Dune: The inspiration for the blockbuster film: DUNE

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2021

Publicat inițial în limba engleză, Dune reprezintă un monument al literaturii universale care reușește, prin traducerea viziunii lui Frank Herbert în concepte universale, să nu piardă nimic din profunzimea sa filozofică, ci să câștige relevanță culturală cu fiecare deceniu. Remarcăm o construcție de lume fără precedent, unde tehnologia nu este doar un decor, ci un sistem organic legat de ecologia planetei Arrakis. Apreciem în mod deosebit modul în care autorul elimină inteligența artificială convențională pentru a face loc 'Mirodeniei' — o substanță care permite navigația stelară și extinde conștiința umană, transformând biologia în motorul imperiului.

Pe același raft cu The Great Dune Trilogy de Frank Herbert, acest prim volum se distinge prin concentrarea asupra transformării interioare a lui Paul Atreides dintr-un moștenitor politic într-un lider spiritual. În contextul operei sale, care include continuări precum Dune Messiah și Children Of Dune, acest roman stabilește pilonii tematici pe care Herbert i-a explorat constant: fragilitatea sistemelor ecologice și pericolele figurilor mesianice. Dacă în alte lucrări precum DUNE: The Graphic Novel, Book 3: The Prophet accentul cade pe latura vizuală, textul original rămâne o experiență densă, unde ritmul este dictat de intrigile politice de curte și de supraviețuirea aspră în deșert. Credem că forța cărții rezidă în capacitatea de a îmbina o saga de familie cu o dezbatere profundă despre destin și liber arbitru.

Firru . a dat nota:

No other single syllable means as much to the science fiction genre, a single word that conjures images of sandworms, spice wars, great battles between rival dynastic families and a massively detailed and intricately crafted universe. No wonder this is widely regarded as not just a Science Fiction masterpiece, but a literary achievement as well. Like a study of Shakespeare, the reader finds that this is an archetype upon which many influences and imitators have based their works. The complexity and depth of the creation is staggering and I am continually astounded at the discipline with which Herbert must have focused his imagination. This is the book upon which Herbert would base his greatest series and one that would outlive him as his son has continued to expand and add detail to the vast, immaculate tapestry woven by a true master of the genre. Encapsulating political, economic, sociological, biological, cultural and dynastic themes, Frank Herbert has set a high standard for later practitioners. Brilliant.

Descriere

'An astonishing science fiction phenomenon' WASHINGTON POST'I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings' Arthur C Clarke'It is possible that Dune is even more relevant now than when it was first published' NEW YORKERThe Duke of Atreides has been manoeuvred by his arch-enemy, Baron Harkonnen, into administering the desert planet of Dune. Although it is almost completely without water, Dune is a planet of fabulous wealth, for it is the only source of a drug prized throughout the Galactic Empire. The Duke and his son, Paul, are expecting treachery, and it duly comes - but from a shockingly unexpected place.

Then Paul succeeds his father, and he becomes a catalyst for the native people of Dune, whose knowledge of the ecology of the planet gives them vast power. They have been waiting for a leader like Paul Atreides, a leader who can harness that force ... DUNE: one of the most brilliant science fiction novels ever written, as engrossing and heart-rending today as it was when it was first published half a century ago.

Notă biografică

Frank Herbert (1920-86) was born in Tacoma, Washington and worked as a reporter and later editor of a number of West Coast newspapers before becoming a full-time writer. His first SF story was published in 1952 but he achieved fame more than ten years later with the publication in Analog of 'Dune World' and 'The Prophet of Dune' that were amalgamated in the novel Dune in 1965.

Descriere scurtă

What The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, Dune is to science fiction. Presenting one of the most influential works of all time, which has inspired countless other stories for more than half a century, this is an awe-inspiring world, and a story of truly epic scope.

Paul Atreides, son of Duke Leto Atreides, and all of his family have been sent to the planet Arrakis, having been outmanoeuvred by their arch-enemy Baron Harkonnen.

Arrakis - also known as Dune - is an arid place, but a planet of fabulous wealth, the only source of a drug prized throughout the Galactic Empire: Spice.

What will happen next will change everything. There are secrets on Dune, known only to the planet's native people, the Fremen. They have been waiting for their moment to make their move.

Paul will be brought into the path by terrible events beyond his control. But Paul himself is important. He is the child of destiny, a child of prophecy, and within him is the power to bring the Empire to its knees.

Winner of the NEBULA AWARD for best novel, 1965

Read the book which inspired the Academy Award-winning and jaw-dropping cinematic events Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024). A science fiction spectacular like no other, this is a deeply climate conscious novel, and a compelling family saga for the ages.


Textul de pe ultima copertă

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, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.
