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.

En l'an 2130... un "objet" pénètre dans le système solaire et aussitôt les ordinateurs répondent : un cylindre, longueur: 30 km, vitesse: 100 000 km/h... Il sera baptisé Rama. Le vaisseau spatial Endeavour part à sa rencontre, réussit à se poser dessus et pour le commandant Norton et ses hommes l'accès de Rama se révèle étonnamment facile. Un étonnement qui se change en stupeur, en effroi, quand ils pénètrent dans ses flancs : il y a là quatre mille km' à explorer, un monde de structures, d'escaliers vertigineux, de routes. Un monde de silence et de non-vie...

Histoire160
In 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse - mathematical genius and young Captain in the US Navy - is assigned to detachment 2702. It is an outfit so secret that only a handful of people know it exists, and some of those people have names like Churchill and Roosevelt. The mission of Watrehouse and Detachment 2702 - commanded by Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe - is to keep the Nazis ignorant of the fact that Allied Intelligence has cracked the enemy's fabled Enigma code. In the present, Waterhouse's crypto-hacker grandson, Randy, is attempting to create a "data haven" in Southeast Asia....

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.
Vivid and Dynamic
