Ce roman culte de Frank Herbert a très bien vieilli, l'auteur n'utilisant pas trop de nouveautés technologiques et surtout ne les détaillant jamais vraiment. L'univers est très riche avec les différentes grandes maisons, la guilde spatiale, le Bene Gesserit, le CHOM, l'empereur. Les relations de pouvoir entre ces différentes entités sont assez complexes et définissent un parfait terrain de jeu pour les protagonistes de Dune. Protagonistes qui mériteraient pour certains plus de présence afin de développer leur psychologie. Néanmoins, ce roman est une œuvre phare de la science-fiction.

> Je poursuis ma découverte du Cycle de Dune avec les aventures annoncées par la prescience – mais pas moins tragiques – de l'Empereur Paul Atréides. Ses visions, aussi anxiogènes soient-elles, se réalisent bel et bien, mais Muad'Dib conserve tout de même une part de libre arbitre.
Encore une fois conquis.

Frank Herbert was born Franklin Patrick Herbert, Jr. in Tacoma, Washington on October 8, 1920. He worked originally as a journalist, but then turned to science fiction. His Dune series has had a major impact on that genre. Some critics assert that Herbert is responsible for bringing in a new branch of ecological science fiction. He had a personal show more interest in world ecology, and consulted with the governments of Vietnam and Pakistan about ecological issues. The length of some of Herbert's novels also helped make it acceptable for science fiction authors to write longer books. It is clear that, if the reader is engaged by the story---and Herbert certainly has the ability to engage his readers---length is not important. As is usually the case with popular fiction, it comes down to whether or not the reader is entertained, and Herbert is, above all, an entertaining and often compelling writer. His greatest talent is his ability to create new worlds that are plausible to readers, in spite of their alien nature, such as the planet Arrakis in the Dune series. Frank Herbert died of complications from pancreatic cancer on February, 11, 1986, in Madison, Wisconsin. He was 65. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

- If you are combining a translated copy please check carefully as in some languages this book was split into two volumes. In some languages there is a single volume edition and a split edition - you should only combine the sin... (show all)gle volume edition with the English edition. This present edition is a split of the original Dune novel, and should therefore not be combined with the latter.
