{"product_id":"9783639132823","title":"Walter Miller's Canticle For Leibowitz","description":"Walter M. Miller, Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz is a timeless story about apocalyptic cycles, conflicts and similarities between religion and science,\u003cbr\u003ereligious ethics and secular ethics, sin and redemption, myth and preternatural innocence. \u003cbr\u003eCanticle is a very religious story about a monastery dedicated to preserving scientific knowledge from the time before nuclear war which devastated the world and reduced humanity to a pre-technological civilization. The Catholic Church and this monastery are portrayed as a bastion of civilization amidst barbarians and a light of faith amidst atheism. \u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, humanity destroys the Earth once again, but Miller ends with two beacons of hope: a starship headed for the unknown to help humanity begin again and the preternaturally innocent Rachel who portends a future for similarly innocent human beings repopulating the Earth. Thus, faith ultimately triumphs over atheism even in the midst of almost total catastrophe.","brand":"VDM Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48443569570032,"sku":"9783639132823","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783639132823_p0.jpg?v=1768408209","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783639132823","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
