- DUNE: PART TWO - THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE NOW IN THEATERS
Directed by Denis Villeneuve, screenplay by Denis Villeneuve and Jon Spaihts, based on the novel Dune by Frank Herbert - Starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Léa Seydoux, with Stellan Skarsgård, with Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem

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 Muad'Dib--and of a great family's ambition to bring to fruition mankind'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.

Product description

Review

Praise for Dune

"I know nothing comparable to it except The Lord of the Rings."--Arthur C. Clarke

"It is possible that Dune is even more relevant now than when it was first published."--The New Yorker

"An astonishing science fiction phenomenon."--The Washington Post

"One of the monuments of modern science fiction."--Chicago Tribune

"Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious."--Robert A. Heinlein

"Herbert's creation of this universe, with its intricate development and analysis of ecology, religion, politics and philosophy, remains one of the supreme and seminal achievements in science fiction."--Louisville Times

From the Back Cover

Here is the novel that will be forever considered a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family -- and would 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.

Ace 2019 Hardcover is Superb
This is a review of the excellent 2019 mass-market hardcover from Ace. Unfortunately it is glued not smyth-sewn, but I knew that before purchase after doing research, which took a long time comparing all extant hardcovers in print. It would be great if Amazon included binding details in the book profile. That said, the pages open nicely, so the perfect binding is not overly tight. I bought this edition for the beautiful design and in person it really is impressive. The illustrations and text typesetting are gorgeous, and the page margins are spot-on. By the way, I saw that the Folio Society DUNE has huge page margins...a turn-off for me.Book Depository shipped the Ace DUNE to me without inside protection, but luckily it arrived undamaged. I am now looking forward to reading DUNE in 2020 for this first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A modern classic.
Reviewed in Australia on 9 March 2023

If there is any challenge to the Russian masters then it comes in either Les Miserables or Dune, in either Jean Val Jean or Paul Atreides. Because if there was ever two comparable fictional characters greater then I don't know of them. Dune is not just a book, it is a universe, in itself. The depth of character construction makes Dune stand out among it contemporaries. It takes awhile for the reader to warm to the world that Dune inhabits, but like the Fremen it grows on you. You sense, while reading Dune, the time in which it was written. The leftover ramifications from WWII, and the onging threat of the Cold War. But it is the story that carries you along, the interwoven character plots, the frictions, the machinations. Dune is such an enjoyable read because the true discerning reader approaches it with a reverence, of almost religious form. A treasure to be experience, rather than a book to be consumed.

5.0 out of 5 stars La entrega pudo ser mejor, pero el libro es excelente.
Reviewed in Mexico on 10 January 2022

El libro es de buena calidad, puede que la pasta sea algo delgada pero yo no la calificaría de deficiente. Sin embargo , la entrega lo ha maltratado un poco, tenía unos dobleces relativamente ligeros en la parte superior de la portada, y yo soy muy meticuloso en cuanto al estado de mis libros, así que ese aspecto no me agradó. En cuanto al libro, no hace falta decir que es un clásico, y el hecho de que sea toda la saga editada tan bien, le da mucho valor en mi opinión. El libro también tiene un poco de material extra, aparte de la novela en sí. Tales como un mapa, terminología, notas cartográficas, y notas sobre la ecología y religión en Dune. Ese aspecto me ha encantado, es algo que no esperaba ver y sinceramente me agradó mucho. Recomiendo el producto.

Reviewed in Germany on 22 March 2024

Riesige Welten und Intrigen. Das Buch fängt relativ anstrengend an da es viele Namen, Begriffe und Fraktionen gibt welche erst nach und nach eingeführt werden müssen. Wenn man aber bei der Stange bleibt wird man mit einer Welt belohnt welche den Begriff Epos verdient hat. Das Buch hat neben der reinen Sci-Fi Geschichte viele unterschwellige Themen und Ideen zu Themen wie Ökologie, Religion, Gesellschaft und Politik sowie einer Warnung vor charismatischen Führern und Erlöserfiguren. Auch heute sind das noch immer brisante Themen.
