ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Dune, by Frank Herbert, tells the story of Paul Atreides, whose family is sent to the desert planet Arrakis, a planet that is the only source of the valuable spice melange. This sets off a chain of events involving political intrigue, religious prophecy, and ecological challenges. The narrative explores the clash between noble houses, the influence of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, and the culture of the Fremen, who inhabit the desert. The story delves into themes of power, destiny, and how these forces interact with religion and the environment.
