You were done with that exhausting day, but then your mom picked you up and told you: “We’re going home, take a shower, and tonight, you’ll feel brand new.” That exhaustion and lack of energy were what I felt at the end of the year, and I believe life is trying to show me that, after a warm shower of healthy habits and mental occupation, I can feel brand new again.

Dune is one of the richest science fiction novels, and that's because the themes that include the fictional universe, which is already complex, are well worked on and explored in a critical way. Dune was written by Frank Herbert, released in 1965. It had a peculiar beginning, eventually being published by a company that published manuals related to work tools, but shortly after its debut, it won an award.
