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.
"From the Trade Paperback edition.

Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 10643 BCE), Roman lawyer, orator,
politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other
Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise,
dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic.
In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we
see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part
he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches,
delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were
political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them
incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian
humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters
of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by
others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more
striking because most were not written for publication. Six
rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical
works include seven extant major compositions and a number of
others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as
translations from the Greek.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine
volumes.
