A post-apocalyptic classic set in a burned-out America, a father and his young
son walk under a darkened sky, heading slowly for the coast. They have no idea
what, if anything, awaits them there. The Road is a masterpiece of American
fiction from Cormac McCarthy. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction The
landscape is destroyed. Nothing moves save the ash on the wind. Cruel, lawless
men stalk the roadside, lying in wait. Attempting to survive in this brave new
world, the young boy and his protector have nothing but a pistol to defend
themselves. They must keep walking. In this unflinching study of the best and
worst of humankind, Cormac McCarthy boldly divines a future without hope, but
one in which, miraculously, this young family may yet find tenderness.
