Dune #1

€12.90

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.

Product description

Pirms Matricas, pirms Zvaigžņu kariem, pirms Endera spēles un Neiromancer bija Dune: prestižo Hugo un Nebula balvu ieguvējs un plaši uzskatīts par vienu no visu laiku lielākajiem zinātniskās fantastikas romāniem.

Melange, jeb 'spice', ir visvērtīgākais un retākais elements Visumā; zāles, kas dara visu, sākot no cilvēka dzīves ilguma palielināšanas līdz intersteleru ceļojumiem. Un to var atrast tikai uz vienas planētas: viesmīlīgajā tuksneša pasaulē Arrakis.

Tas, kurš pārvalda Arrakis, pārvalda garšvielas. Un tas, kurš pārvalda garšvielas, pārvalda Visumu.

Kad ķeizars pārceļ Arrakis pārvaldīšanu no dižciltīgās Harkonnen nama uz Atreides namu, Harkonnens cīnās, nogalinot hercogu Leto Atreidesu. Pols, viņa dēls, un lēdija Džesika, viņa blakussieva, bēg tuksnesī. Nāves brīdī viņus izglābj grupa Fremenam, Arrakis vietējiem iedzīvotājiem, kuri kontrolē Arrakis otro lielo resursu: milzu tārpus, kas rakās zem degošajām tuksneša smiltīm.

Lai atriebtos tēvam un atgūstot Arrakisu no Harkonnens, Pāvilam ir jānopelna fremenu uzticība un jāvada maza armija pret neskaitāmajiem spēkiem, kas pret viņiem nostājušies.

Un viņa ceļojums izmainīs Visumu.
