The Road
by Cormac McCarthy
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER Pulitzer Prize Winner
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. The Road is both the profoundly moving story of their journey and an unflinching meditation on the best and worst that humanity is capable of.
"Vivid, eloquent.... Consistently brilliant in its imagining of the posthumous condition of nature and civilization." --The New York Times Book Review
