Synopsis "The Great Dune Trilogy: Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune: 1-3 (Gollancz S. F. )"

Three of the greatest SF novels in the world in one bumper omnibus'An astonishing science fiction phenomenon' WASHINGTON POSTHerbert's evocative, epic tales are set on the desert planet Arrakis, the focus for a complex political and military struggle with galaxy-wide repercussions.Arrakis is the source of spice, a mind-enhancing drug which makes interstellar travel possible; it is the most valuable substance in the galaxy. When Duke Atreides and his family take up court there, they fall into a trap set by the Duke's bitter rival, Baron Harkonnen. The Duke is poisoned, but his wife and her son Paul escape to the vast and arid deserts of Arrakis, which have given the planet its nickname of Dune.Paul and his mother join the Fremen, the Arrakis natives, who have learnt to live in this harsh and complex ecosystem. But learning to survive is not enough - Paul's destiny was mapped out long ago and his mother is committed to seeing it fulfilled.Read the series which inspired the 2021 Denis Villeneuve epic film adaptation, Dune, starring Oscar Isaac, Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Josh Brolin.

Frank Patrick Herbert nació en Tacoma, Washington (1920). Antes de comenzar a escribir ciencia ficción, tuvo varias profesiones, desde fotógrafo y cámara de televisión hasta pescador de ostras. En 1965 presenta la serie de libros Las crónicas de Dune, con gran éxito de la crítica y del público, donde describe un mundo imaginario con su propia política, ecología y estructura social. La primera obra de la saga, Dune, supuso un auténtico fenómeno literario y obtuvo los premios Nébula y Hugo, además del Premio Internacional de Fantasía, que compartió con El señor de las moscas de William Golding. Falleció el 11 de febrero de 1986. El resto de entregas de la saga son: El mesías de Dune, Hijos de Dune, Dios emperador de Dune, Herejes de Dune y Casa Capitular: Dune.
