Beskrivelse

A gripping post-apocalyptic tale, The Road follows a father and his young son as they journey through a devastated America toward an uncertain future. Their path is fraught with danger, surrounded by ash and ruthless survivors.

A powerful story of survival, love, and hope in a bleak, destroyed world.

Set in a burned-out America, this modern classic introduces us to a father and his son traveling beneath a darkened sky, slowly making their way to the coast. They have no clue what awaits them there, if anything at all. The landscape around them is ravaged and lifeless, with only ash swirling in the wind. Cruel, lawless men lurk along the roadside, ready to strike.

Armed with nothing but a pistol, the boy and his father struggle to survive in this harsh new world. Despite the bleakness, their journey is marked by moments of tenderness and connection.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Road is a deeply moving exploration of humanity’s darkest and brightest sides. Cormac McCarthy paints a future filled with despair, yet also filled with remarkable love between a father and his son.

This book stands as a shining example of post-apocalyptic literature and has become a true modern classic. This edition is part of the Picador Collection, celebrating the best of contemporary writing in honor of Picador's 50th Anniversary.
