The skillful use of passages taken from books written by characters of the world itself to open each chapter is the way used by the author to expand the Dune universe beyond the actual story, together with a rich Appendix (of almost one hundred pages) in addition to the events narrated in the three parts into which the book is divided: Dune, Muad’Dib, and The Prophet. The story is epic, tragic (in the sense of Greek tragedy) and adventurous, and it filled me with curiosity at every moment, full as it is of unforgettable characters.īut more than anything else, the world Herbert created has completely captured my attention. I found the omniscient storytelling style very captivating, with each character’s thoughts being revealed (in italics) along with their dialogues and the descriptions of their actions. I literally devoured the 900 pages of Dune (of the edition you see in the photo above – and you can see that I went to the planet Dune this summer to read the book), I loved the universe created by Herbert! ![]() In view of the release of Denis Villeneuve’s film based on it, I finally decided to read it and I couldn’t have made a better decision. ![]() ![]() Dune is a book written by Frank Herbert originally published in 1965. ![]()
