The Road (Broché)

In a burned-out country, a father and his young son head slowly for the coast, with 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, lying in wait. Attempting to survive in this brave new world, the young boy and his protector have no choice but to keep walking. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Road is the story of a remarkable and profoundly moving journey, and an exemplar of post-apocalyptic writing.
