Omschrijving
They set out along the blacktop in the gunmetal light, shuffling through the ash, each the other's world entire.
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 landscape is destroyed, nothing moves save the ash on the wind and cruel, lawless men stalk the roadside. 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.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Road is the story of a remarkable and profoundly moving journey. In his unflinching style, Cormac McCarthy boldly divines a future without hope, but one in which this young family finds tenderness. An exemplar of post-apocalyptic writing, The Road is a true modern classic: a masterful, moving and increasingly prescient novel.
'A work of such terrible beauty that you will struggle to look away' The Times
'One of the greatest American writers alive' TLS
