Dune made Frank Herbert famous all over the world and, having overtaken even The Lord of the Rings in the ratings, won prestigious literary awards: The Man Booker Prize and the Nebula Award for Best Novel, the SFinks Book of the Year Award, and multiple recognitions from Locus magazine in the Best Novel of All Time category. This cult saga is about the eternal struggle and thirst for victory, about the price of justice and the choice of path.

Melange, or spice, is the most valuable and rare substance in the universe that can do everything from prolong life to facilitate interstellar travel. And it can only be found on one planet - the inhospitable desert Arrakis. The one who rules Arrakis controls the spices. And whoever controls the spices controls the universe. When the Emperor deprives the Harkonnen clan of the title of ruling and gives this title to the Atrides, the Harkonnens kill Duke Leto Atrid. His son Paul and his concubine Jessica flee to the desert. To avenge his father and reclaim the planet from the Harkonnens, Paul must gain the trust of the Freemen, the indigenous inhabitants of Arrakis, and lead a tiny army against the enemy's countless forces.
