DESCRIPTION:

Walter M. Miller’s extraordinary saga of truth, mystery and divine madness

Isaac Edward Leibowitz was his name – a scientist who had managed to survive the Flame Deluge that destroyed civilization. But the human spirit does not die easily, and so even in the midst of devastation and chaos, Leibowitz found a purpose. He dedicated his life to the recovery and preservation of pre-deluge knowledge – right up until his martyrdom at the hands of a crazed, book-burning mob. . . .

The Roman Church, one of the few organizations to survive the thermonuclear holocaust, made Leibowitz a saint and established an abbey in his name to continue the task of preserving knowledge – or at least whatever fragments they could find, no matter how small or unintelligible they might be.

In the face of widespread ignorance, superstition and savage barbarian hordes, the faithful Monks of Saint Leibowitz cherished their scraps of truth, keeping alive a tradition of scholarship in a world that regarded mere literacy with deadly fear. For the Brothers were living witness to the belief that someday Man would rise from the ruins of his own making. A belief that sustained them for centuries.
