Fank Hebet's Dune Saga 3-Book Deluxe Hardcover – Import, 4 April 2023

THOUGH THE BOOK IS GOOD, WITH ALL THE THREE PARTS. BUT ITS IS MY PERSONAL VIEW THAT BOOKS SHOULD BE IN SEPRATE INDIVIDUAL VOLUME. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO READ THE BOOK WHEN ITS HEAVY AND BIG. BUT STILL GIVING IT 5 STARS.

Amazing book! The cover is nice and pages are pretty cool. I'll start reading soon.I loved the way they adjusted three massive books in a 900 paged collection. This was done by decreasing the text size, and using bigger pages. Thus the first book, which is 800 pages long, was adjusted in 400. This is an amazing feature, although it'll take the same time to read. But please, if you wear glasses to read, then don't buy the whole trilogy as the text is small. The book is not that thick, and you can easily open it. I think it is amazing, and quality is pretty cool.Only one complain, there are a few flaws in the cover. But they are small, so not noticeable. But still quite annoying. But the book is great

The book is sturdy. But the paper quality is very thin and the letters on the other side bleed through a bit. Line spacing is also lower than expected. Did not expect such a thick volume - this causes inconvenience as I need to refer to the glossary at the end of the novel.But the price point is great for 3 volumes in a single book.

The packaging was good, the box set was delivered without damage, the box is beautiful, the individual books is magnificent, deadly

Book condition: Package and the overall book quality was good. Page quality could've been better (not bad) but at this price and consider that this is a triology, it is understandable.As far as the book is concerned, it is one of a kind. Dune has a compelling character, plot. It is a story of a young boy - Paul and his journey in a 'spice' rich planet called Arrakis - Dune. The author has build the dune universe in such a way that and as I read, I could see the planet through the pages, the journey of each characters. A must have for any sci-fi/fantasy book readers.About to start Dune Messiah.

The media could not be loaded.  I have not read it yet but I needed this book for a long time and now I finally laid my hands on this beauty. Not only it was delivered with proper packaging and care, the deal was outstanding 👏. Pages are pure white but a lil thin which is not at all a big issue for me. Getting the hardcover version of it at such a remarkable price, I'm totally STUNNED 🤯.100% Recommend, bought from The Bargain Books.

Pros- Good packaged- no scratches nor mishandlingCons (nothing about the product)- for the readers, just heavy to read lifting it in your hand but it’s assumed for a 910 pages book.

This is a review purely for quality of the book and not about the content of Dune. The book quality overall is 4 out of 5. In the first picture you can see the text printed on back side of page is visible. In the second picture you can see the hologram is tampered (I have covered the book with plastic that’s why the picture of hologram looks dull, without cover it’s not like that). Still a good purchase in my opinion.

The Dune series is a great read. 👍

My rating is for the whole series; while I think that each book is progressively a little weaker, I still think that the saga as a whole is too compelling and unique to merit anything less than five stars.DUNE: Maybe it's the freshness in my mind of the recent (and outstanding) film adaptation; maybe it's just that I'm many (many) years older; maybe it's the way that fantasy has evolved since it was published (and in response to it). But whatever the case, even though I remembered Frank Herbert's Dune being a dense, difficult read, that turned out not to be the case as I revisited the world of Arrakis after a good thirty years. Indeed, you can see some of Herbert's pulpier edges here and there - some florid plotting, some big dramatic characters - all grounding the massive scope of the book and Herbert's quite frankly astonishing imagination in things that we can latch on to and understand. There's little need to revisit the plot here, especially thanks to Villeneuve's adaptations (which only impressed me more after this re-read, as I could see the ways in which he changed the source material to make it work as a film while never betraying its spirit); what I will say is that I was so much more acutely aware this time of the way that Herbert is viciously critiquing so much of the modern world - the exploitation of the middle east, the use of religion as a way to gain power, the scheming of those in control to keep the profits for themselves - and just how deeply cynical the book is. Even if you don't have knowledge of where the series goes from here, it's evident that Paul is never intended to be a wholly noble hero; indeed, no one in Dune comes out looking particularly good, with the compromises needed to keep power and the willingness to sacrifice others being so key to the methods of "winning" here that they're undeniable. The other thing you forget, though, is how willing Dune was to just be wonderfully weird, especially in the second half of the story, and it's where the book really shines; without that, you'd have a powerful but a little stiff exploration of power and exploitation of native populations, but with it, you get this fascinating science fiction epic that feels still pretty sui generis after all this time, even though it's impossible to read it and not think "oh, there is so much sci-fi and fantasy that wouldn't exist without this.'' It's got its flaws - some clunky dialogue, a few iffy pieces of characterization - but generally, they're minor and pale in the face of just what Herbert is going for - and what he largely accomplished.DUNE MESSIAH: When I revisited Dune, I found the book more accessible and less complex than I remembered, and I wondered how much of that I could simply chalk up to age (and the familiarity that came from the film). But now that I've read Dune Messiah? Oh, there's the complexity, weirdness, and density. In less than half the length of the original novel, Herbert delivers a truly subversive sequel that transforms the context and impact of its predecessor, giving us a book that turns Paul from a hero to a tyrant, turns a rebellion into a religious crusade, questions the nature of seeing the future, and so much more. And that doesn't even get into the oddness of the book itself, in which most of the major events happen off-page entirely, a conspiracy turns out to be about something wholly else than we think, a character returns from the dead in a bizarre way that only deepens the weirdness, and characters' actions can be maddeningly opaque. That all of this happens in such a lean volume is kind of fascinating; it's hard to think of another sequel that is this interested in completely revising the impact and meaning of its predecessor, changing the story from a heroic one to a tragic tale of the corruption of power. Dune Messiah isn't quite as solid as its predecessor, and part of that undeniably comes from the short length; there is a lot going on here, and Herbert's abbreviating of context and characters can lead to things being confusing even before we learn that most of the major events of the book happened between the volumes or even between the chapters. But it feels like a logical next step from the conclusion of Dune, and thematically/morally/emotionally, it's a fascinating way to keep the saga going in a way that reveals how little Herbert was really interested in the "white savior" archetype; instead, what he's given is a cautionary tale of the danger of such tropes, as well as a vicious allegory for the corruption of wealth, power, and control that rears its head in human nature - especially in a certain region of the world dense with oil - all done with an intent that transforms the previous book in compelling ways.CHILDREN OF DUNE: By the time I finished Dune Messiah, I was starting to remember just how complex and challenging Herbert’s series could be, but Children of Dune still feels like another step up in terms of difficulty and density, throwing us into a world of adults in 9-year-old bodies, warring prophecies, religious reform, tyranny and violence, and a whole lot more - but with a lot of things happening off screen still, a lot of characters hiding their motivations, a lot of ideas unexplained, and the plot beyond complex, with schemes within schemes within bluffs within feints. All of which could be manageable, if frustrating (I read and reread the Preacher’s messages multiple times, trying to parse their complex ideas, and still am not sure I followed it all), if Herbert had simply given us anyone to hang onto. With Dune, we had Paul, who was forced into dealing with his destiny and unspeakable choices, and while he was becoming harder and less approachable in Messiah, his regrets for what happened and efforts to ameliorate the damages still gave readers something to latch onto. But by the time we get to Children of Dune, there’s not a recognizably “human” character in our story, and the result is a book so full of ideas and philosophy that it forgets to give us anyone to like. The children are utterly alien and off-putting, Duncan is a walking computer, Alia is a monster, and Jessica…well, she’s still a Bene Gesserit, isn’t she? And all of that is before things start getting very weird towards the end, setting up the insanity of later books. But I think it’s here that I’m tapping out from my reread; I can admire the density of Herbert’s vision, and the nuance that he brings to all of the factions and power plays and groups, but ultimately Children of Dune feels like a book for mentats, not for people - it’s all ideas and cold machinations, with no humanity left for us to care about.

Los libros llegaron tal como se muestra en la caja. Tienen una decoración simple pero muy elegante con páginas delgadas pero resistentes y letra de buen tamaño. En sí, la novela de Dune es fantástica y muy accesible; así como emocionante porque narra la historia desde las perspectivas y mentes de cada personaje.

the book has a very nice finish and looks good in every book shelf. the story alone speaks for it self. one of the best books i ever read.

Is this version of the book reread by somebody before the publication ? Lot of typoSpoil the reading
