Dune: Deluxe Edition Hardcover – 1 October 2019

It's a very wonderful story and book too one of my all time favourites It will take you to Paul's dune Frank Herbert world building is amazing

Book is good. pages are good can’t complain but the cover edges are crooked not much but it’s annoying and book has stains on bottom.

Gripping storyline with equal proportions of science and fantasy.The glossary of the terms used in the book and the interesting appendices also add to the reading experience.

Author: Frank HerbertGenre: Science FictionYear of Publication: 1965Set in the far distant future, DUNE is the story of a young boy named Paul Atreides and his journey into the desert planet of Arrakis. A barren wasteland but the only planet in the Universe with the most precious commodity known to existence, the Spice "Melange" (an addictive drug with life-enhancing properties and used for Interstellar travel).DUNE is not just a Science-fiction book. It has immensely profound and mature themes embedded under the riveting epic that it is. Themes along the likes of institutionalized Religion, Politics, Environmentalism, human greed and Spiritualism. Over the years, readers of the book have been able to discern the parallels drawn to various real-world belief systems including Buddhism, Sufi Mysticism, Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism and Judaism.Frank Herbert, the author of the book noted in an interview that his Arab friends liked to call DUNE a religious commentary rather than science-fiction. Also, the story is heavily influenced by middle-eastern culture with Spice being a metaphor for Oil and Water for water itself. And the exploitations of regional societies and resources by Western Civilizations.DUNE is more than a coming of age tale. It teaches you about loyalty and courage and most importantly, how to conquer your fears. It's about the dark side of fanatic leadership and how unbounded power can corrupt even the most faithful of leaders. Moreover, It teaches people to think for themselves and the fallacy of following messianic figures blindly.The language of DUNE is complex, taking inspiration from multiple tongues including Arabic, Persian, East Indian and Old English which could make it a hard read for some people. However, The world-building in DUNE is vivid and immaculate making the reader to get lost in that world and if a fiction book is able to pull that off, it's no less than a masterpiece to me.DUNE is an immensely rich work written by a prolific writer who went on to write multiple other Dune books creating an unparalleled saga of Science-fiction Epic. This is the work that changed the perception of people toward Sci-fi. It is a genre-defining gem that has way more to offer than one can possibly imagine.The deluxe edition looks super cool. The Cover art is really iconic. However, Amazon's packing service sucks.

Frank Herbert has a great writing style that keeps you engaged while also explaining the complicated concepts of world building. A must read for any sci-fi lover.

The book came without any packaging. Overall good.

Everything is the same as in the movie

The book is narrow which adds to the thickness of the book making it difficult to read.

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.

Ottimo acquisto, complimenti!

Version orginale en anglais

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.
