A Canticle for Leibowitz Author:Walter M. Miller, Jr. When the sizzling atomic rain had stopped the world was back where it had started. One great tradition remained, however, salvaged from the ruins of a dead culture. The tradition that stated, "Don't rock the ark."
Fascinating, futuristic novel depicting the rebirth of humanity and society after the earth's devastation. The Library Journal calls it "exciting, imaginative," and "unconditionally recommended."
Good book about the continuation and protection of knowledge in a post-apocalyptic world.Leibowitz is an engineer that died in a nuclear holocaust and is up for sainthood from a medieval-like abbey of a Catholic church.
