Details

A Canticle for Leibowitz is a post-apocalyptic science fiction classic that follows a Catholic monastic order over centuries as they preserve fragments of knowledge after a nuclear holocaust. Structured in three interlinked parts, the novel examines the rise and fall of civilizations and humanity’s enduring struggle between faith, science, and self-destruction.

Walter M. Miller Jr., a WWII veteran, won the Hugo Award for this novel, which blends speculative fiction with theological and philosophical inquiry. It remains a landmark in science fiction for its intellectual depth and moral seriousness.
