Miller, Jr. (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc. Hugo Award Winner, Best Novel, 1961 Winner of the 1961 Hugo Award for Best Novel and widely considered one of the most accomplished, forceful, and enduring classics of modern speculative fiction, Walter M. Miller’s A Canticle for Leibowitz is a true landmark of 20th-century literature – a chilling and still-provocative look at a post-apocalyptic future.  In a nightmarish, ruined world, slowly awakening to the light after sleeping in shadowedness, the infantile rediscoveries of science are secretly nourished by cloistered monks dedicated to the study and preservation of the relics and writings of the blessed Saint Isaac Leibowitz. From there, the story spans centuries of ignorance, violence, and barbarism, viewing through a sharp, satirical eye the relentless progression of a human race damned by its inherent humanness to recelebrate its grand foibles and repeat its grievous mistakes.  Seriously funny, striking, tragic, eternally fresh, imaginative, and altogether remarkable, A Canticle for Leibowitz retains its ability to enthrall and amaze. It is now, as it always has been, a masterpiece. ©1959 Walter M.
