Hymn to Leibovitz

General Fiction

(u. S.) Walter M. Miller Jr.

190K03

After the radiation destroyed the world, the surviving humans hated wisdom and civilization extremely. They burned books, hunted down scholars, and proudly called themselves "idiots." At this time, a small group of ant-like monks risked their lives and secretly transported the surviving books to the Leibovitz Monastery in the desert. Since its establishment, it has not had a mission to preach, but only to protect the fire of human civilization. Just this time, will humans set themselves on fire again, or will there be light again in the wasteland?
