The Art and Soul of Dune

Product Information

Showcasing Villeneuve’s visionary approach, The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Two is an essential companion to the director’s latest masterpiece. Starting with forewords, we move on to what we see on Caladan (so the scenery, castle designs, casting for the Atreides family and staff, Heighliners, even filmbooks and glowglobes are talked about), we do the same for Giedi Prime, Salusa Secundus, and finally Arrakis taking up the meat of the book. In the decades since its publication, Frank Herbert’s Dune has become arguably the best-selling and certainly the best-known science fiction novel ever written.

His first science-fiction story, ‘Looking for Something’, was published in the pulp-science-fiction magazine Startling Stories (1952), and his first novel, The Dragon in the Sea (1956) was serialised soon afterwards. Frank Herbert’s science fiction classic Dune will be seen like never before in the breathtaking film adaptation from acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049, Arrival). The resulting article gained Lynch’s favour and in the Spring of 1983, Godwin found himself hired by Universal Studios to help document the production of Dune in Mexico. Insight Editions' award-winning art and photography titles celebrate the artistry and history of a wide range of subjects, from rock to film to nature conservation.

Beginning on Arrakis and going planet by planet, The Worlds of Dune offers a supremely deep dive into Herbert's universe – detailing along the way the many diverse strands that he wove into his epic creation to offer a visually rich accompaniment to this sci-fi legend. Dune tells the unforgettable story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable desert planet, and his journey to a mythic destiny that will bring to fruition humankind’s most ancient and unattainable dream. Exciting full-color pop-up panoramas with sturdy paper characters to punch-out will let youngsters reenact the most thrilling scenes. Like David Lean’s film Lawrence of Arabia – the modern work of art Dune most resembles – Herbert’s novel exhibits epic sweep while remaining, at heart, the intensely moving story of a young man caught up in a myth.

But by the early ‘80s Universal Pictures was prepared to give Lynch the keys to the kingdom – and the highest budget in the studio’s history at the time – so that he could lend his surrealistic chops to this sprawling story of feuding space dynasties.The Dune Storybook will allow readers of all ages to enter the surreal, fantastic world of Frank Herbert's Dune. Slightly more compact, with an exquisite slipcase featuring the sand worm mural, the book itself is beautifully produced. Showcasing Villeneuve’s visionary approach to realizing Herbert’s science fiction classic, The Art and Making of Dune is an essential companion to the director’s latest masterpiece. Charmed Life arrives in an explosion of magic in this edition illustrated by Alison Bryant and introduced by Katherine Rundell.

His illustrations for Dune were painted in oil on board, with the black-and-white chapter headings in ink and charcoal on paper.
