內容簡介

Dune《沙丘》Frank Herbert

 

★ 2023年《沙丘第二部》電影封面版,內容為《沙丘》首部曲全集

 

榮獲星雲獎和雨果獎的經典科幻小說《沙丘》系列首部曲

【異星荒漠的宇宙戰爭】

 

香料「美琅脂」是一種能延長人類壽命,且強化人類精神的神祕物質,在這個宇宙,誰握有香料的控制權,誰就能稱霸宇宙!

 

在前一場混亂的星際戰爭後,各星系的封建貴族們都向皇室柯瑞諾家族效忠,並尊帕迪沙皇帝為宇宙的唯一皇帝。旗下的勒托‧雅崔迪公爵和他的家族被派遣至阿拉基斯星,一個唯一有產出「美琅脂」的星球,這立即引起哈肯尼家族的不滿。哈肯尼家族的領袖,佛拉迪米爾‧哈肯尼男爵利用親近勒托公爵的醫生,藉故設計公爵,並將之殺害。雅崔迪公爵的繼承人保羅‧雅崔迪發誓要為父親的死復仇,但同時又必須面對星球上原住民—佛瑞曼部落的抗爭,佛瑞曼人久居於沙漠裡,且能夠和恐怖的沙蟲共同生活,保羅和他的具有奇異能力的母親潔西卡夫人,與妹妹阿麗亞即將面對一場家族間的混戰...

 

《沙丘》系列描述三大家族雅崔迪、哈肯尼和柯瑞諾間的權力消長,在香料爭奪戰和各種權力鬥爭間,無論是主角或反派,都因為各自不同的立場和理由必須努力生存下去,雅崔迪家族的故事延續三代,讓《沙丘》系列的故事主軸完整且前後有序,加上獨具特色的角色設定和世界觀,讓《沙丘》成為當時代中最傑出且超群的科幻小說,Frank Herbert一生默默無聞卻創作不輟,終於成就一代科幻大師。

 

Frank Herbert’s classic masterpiece—a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.

Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of Paul Atreides−who would become known as Maud'Dib—and of a great family's ambition 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.

作者介紹
Frank Herbert is the bestselling author of the Dune saga. He was born in Tacoma, Washington, and educated at the University of Washington, Seattle. He worked a wide variety of jobs—including TV cameraman, radio commentator, oyster diver, jungle survival instructor, lay analyst, creative writing teacher, reporter and editor of several West Coast newspapers—before becoming a full-time writer.

In 1952, Herbert began publishing science fiction with “Looking for Something?” in 
Startling Stories. But his emergence as a writer of major stature did not occur until 1965, with the publication of DuneDune MessiahChildren of DuneGod Emperor of DuneHeretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune followed, completing the saga that the Chicago Tribune would call “one of the monuments of modern science fiction.” Herbert is also the author of some twenty other books, including The White PlagueThe Dosadi Experiment, and Destination: Void. He died in 1986.
