Sinossi
Arrakis è il pianeta più inospitale della galassia. Una landa di sabbia e rocce popolata da mostri striscianti e sferzata da tempeste devastanti. Ma sulla sua superficie cresce il melange, la sostanza che dà agli uomini la facoltà di aprire i propri orizzonti mentali, conoscere il futuro, acquisire le capacità per manovrare le immense astronavi che garantiscono gli scambi tra i mondi e la sopravvivenza stessa dell'Impero. Sul saggio Duca Leto, della famiglia Atreides, ricade la scelta dell'Imperatore per la successione ai crudeli Harkonnen al governo dell'ambito pianeta. È la fine dei fragili equilibri di potere su cui si reggeva l'ordine dell'Impero, l'inizio di uno scontro cosmico tra forze straordinarie, popoli magici e misteriosi, intelligenze sconosciute e insondabili.

In my head, the purpose of this review is very clear. It is to convince YOU to read this book. Yes, you! Waste time no more. Go grab a copy. Machiavellian intrigue, mythology, religion, politics, imperialism, environmentalism, the nature of power. All this set in a mind-boggling, frighteningly origin Leggi tutto
Let me start by first apologizing to everyone who loves this classic. I don't doubt Dune was something special when it first came out in the 1960s. But reading it for the first time today, it feels horribly outdated to me and at times almost incomprehensible. I was warned going into this story that t Leggi tutto
There's a characteristically witty essay by Borges about a man who rewrites Don Quixote , many centuries after Cervantes. He publishes a novel with the same title, containing the same words in the same order. But, as Borges shows you, the different cultural context means it's a completely new book! W Leggi tutto
No one should argue the importance Dune . It laid the foundations for a great deal of the themes and constructs in modern science fiction. Frank Herbert was as important to the genre as Isaac Asimov and Arthur Clarke. Unfortunately, just like them, he's quite dated, and his books can be a labor to re Leggi tutto

Nope. Sorry I don't get it. I was able to finish it by listening to the audiobook but I was bored throughout the whole 21h. So many descriptions... anyone else found the way Paul's mom describing him kinda weird? And let's not even mention how many times I laughed at the main female character being cal Leggi tutto
While the cultural impact of this book is indisputable, I couldn't help feeling incredibly underwhelmed when reading it. Even the plot couldn't save Dune, since it's spoiled at every juncture by 'Princess Irulan' and her epigraphs before each chapter. Did no-one tell her about spoiler alerts? From th Leggi tutto
