This Hugo and Nebula Award winner tells the sweeping tale of a desert planet called Arrakis, the focus of an intricate power struggle in a byzantine interstellar empire. Arrakis is the sole source of Melange, the "spice of spices." Melange is necessary for interstellar travel and grants psychic powers and longevity, so whoever controls it wields great influence. The troubles begin when stewardship of Arrakis is transferred by the Emperor from the Harkonnen Noble House to House Atreides. The Harkonnens don't want to give up their privilege, though, and through sabotage and treachery they cast young Duke Paul Atreides out into the planet's harsh environment to die. There he falls in with the Fremen, a tribe of desert dwellers who become the basis of the army with which he will reclaim what's rightfully his. Paul Atreides, though, is far more than just a usurped duke. He might be the end product of a very long-term genetic experiment designed to breed a super human; he might be a messiah. His struggle is at the center of a nexus of powerful people and events, and the repercussions will be felt throughout the Imperium. Dune is one of the most famous science fiction novels ever written, and deservedly so. The setting is elaborate and ornate, the plot labyrinthine, the adventures exciting.

Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender's Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune: winner of the prestigious Hugo and Nebula awards, and widely considered one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written. Melange, or 'spice', is the most valuable - and rarest - element in the universe; a drug that does everything from increasing a person's life-span to making intersteller travel possible. And it can only be found on a single planet: the inhospitable desert world Arrakis. Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe. When the Emperor transfers stewardship of Arrakis from the noble House Harkonnen to House Atreides, the Harkonnens fight back, murdering Duke Leto Atreides. Paul, his son, and Lady Jessica, his concubine, flee into the desert. On the point of death, they are rescued by a band for Fremen, the native people of Arrakis, who control Arrakis' second great resource: the giant worms that burrow beneath the burning desert sands. In order to avenge his father and retake Arrakis from the Harkonnens, Paul must earn the trust of the Fremen and lead a tiny army against the innumerable forces aligned against them. And his journey will change the universe.

The greatest epic of all time, in audiobook format with the translation corrected in 2019. Dune will always be considered the great triumph of the imagination that made Frank Herbert one of the great visionaries of world literature. Today this great classic is back in the limelight because it will soon inspire a film and television series directed by Denis Villeneuve, the director of Arrival and Blade Runner 2049. It is time, then, to claim a mythical book in audiobook format. The story begins thousands of years in the future, in a great galactic empire divided into quasi-fiefdoms controlled by noble families. The key to control of the Empire lies on Arrakis, a desert planet also known as Dune. The protagonist of the story is the young Paul Atreides, heir to the duchy of the House of Atreides. His father, Leto Atreides, is suddenly ordered to move to Arrakis, and Paul must face, on the one hand, the emperor and, on the other, his old enemies, the House of Harkonnen. Dune, an admirable mix of adventure, mysticism and politics, won the first Nebula Prize (1965), the Hugo Prize (1966) and cemented one of the greatest sagas in science fiction. The critic has said: I do not know anything comparable, except The Lord of the Rings. Arthur C. Clarke

Dune is the best-selling science fiction novel ever published. Considered the greatest book of the genre, it won the Nebula and Hugo Awards. In addition to this phenomenal success, it earned Frank Herbert the distinction of setting a new standard in speculative fiction. Herbert creates an alien reality so startlingly real that the fictional world becomes as tangible as the listener's own. Paul, the young heir to the great House of Atreides, seeks to discover and fulfill his destiny in the desert world of Arrakis. When his father's household is betrayed, Paul and his mother find refuge among the native Fremen, a people whose existence revolves around tribal religion and harvesting a mind-altering spice. Using his superior intuitive powers, a legacy from his mother, Paul endeavors to avenge his father's death, and destroy those who exploit the people of Arrakis and their highly profitable spice.

Der Wüstenplanet

Herzog Leto Atreides erhält vom Imperator Arrakis zum Lehen, den Wüstenplaneten, eine schreckliche Welt, in der nur die Stärksten überleben können. Aber gleichzeitig ist Arrakis die wertvollste Welt der Galaxis, denn nur in ihren Dünenfeldern ist das Melange zu finden, eine Droge, die den Menschen die Gabe verleiht, in die Zukunft zu blicken. Als der Herzog Arrakis betritt, ist er so gut wie tot. Seine mächtigen Gegner haben längst alles vorbereitet, um die Familie Atreides auszurotten. Doch seinem Sohn gelingt es, in die Wüste zu entkommen und bei den Premen unterzutauchen. Er wird der Anführer, und sie nennen ihn Muad’dib. Er sammelt die Wüstenbeduinen um sich zu einem gnadenlosen Rachefeldzug.
