Dune is a landmark science fiction novel set on the desert planet Arrakis — a world of sand, scarcity, and immense political power. As the only source of the precious spice “melange,” Arrakis becomes the center of a deadly struggle among noble houses, religious factions, and powerful corporations. When young Paul Atreides arrives with his family to govern the planet, he is drawn into a web of betrayal, prophecy, and survival that will shape his destiny and the fate of an entire galaxy. Rich in political intrigue, environmental insight, and philosophical depth, Dune explores humanity’s relationship with power, belief, and nature in a story that redefined the genre.
