Dune: Frank Herbert Taschenbuch – 1. September 1990
Directed by Denis Villeneuve, screenplay by Denis Villeneuve and Jon Spaihts, based on the novel Dune by Frank Herbert • Starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Léa Seydoux, with Stellan Skarsgård, with Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem
Frank Herbert’s classic masterpiece—a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.
Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of Paul Atreides—who would become known as Muad'Dib—and of a great family's ambition to bring to fruition mankind'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.

Der mit den Hugo- und Nebula-Preisen ausgezeichnete Science-Fiction-Roman Der Wüstenplanet erzählt die komplexe Geschichte des Wüstenplaneten Arrakis, der im Mittelpunkt eines verstrickten Machtkampfes innnerhalb eines byzantinischen interstellaren Imperiums steht. Arrakis ist die einzige Quelle für Melange, das "Gewürz aller Gewürze". Melange ist für die Fortbewegung zwischen den Sternen nötig und verleiht außerdem übersinnliche Kräfte und langes Leben. Die Kontrolle über Melange ist also gleichbedeutend mit viel Macht.
Ärger gibt es, als der Imperator dem Geschlecht der Harkonnen die Verwaltung über Arrakis entzieht und sie dem der Atreides überträgt. Da die Harkonnen ihr Privileg nicht einfach aufgeben wollen, verbannen sie den jungen Herzog Paul Atreides in die Wüste und überlassen ihn seinem Schicksal. Dort trifft dieser auf die Fremen, einen Wüstenstamm, mit deren Hilfe er ein Heer aufbaut, um das zurückzuerlangen, was rechtlich ihm gehört. Paul Atreides ist allerdings weitaus mehr als nur ein entrechteter Herzog. Möglicherweise ist er das Endprodukt eines lange vorausgeplanten Genexperiments, das die Schaffung eines Menschen mit übernatürlichen Fähigkeiten anvisiert, möglicherweise ein Messias. Sein Kampf findet inmitten eines Netzes mächtiger Personen und einflußreicher Ereignisse statt, und die Auswirkungen dieses Kampfes lassen das gesamte Imperium erschüttern. Der Wüstenplanet ist einer der bekanntesten Science-Fiction-Romane, die je geschrieben wurden, und dies nicht ohne Grund. Der Schauplatz ist differenziert und kunstvoll, die Handlung gleicht einem Labyrinth und die Abenteuer sind aufregend. Es folgen fünf weitere Bände. --Brooks Peck

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.
Über den Autor und weitere Mitwirkende
In 1952, Herbert began publishing science fiction with “Looking for Something?” in Startling Stories. But his emergence as a writer of major stature did not occur until 1965, with the publication of Dune. Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune followed, completing the saga that the Chicago Tribune would call “one of the monuments of modern science fiction.” Herbert is also the author of some twenty other books, including The White Plague, The Dosadi Experiment, and Destination: Void. He died in 1986.

A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Muad'Dib, then, take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most special care that you locate Muad'Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place.
—from "Manual of Muad'Dib"by the Princess Irulan
In the week before their departure to Arrakis, when all the final scurrying about had reached a nearly unbearable frenzy, an old crone came to visit the mother of the boy, Paul.
It was a warm night at Castle Caladan, and the ancient pile of stone that had served the Atreides family as home for twenty-six generations bore that cooled-sweat feeling it acquired before a change in the weather.
The old woman was let in by the side door down the vaulted passage by Paul's room and she was allowed a moment to peer in at him where he lay in his bed.
By the half-light of a suspensor lamp, dimmed and hanging near the floor, the awakened boy could see a bulky female shape at his door, standing one step ahead of his mother. The old woman was a witch shadow—hair like matted spiderwebs, hooded 'round darkness of features, eyes like glittering jewels.
"Is he not small forhis age, Jessica?" the old woman asked. Her voice wheezed and twanged like an untuned baliset.
Paul's mother answered in her soft contralto: "The Atreides are known to start late getting their growth, Your Reverence."
"So I've heard, so I've heard," wheezed the old woman. "Yet he's already fifteen."
"Yes, Your Reverence."
"He's awake and listening to us," said the old woman. "Sly little rascal." She chuckled. "But royalty has need of slyness. And if he's really the Kwisatz Haderach ... well...."
Within the shadows of his bed, Paul held his eyes open to mere slits. Two bird-bright ovals—the eyes of the old woman—seemed to expand and glow as they stared into his.
"Sleep well, you sly little rascal," said the old woman. "Tomorrow you'll need all your faculties to meet my gom jabbar."
And she was gone, pushing his mother out, closing the door with a solid thump.
Paul lay awake wondering: What's a gom jabbar?
In all the upset during this time of change, the old woman was the strangest thing he had seen.
Your Reverence.
And the way she called his mother Jessica like a common serving wench instead of what she was—a Bene Gesserit Lady, a duke's concubine and mother of the ducal heir.
Is a gom jabbar something of Arrakis I must know before we go there? he wondered.
He mouthed her strange words: Gom jabbar ... Kwisatz Haderach.
There had been so many things to learn. Arrakis would be a place so different from Caladan that Paul's mind whirled with the new knowledge. Arrakis—Dune—Desert Planet.
Thufir Hawat, his father's Master of Assassins, had explained it: their mortal enemies, the Harkonnens, had been on Arrakis eighty years, holding the planet in quasi-fief under a CHOAM Company contract to mine the geriatric spice, melange. Now the Harkonnens were leaving to be replaced by the House of Atreides in fief-complete—an apparent victory for the Duke Leto. Yet, Hawat had said, this appearance contained the deadliest peril, for the Duke Leto was popular among the Great Houses of the Landsraad.
"A popular man arouses the jealousy of the powerful," Hawat had said.
Arrakis—Dune—Desert Planet.
Paul fell asleep to dream of an Arrakeen cavern, silent people all around him moving in the dim light of glowglobes. It was solemn there and like a cathedral as he listened to a faint sound—the drip-drip-drip of water. Even while he remained in the dream, Paul knew he would remember it upon awakening. He always remembered the dreams that were predictions.
The dream faded.
Paul awoke to feel himself in the warmth of his bed—thinking ... thinking. This world of Castle Caladan, without play or companions his own age, perhaps did not deserve sadness in farewell. Dr. Yueh, his teacher, had hinted that the faufreluches class system was not rigidly guarded on Arrakis. The planet sheltered people who lived at the desert edge without caid or bashar to command them: will-o'-the-sand people called Fremen, marked down on no census of the Imperial Regate.
Arrakis—Dune—Desert Planet.
Paul sensed his own tensions, decided to practice one of the mind-body lessons his mother had taught him. Three quick breaths triggered the responses: he fell into the floating awareness ... focusing the consciousness ... aortal dilation ... avoiding the unfocused mechanism of consciousness ... to be conscious by choice ... blood enriched and swift-flooding the overload regions ... one does not obtain food-safety-freedom by instinct alone ... animal consciousness does not extend beyond the given moment nor into the idea that its victims may become extinct ... the animal destroys and does not produce ... animal pleasures remain close to sensation levels and avoid the perceptual ... the human requires a background grid through which to see his universe ... focused consciousness by choice, this forms your grid ... bodily integrity follows nerve-blood flow according to the deepest awareness of cell needs ... all things/cells/beings are impermanent ... strive for flow-permanence within....
Over and over and over within Paul's floating awareness the lesson rolled.
When dawn touched Paul's window sill with yellow light, he sensed it through closed eyelids, opened them, hearing then the renewed bustle and hurry in the castle, seeing the familiar patterned beams of his bedroom ceiling.
The hall door opened and his mother peered in, hair like shaded bronze held with black ribbon at the crown, her oval face emotionless and green eyes staring solemnly.
"You're awake," she said. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yes."
He studied the tallness of her, saw the hint of tension in her shoulders as she chose clothing for him from the closet racks. Another might have missed the tension, but she had trained him in the Bene Gesserit Way—in the minutiae of observation. She turned, holding a semiformal jacket for him. It carried the red Atreides hawk crest above the breast pocket.
"Hurry and dress," she said. "Reverend Mother is waiting."
"I dreamed of her once," Paul said. "Who is she?"
"She was my teacher at the Bene Gesserit school. Now, she's the Emperor's Truthsayer. And Paul...." She hesitated. "You must tell her about your dreams."
"I will. Is she the reason we got Arrakis?"
"We did not get Arrakis." Jessica flicked dust from a pair of trousers, hung them with the jacket on the dressing stand beside his bed. "Don't keep Reverend Mother waiting."
Paul sat up, hugged...

Ich lese dieses Buch immer wieder gerne und jedes mal fallen mir neue Dinge in dem Buch auf, über die ich vorher noch nie nachgedacht hatte.
Es lohnt sich echt dieses Buch zu lesen, Dune ist im Bereich Science Fiction das was Herr der Ringe im Bereich Fantasy ist.
Über das physische Objekt des Buches selbst gibt es wenig zu bereichten, die Schriftgröße ist angemessen und das Buch ist gut verklebt, auch nach bestimmt 20x Lesen hat es keine Schäden davon getragen.
The book was exactly as was advertised.
If this summary sounds interesting to you, you should read this novel, written by Frank Herbert. I think it is very difficult to read in the beginning because the book is written from different perspectives. But once’s you get used to it, it will be very exciting and you want to keep on reading. Moreover, there are many different characters and lots of new vocabulary you have to look up in the back of the book to understand the storyline. Therefore there is a detailed appendix at the end of the book. If you are a huge science-fiction fan, my recommendation is “Dune”. It is a must-read.
The novel “Dune” by Frank Herbert is a well-written science fiction novel, centered around Paul Atreides who is entangled in a world of betrayal and conspiracy of noble houses in space. The story itself is very good, however, you have to get used to a lot of made-up terms from this world. The novel is well-paced, although it sometimes is a bit dragging. The style of writing is a bit vintage but you get used to it whilst reading the book. There is a suitable amount of characters who are all well-developed and have a certain established personality. All in all, you can say the novel is not for everyone but for those who like science fiction and indulging into new worlds, it could certainly become an obsession.
Once upon a time in our English lesson, we were forced to buy this book because the majority of our class made an interesting decision. The book itself is a very good deal because you get three “exciting” novels for the price of one. In this review, we’re only going to rate the first book because in school we should only fully read this one. It may sound harsh, but we didn’t read the other two because we found them boring. Just kidding….The book features a diverse choice of characters. The protagonists try to redeem their political influence and power. It’s all about a drug called “spice”, which is the most important resource in the universe and you can only find it on the desert planet “Dune”, also called “Arrakis”. All in all, the book is very well-written and Frank Herbert did a very good job. Conclusion: would only read it when forced/ 5 out of 7/ would recommend if bored.
Must read for science fiction fans
When we started 11th grade, we had to choose from several dystopian novels to read. We chose “Dune” because of the movie that is coming to theatres next year. All that time SOME OF US didn’t know that the book had been written 50 years ago. On the one hand, this wasn’t a problem at all due to it being a science fiction novel that is set in another universe, not referring to our world and time. On the other hand, it’s not always easy to understand because the author uses difficult language to describe this science fiction world. All in all, you can compare the book to Star Wars. It is written in an exciting style and you really can relate to the emotions of the characters.
