Post-apocalyptic odyssey of survival and love.

The Road isn’t just another dystopian story; it’s McCarthy’s artfully stark narrative that strips the world to its core elements of desperation and affection. As you walk alongside the father and son through this desolate landscape, you'll find the raw, emotional journey gripping. You might read it for the harrowing survival tale, but you'll remember it for the profound portrayal of their bond. It's a book that could change the way you see the world, and linger with you much after the last page.

Description

The searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son’s fight to survive. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, “each the other’s world entire,” are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.
