Книга «The Road»

Winner of the pulitzer prize for fiction.

The first great masterpiece of the globally warmed generation. Here is an American classic which, at a stroke, makes McCarthy a contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Andrew O'Hagan - a father - and his young son walk alone through burned America, heading slowly for the coast. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. They have nothing but a pistol to defend themselves against the men who stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food and each other. McCarthy conjures from this pitiless flight the miracle of unswerving humanity.
