Overview
Frank Herbert's epic masterpiece--a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time. This deluxe hardcover edition of Dune includes: - An iconic new cover - A stamped and foiled case featuring a quote from the Litany Against Fear - Stained edges and fully illustrated endpapers - A beautifully designed poster on the interior of the jacket - A redesigned world map of Dune - An updated Introduction by Brian Herbert Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the
"spice" melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness. Coveted across the known universe, melange is a prize worth killing for... When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul's family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined. And as he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib, he will 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.
Frank Herbert
Frank Herbert is best known for his seminal work, Dune, a cornerstone of science fiction literature. He explored complex themes such as ecology, religion, and politics across this and other works. Herbert's work on Dune earned him the prestigious Nebula Award and Hugo Award, making it one of the most influential sci-fi series ever written. His narrative style interweaves intricate plots with deep philosophical questions, setting a high standard in the genre.
Born Franklin Patrick Herbert Jr. on October 8, 1920, in Tacoma, Washington, Herbert had a dynamic career that also included journalism, photography, and ecology. His interest in the environment and its complex interrelationships is evident in the rich, ecological tapestry of the world of Dune. Beyond writing, Herbert enjoyed activities like fishing and teaching, often reflecting his passion for both nature and education in his personal life.
