Laddar... Dune, 40th Anniversary Edition (Dune Chronicles, Book 1) (urspr publ 1965; utgåvan 2005)▾LibraryThing-rekommendationer  25 10JonTheTerrible: The pace of these books are similar as well as the topics they cover: society and government. The science plays only a small role in both books but is present enough to successfully build the worlds in which the characters inhabit. 50 The Faded Sun Trilogy av C. J. Cherryh (reading_fox)reading_fox: Same basic sort of premise - SciFi set on desert worlds inspires the rise of a galactic empire, but very different outcomes! 73 Lord Valentine's Castle av Robert Silverberg (corporate_clone)corporate_clone: Both books are a subtle blend of science fiction and fantasy while being truly epic stories. Although Dune remains a superior literary achievement in my view, Silverberg's Majipoor series is a credible alternative. 73 Stjärnporten av Frederik Pohl (Vonini)63 Hyperion av Dan Simmons (corporate_clone)corporate_clone: It is difficult not to compare Dune and Hyperion, even though both series have major differences in terms of tone, style and philosophy. Those are two long, epic, elaborate and very ambitious sci-fi masterpieces where religion plays a key role. I would highly recommend the fans of one to check out the other.… (mer) 31 Grass av Sheri S. Tepper (MyriadBooks)MyriadBooks: For the description of the planet. 20 Bright of the Sky av Kay Kenyon (amysisson)amysisson: Different in tone, but similar in scope, plus it's also about the lengths to which empires will go to maintain the status quo. 10 The Broken God av David Zindell (whiten06)whiten06: Another coming-of-age story with the protagonist gaining god-like knowledge through the use of hallucinogens. 10 Beowulf's Children av Larry Niven (ed.pendragon)ed.pendragon: Similar approach to exploring ecology of a fictional planet while adding to the mix of myth-inspired human interaction. 21 The Lazarus Effect av Frank Herbert (d_perlo)d_perlo: So you have read Frank Herbert's Dune series and want more? Thy The Lazarus Effect, The Jesus Incident, and The Ascension Factor, also by Frank Herbert. This is his take on a water world. 11 Eye of the world av Robert Jordan (LaPhenix)LaPhenix: Another messiah story drawing inspiration from similar sources. 22 National Lampoon's Doon av Ellis Weiner (one-horse.library)22 Mistborn: The Final Empire av Brandon Sanderson (wvlibrarydude)wvlibrarydude: Substance gives power to individual. Lots of political intrigue with interesting characters. 33 Singularity Sky av Charles Stross (hyper7)hyper7: Singularity Sky could have been set in the Dune universe. 00 The Snow Queen av Joan D. Vinge (sandstone78)sandstone78: Similar tropes in the form of human computers and a native species capable of granting youth, and the powerful woman trying to breed a special child- The Snow Queen seems on one level a response to Dune, taking many of the same elements and twisting them around, while going in quite different directions in other ways.… (mer) 24 Moby Dick eller Den vita valen av Herman Melville (LamontCranston)LamontCranston: I once heard Harlan Ellison talking about how some works are unadaptable into film and he cited Dune and Moby-Dick
And thinking about it, both works use their story telling as platforms for ruminations on well everything about life 715 Iliaden av Homer (benmartin79)benmartin79: Dune stands in a long tradition of epic stories. The Iliad is not the oldest recorded epic, but is perhaps the most widely read of all.

| Citat |
Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera för att anpassa den för den svenska sidan. I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic. Let us not rail about justice as long as we have arms and the freedom to use them. The thing the ecologically illiterate don't realize about an ecosystem is that it's a system. A system! A system maintains a certain fluid stability that can be destroyed by a misstep in just one niche. A system has order, a flowing from point to point. If something dams the flow, order collapses. The untrained miss the collapse until too late. That's why the highest function of ecology is the understanding of consequences. The willow submits to the wind and prospers until one day it is many willows — a wall against the wind. This is the willow's purpose. Muad'Dib is wise in the ways of the desert. Muad'Dib creates his own water. Muad'Dib hides from the sun and travels in the cool night. Muad'Dib is fruitful and multiplies over the land. Muad'Dib we call 'instructor-of-boys.' That is a powerful base on which to build your life, Paul-Muad'Dib, who is Usul among us. "It's said that the Fremen scum drink the blood of their dead." Fear is the mind-killer. | |

This Hugo and Nebula Award winner tells the sweeping tale of a desert planet called Arrakis, the focus of an intricate power struggle in a byzantine interstellar empire. Arrakis is the sole source of Melange, the "spice of spices." Melange is necessary for interstellar travel and grants psychic powers and longevity, so whoever controls it wields great influence. The troubles begin when stewardship of Arrakis is transferred by the Emperor from the Harkonnen Noble House to House Atreides. The Harkonnens don't want to give up their privilege, though, and through sabotage and treachery they cast young Duke Paul Atreides out into the planet's harsh environment to die. There he falls in with the Fremen, a tribe of desert dwellers who become the basis of the army with which he will reclaim what's rightfully his. Paul Atreides, though, is far more than just a usurped duke. He might be the end product of a very long-term genetic experiment designed to breed a super human; he might be a messiah. His struggle is at the center of a nexus of powerful people and events, and the repercussions will be felt throughout the Imperium. Dune is one of the most famous science fiction novels ever written, and deservedly so. The setting is elaborate and ornate, the plot labyrinthine, the adventures exciting. Five sequels follow. --Brooks Peck (hämtat från Amazon Thu, 03 Jan 2013 00:23:16 -0500) (se alla 10 beskrivningar) ▾Beskrivningar från bibliotek Follows the adventures of Paul Atreides, the son of a betrayed duke given up for dead on a treacherous desert planet and adopted by its fierce, nomadic people, who help him unravel his most unexpected destiny.
