弗兰克•赫伯特以精细入微的笔法创造了一个与地球截然不同的世界。行星阿拉吉斯。既是英勇豪迈、心计深沉的亚崔迪家族的领地，是阴鸷冷酷、顽强剽悍的弗瑞曼人的故乡，也是庞大无匹、可以吞噬一切的沙虫的巢穴。它所出产的，更是整个人类宇宙梦寐以求的珍宝——香料。

以这颗行星为舞台，上演着英勇和怯懦、高尚和卑鄙、忠诚和背叛的大剧，它的一举一动。都牵动着整个人类宇宙。

人们常常用另一个名字称呼这颗干旱的星球——沙丘。

在这部规模宏大、情节曲折的宇宙史诗的序曲中，亚崔迪家族陷入了绝境，少年保罗的父亲莱托•亚崔迪公爵被银河皇帝转封到了字宙中惟一出产香料的星球一一“沙丘”星。世人皆知，这是亚崔迪家族的死敌哈肯尼男爵的诡计，他要在这里将亚崔迪家族赶尽杀绝。

但是，如果少年保罗能够证明自己是神秘的比•吉斯特姐妹会培育出来的可以同时存在于不同时空的超人，是沙丘星上的土著弗瑞曼人传说中的带领他们赢得自由的“天外纶音”，亚崔迪家族就还有一线生机……

本书一经面世，便受到空前好评，先后荣获了星云奖和雨果奖的**长篇奖，更被读者评为“有史以来最富想像力的作品”。

Winner of the AIGA + Design Observer 50 Books | 50 Covers competition

Science fiction’s supreme masterpiece, Dune will be forever considered a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, it is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who will become the mysterious man known as Muad’Dib. Paul’s noble family is named stewards of Arrakis, whose sands are the only source of a powerful drug called “the spice.” After his family is brought down in a traitorous plot, Paul must go undercover to seek revenge, and to bring to fruition humankind’s most ancient and unattainable dream. A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.
