Description:

EDITORIAL REVIEW: In celebration of the publication of the sequel *Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman* comes this special edition of the classic *A Canticle for Leibowitz,* a novel that transcends genre to stand as one of the most significant literary works of our time. In the Utah desert, Brother Francis of the Albertian Order of Leibowitz has made a miraculous discovery: the relics of the martyr Isaac Leibowitz himself, including the blessed blueprint and the sacred shopping list. They may provide a bright ray of hope in a terrifying age of darkness, a time of ignorance and genetic monsters that are the unholy aftermath of the Flame Deluge. But as the spellbinding mystery at the core of this extraordinary novel unfolds, it is the search itself--for meaning, for truth, for love--that offers hope to a humanity teetering on the edge of an abyss. A timeless and still timely masterpiece, *A Canticle for Leibowitz* is a classic that ranks with *Brave New World* and *1984.*
