デューン/砂の惑星 デューン Dune DUNE デューン砂の惑星
A 1965 science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert. It won the Hugo Award in 1966, and the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel. Dune is frequently cited as the world's best-selling [[science fiction]] novel of all time.

Set thousands of years into the far future, amidst a sprawling feudal interstellar empire where planetary fiefdoms are controlled by noble houses that owe an allegiance to the Imperial House Corrino, Dune tells the story of young [[Paul Atreides]] (the heir apparent to Duke [[Leto Atreides]] and the heir of House Atreides) as he and his family accept control of the [[desert]] [[planet]] [[Dune (planet)|Arrakis]], the only source of the "spice" melange, the most important and valuable substance in the universe. The story explores the complex and multi-layered interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion, as the forces of the Empire confront each other for control of Arrakis and its "spice".

Herbert wrote five sequels to the novel Dune: [i]Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune,[/i] and [i]Chapterhouse: Dune[/i]. The first novel has been adapted into a 1984 film by David Lynch, a 2000 Sci-Fi Channel miniseries [i]Frank Herbert's Dune[/i] and its 2003 sequel [i]Frank Herbert's Children of Dune[/i], and a 2021/2024 two-part film by Denis Villeneuve, as well as computer games, a board game, and songs. The franchise has also been continued beyond Herbert's death in 1986, with a series of prequels, interquels, and sequels that were co-written by Kevin J. Anderson and the author's son, Brian Herbert, starting in 1999.
