Summary
Dune és considerada una de les millors obres de ciència-ficció de tots els temps。 En un futur indefinit， l’imperialisme i el feudalisme que governen el sistema estan a punt de ser escenari d’uns esdeveniments que canviaran el curs de la història。 Paul Atreides és l’hereu d’una casa noble immers de sobte en una aventura interplanetària que el portarà a enfrontar-se a les forces més poderoses del món per tal de defensar allò que estima。 Acompanyat del jove protagonista， Frank Herbert crea un incomparable univers que li serveix per reflexionar sobre l’ecologisme， la política， el poder， el misticisme， la tecnologia i les emocions humanes。 Dune va guanyar el Premi Hugo i el Premi Nebula de ciència ficció i ha estat adaptada a la gran pantalla per David Lynch el 1984 i per Denis Villeneuve el 2021。

Non fa per me。 Troppo lento e non abbastanza coinvolgente da convincermi a arrivare alla fine。

Sono rimasta affascinata dal modo di scrivere di questo scrittore。 Questo punto di vista onnisciente， ma allo stesso tempo che ti fa scoprire i fatti pian piano mi ha tenuta letteralmente incollata。 Forse sarà un po' lento all'inizio， ma penso possa conquistare。Non vedo l'ora di leggere il seguito。 Sono rimasta affascinata dal modo di scrivere di questo scrittore。 Questo punto di vista onnisciente， ma allo stesso tempo che ti fa scoprire i fatti pian piano mi ha tenuta letteralmente incollata。 Forse sarà un po' lento all'inizio， ma penso possa conquistare。Non vedo l'ora di leggere il seguito。 。。。more

Super overrated in my opinion but a good sci fi

Couldn’t put the book down！ The story of Dune ties religion， capitalism， politics and a little magic & love together so nicely。 Herbert’s imagination and creativity is incredible。 Despite the time it was written， nothing within the story itself is dated。 No wonder this is one of the best sci-fi books of all time。

Starting off the year with a strange but satisfying read。 Been wanting to tick this off my TBR list for a while and I’m glad I did。 Haven’t read anything quite like it， and though it’s not perfect， I inhaled it anyway。There were moments when I was way in over my head but I just went with it， and the story wove itself into me。Unique， odd in parts， a masterclass overall。 One of those books that will divide readers， but conquered me。 A must read。

Conflictuado porque leí y leí porque me atrapó pero no sentí que se complicara mucho， es decir， hay personajes que creí que serían más desarrollados pero solo salen en capítulos muy específicos。 Creo que mi mente estuvo influenciada por haber visto la reciente adaptación de Dennis Villeneuve y ya entendí porqué se obsesionó con él （toca temas que él ya ha tocado en sus películas anteriores） y también entendí porqué Jodorowsky quiso adaptarla。 Por otro lado， ni para bien ni para mal pero creo que Conflictuado porque leí y leí porque me atrapó pero no sentí que se complicara mucho， es decir， hay personajes que creí que serían más desarrollados pero solo salen en capítulos muy específicos。 Creo que mi mente estuvo influenciada por haber visto la reciente adaptación de Dennis Villeneuve y ya entendí porqué se obsesionó con él （toca temas que él ya ha tocado en sus películas anteriores） y también entendí porqué Jodorowsky quiso adaptarla。 Por otro lado， ni para bien ni para mal pero creo que el cambio de Paul es muy marcado que no sentí grandes cambios después， todo era ya como tenía que ser， que muchas cosas las logra porque sí y no sé porqué pero me imaginé demasiada inexpresividad， igual seguramente influenciado por la película。Mi error fue pensar en un Game of Thrones en el espacio。Aunque sí me gustaron los giros， el misticismo y dejar entrever las posibilidades y sobretodo Alia， creo que es mi personaje favorito， el ritual del Agua de la Vida podría ser uno de los mejores que he leído por qué fue frenético。 。。。more

Easy to see why it's a classic。 Easy to see the problems people have with it。 Found myself confused a lot， but you gotta sacrifice yourself to the vibes of it and just let it wash over you。 Easy to see why it's a classic。 Easy to see the problems people have with it。 Found myself confused a lot， but you gotta sacrifice yourself to the vibes of it and just let it wash over you。 。。。more

It's been ages since I read pure sci fi or adventure， and this is such a refreshing change。 I really respect the complete and extensive "world" this fiction created， allowing me to immerse in it。 The beginning was really confusing since half the terms weren't explained， but as it went on， I loved that all the pieces， people， and schemes came together。 This truly got me hooked with its exciting， unpredictable plot， its factor of mystery， and its unexplained， mythical powers。 It's been ages since I read pure sci fi or adventure， and this is such a refreshing change。 I really respect the complete and extensive "world" this fiction created， allowing me to immerse in it。 The beginning was really confusing since half the terms weren't explained， but as it went on， I loved that all the pieces， people， and schemes came together。 This truly got me hooked with its exciting， unpredictable plot， its factor of mystery， and its unexplained， mythical powers。 。。。more

So many people had me anticipating this book would be a slog of details and too much action （which is not generally my cup of tea）， but I couldn’t put it down。 Easy to see why this has served as a model for so much that followed。 Among the many deftly constructed elements of the universe， I particularly enjoyed the religious elements and how they culminated in the events of the story。 Eager to get into the next book in the series。

The three part science fiction novel， Dune by Frank Herbert details the life of the Atreides family， specifically Paul， son of the duke of Atreides and a powerful Bene Gesserit mother。 In the World of Dune， society is divided into factions of different groups， all of which have varying levels of power。 The Atreides family have been called to relocate their lives to a planet called Arrakis。 Arrakis creates a kind of drug called spice and said the drug can lead to great amounts of wealth to whoeve The three part science fiction novel， Dune by Frank Herbert details the life of the Atreides family， specifically Paul， son of the duke of Atreides and a powerful Bene Gesserit mother。 In the World of Dune， society is divided into factions of different groups， all of which have varying levels of power。 The Atreides family have been called to relocate their lives to a planet called Arrakis。 Arrakis creates a kind of drug called spice and said the drug can lead to great amounts of wealth to whoever controls it。 So， Paul and his family have to uproot their lives and move to the desert planet Arrakis and hopefully control the spice and the native people。 As the Duke deals with water distribution， respecting customs， and economic issues， Paul receives combat and Bene Gesserit training while toying with the notion that he is the so-called “chosen one” that everyone is expecting him to be。The first part of Dune is a deeply complex story that requires a great deal of commitment to the story。 Personally， I found it hard to get through。 Now， with that being said， I did watch the movie first， and I liked the movie so much that I wanted to get into the books， so there is a possibility that I didn’t enjoy the first part because I had a lot of it spoiled。 However， I started reading the book with the desire of a deeper understanding of the story， and to get more details than the movie could not provide。 The details that I found though， I thought were boring and hard to understand。 I really like the idea of the son of two powerful people being the “chosen one” （can you tell I really like Harry Potter？） but there weren’t many developments in Paul’s story to becoming the person that he is supposed to be。 The story focused more on politics and Paul’s father， the Duke。 Now， if you're interested in futuristic governments and feuds， I would highly recommend this book。 However， if you want more of a story， I don’t know if this book is for you。 I definitely think that there is more to the story and that there is a lot that will be unpacked in the future， but it didn’t quite match what I was looking for when I started reading and I’m not committed enough to continue。 。。。more
