inhospitable desert Arrakis. Whoever rules Arrakis controls the spices. And whoever controls the spices controls the universe. When the Emperor strips the Harkonnen clan of the title of ruler and gives that title to the Atreides, the Harkonnens kill Duke Leto Atreides. His son Paul and concubine Jessica flee to the desert. To avenge his father and reclaim the planet from the Harkonnens, Paul must win the trust of the Fremen - the native inhabitants of Arrakis - and lead a tiny army against countless enemy forces.
