Dune. Herbert F.

Frank Herbert managed to write a lot, but in history he remained primarily as the author of the epic “Dune”. Perhaps the most famous fantastic saga of the twentieth century, a saga translated into dozens of languages ​​and won millions of fans around the world. The most authoritative magazine of science fiction “Locus” recognized “Dune”, the first novel of the epic about the sand planet, the best science fiction novel of all time and peoples. In the "Dune" Frank Herbert managed to make the impossible - to create a kind of "chronicle of the distant future." And in the whole history of the world science fiction, the picture of the coming more vivid, more visible, more powerful and original.

Sandy planet Arrakis, Dun, is the only source of "Spice" for the entire universe. Anyone who controls the “spice” controls the universe itself, because without it the interstellar flights themselves are inimitable. In recent decades, the Great House of Harkonnenov owned the rights to prey spices. However, recently, the Padishah-Ivddam IV, the ruler of the entire universe known to mankind, took the concession from the Harkonnen and handed it over to them the worst enemies-the house of the Atreides. Summer Atreides, a wise and fair head of the atreides, understands that the insidious Harconsnens will go to everything to regain the main source of income. But he does not suspect that all this venture is only part of the cunning plan to destroy the atradies house. I planned this plan not at all Harkonnen, and the trap is about to be ready to slam.
