A Canticle for Leibowitz by:Walter M. Miller, Jr<br />

A Canticle for Leibowitz is a post-apocalyptic science fiction<br />

novel by American writer Walter M. Miller, Jr., first published<br />

in 1960. Set in a Catholic monastery in the desert of<br />

the Southwestern United States after a devastating nuclear<br />

war, the story spans thousands of years as civilization rebuilds<br />

itself. The monks of the fictional Albertian Order of Leibowitz<br />

take up the mission of preserving the surviving remnants<br />

of man’s scientific knowledge until the day the outside world<br />

is again ready for it.<br />

A Canticle for Leibowitz is based on three short stories Miller<br />

contributed to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. It<br />

is the only novel published by the author during his lifetime.<br />

Considered one of the classics of science fiction, it has never<br />

been out of print and has seen over 25 reprints and editions.<br />

Appealing to mainstream and genre critics and readers alike,<br />

it won the 1961 Hugo Award for best science fiction novel.<br />

Walter Michael Miller, Jr. (January 23, 1923 – January 9,<br />
