Dune es la primera novela de la serie homónima «Dune» de Frank Herbert, una obra maestra unánimemente reconocida como la mejor saga de ciencia ficción de todos los tiempos. Arrakis: un planeta desért

La mayor epopeya de todos los tiempos, en nueva edición con la traducción corregida en 2019. Contiene 12 ilustraciones a color del artista Sam Weber. Dune será siempre considerada el gran triunfo de la imaginacion que convirtio a Frank Herbert en uno de los grandes visionarios de la literatura universal. Hoy este gran clasico vuelve a estar de actualidad porque pronto inspirara una pelicula y una serie de television dirigidas por Denis Villeneuve, el director de Arrival y Blade Runner 2049. Es hora, pues, de reivindicar un libro mitico con esta edicion para coleccionistas que reproduce las doce ilustraciones interiores, firmadas por el prestigioso ilustrador Sam Weber, de la aclamada edicion estadounidense, conmemorativa del cincuenta aniversario de Dune, de The Folio Society. La historia comienza a miles de años en el futuro, en un gran imperio galactico dividido en cuasi-feudos controlados por familias nobles. La clave para el control del Imperio se encuentra en Arrakis, un planeta desertico tambien conocido como Dune. El protagonista de la historia es el joven Paul Atreides, heredero del ducado de la Casa de los Atreides. Su padre, Leto Atreides, recibe de pronto la orden de trasladarse a Arrakis, y Paul debera enfrentarse, por un lado, al emperador y, por otro, a sus antiguos enemigos, la Casa de los Harkonnen. Dune, admirable mezcla de aventura, misticismo y politica, gano el primer Premio Nebula (1965), el Premio Hugo (1966) y cimento una de las sagas mas grandiosas de la ciencia ficcion.La critica ha dicho:No conozco nada comparable, excepto El Señor de los Anillos.Arthur C. Clarke

DUNE MESSIAH: the extraordinary sequel to Dune, the greatest science fiction novel of all time. Twelve years after his victory over House Harkonnen, Paul Atreides rules as emperor from the desert planet Arrakis - but his victory has had profound consequences. War has been brought to the entire known universe, and billions have already perished. Despite having become the most powerful emperor known to history, Paul is powerless to bring an end to the fighting. While former allies conspire to dethrone Paul and even his own consort acts against him, Paul accepts a gift from the Tleilaxu, a guild of genetic manipulators, hoping to find a single spark of peace and friendship amidst the betrayal and chaos. But this act undermines Paul's support from the Fremen, his own people. The Fremen are the true source of Paul's power; losing them is the one thing that could truly topple his empire. As matters escalate, Paul will be forced to chose between his throne, his wife, his people and his future - and the future of the entire universe. An epic novel of the cost of victory... and the price of war. Brilliant...it is all that Dune was, and maybe a little more. -- Galaxy Magazine

Mesías de Dune. Arrakis, también llamado Dune: un mundo desierto en pos del sueño de convertirse en un paraíso, cuna de mil guerras que se han extendido por todo el universo, y de un anhelo mesiánico que intenta alcanzar el sueño más antiguo de la humanidad… Paul Atreides: un personaje mítico, perturbado por la cercana presencia de una sombra dominante: su hermana Alia. Y frente a ellos, los grandes intereses económicos, políticos y religiosos que sacuden los espacios interestelares: la Choam, la Cofradía espacial, el Landsraad, la Bene Gesserit… Todo ello, y mucho más, conforma esta segunda entrega de Dune, un fresco impresionante y una obra cumbre de la imaginación.

Dune relata la historia del planeta desértico Arrakis, única fuente de melange, la especia necesaria para el viaje interestelar y que además garantiza longevidad y poderes psíquicos. La administración de Arrakis es transferida por el emperador de la noble Casa de Harkonnen a la Casa Atreides. Los primeros no quieren abandonar sus privilegios, y a traves de traiciones y sabotajes, destierran al joven duque Paul Atreides al duro entorno del planeta para que muera. Pero Paul podria resultar ser mucho mas que un duque al que han usurpado su puesto... Su lucha se encuentra en el epicentro de un nexo de poderosas personas e importantes sucesos, y las repercusiones se dejaran sentir a traves del Imperio.
