A Canticle for Leibowitz Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

Winner of the 1961 Hugo Prize for Best Book and widely considered perhaps one of the most accomplished, powerful, and enduring classics of contemporary speculative fiction, Walter M. Miller’s A Canticle for Leibowitz is definitely a true landmark of twentieth-century literature-a chilling and still-provocative take a look at a postapocalyptic potential.

Inside a nightmarish, ruined world, slowly awakening towards the light after sleeping in darkness, the infantile rediscoveries of technology are secretly nourished by cloistered monks focused on the analysis and preservation from the relics and writings of the blessed Saint Isaac Leibowitz. From here the story spans centuries of ignorance, assault, and barbarism, looking at through a sharp, satirical vision the relentless progression of a people damned by its natural humanness to recelebrate its grand foibles and do it again its grievous errors. Seriously funny, stunning, tragic, eternally clean, imaginative, and entirely extraordinary, A Canticle for Leibowitz retains its capability to enthrall and amaze. It is right now, as it often provides been, a masterpiece.
