A Canticle for Leibowitz
Book • 1959
Set in a world devastated by a nuclear apocalypse known as the 'Flame Deluge', the novel follows the monks of the Albertian Order of Leibowitz as they dedicate their lives to preserving scientific knowledge.
The book is divided into three parts, each set in a different time period, spanning over 2,000 years.
It delves into themes of Christian theology, the tension between religion and science, and the cyclical nature of human civilizations.
Miller's work is a stark warning about the consequences of military build-up and the importance of the marriage between science and faith.
