Em um futuro muito distante, toda a humanidade est? confinada a uma ?nica cidade, totalmente fechada. Ningu?m pode sair da cidade, que funciona como o ?ltimo reduto da ra?a humana. Todas as necessidades humanas s?o atendidas por um sofisticado sistema de computadores e a vida ? virtualmente eterna. Os seres humanos, ap?s uma exist?ncia muito prolongada, s?o armazenados em bancos de mem?ria dos computadores para depois ressucitarem, evitando o t?dio da vida eterna. Mas nem todos se conformam com esta situa??o: um jovem quer saber o que h? l? fora. Esse inconformismo d? origem a uma das mais belas hist?rias da fic??o cient?fica e certamente trata-se de uma obra-prima de Arthur C. Clarke.

Az Imp?rium t?zezer ?ves b?k?j?t vesz?ly fenyegeti. A lakott plan?t?k ezreit ?sszefog?, feud?lis birodalom egym?snak fesz?l? er?i — a cs?sz?r, a rivaliz?l? Nagy H?zak ?s az ?rliga — mind egy kietlen sivatagbolyg? k?r? gy?lnek, hogy eld?nts?k, ki birtokolja az ?ri?si homokf?rgek ?s puszt?t? viharok ?ltal uralt vil?got. Ez ugyanis az egyetlen hely az univerzumban, ahol megtal?lhat? az ?rutaz?shoz elengedhetetlen, tudatt?g?t? hat?s? f?szer, a melanzs. A h?b?rbirtok?rt meg?tk?z? seregek csat?j?ban fel?lkereked? h?z gy?zelme azonban nem lehet teljes, mert a m?ly sivatagban felbukkan egy pr?f?ta, aki m?g?tt felsorakoznak az eddig lakatlannak hitt ter?let n?p?nek fanatikus l?gi?i… Frank Herbert klasszikus reg?nye n?gy ?vtized alatt sem vesz?tett n?pszer?s?g?b?l. Jelen kiad?s egy ?j novell?val gazdagodott, melyet Herbert irodalmi ?r?k?sei tettek hozz? A D?ne t?rt?net?hez.
