À propos de cet audio
Hugo Award Winner, Best Novel, 1961
Winner of the 1961 Hugo Award for Best Novel and widely considered one of the most accomplished, powerful, 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 darkness, 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, stunning, 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.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 99
In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

And the world he left behind might be next.

One of my favourites
I've read this book numerous times, but hadn't ever listened to it. Tom Weiner's performance really gave life to the Abbots of the Abbey of Leibowitz in a way that reading it hadn't. I didn't think I could enjoy this book any more, but listening to his performance just made it that much better. Such a wonderful book and such a cautionary tale for humanity! #Audible1

Vivid and Dynamic
While I first shied away from this title fearing it to be either too "simplistic" or too pessimistic in its take on the world, I was delightfully surprised by its depth. The writing itself is stylish and engaging; the characters are memorable and human. Likewise, the story portrays a plausible future of humanity that is rife with delightful comic relief.
The portrayal of Catholicism in this book is not imbued with an overly positive Catholic sentiment, but reveals all the same the heart of the Church for what it really is and how this is expressed in a world that is volatile. What we receive is a Church with all her zits, yet filled with mysterium and mission.

The narrator needs a medal, he really went all in with the character voices. Additionally, the story presented a very fascinating concept.

Brilliant
Well-written and completely engrossing. Beautiful creation of characters whose personalities make the perfect witness to the fallibility of human ambition. Enjoy the sickly satisfying critical eye of humanity’s self-involved, rash, and naive pursuit of so-called greatness.
