The classic science fiction novel of a future dark age and humanity''s new renaissance
It is a new dark age of fear and ignorance.
An atomic Flame Deluge has ravaged the earth, and humanity''s survivors have turned against science.
In the depths of a hellish desert, the Order of St Leibowitz preserves the few remnants of mankind''s knowledge. Then a humble monk makes a miraculous discovery of several artefacts - including a note written by blessed St Leibowitz himself, which reads:
Pound pastrami
can kraut
six bagels
- bring home for Emma
Could this holiest of relics hold the key to humanity''s salvation?
A Canticle For Leibowitz is a sharp, satirical examination of humanity that is chilling, provocative and endlessly imaginative - an undisputed science fiction classic.
