Road

Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" is post-apocalypse of the highest order.

Post-apocalypse on our planet. Ruins and darkness everywhere. Not a single bird, not a single animal, only gangs of cannibals driven wild by hunger. Against the backdrop of dead landscapes, two barely noticeable figures - a father and a son - wander across the devastated land. Ahead of them awaits a dangerous road into the unknown, around them - a world of dead hope, despair and fear, and within them there is still a smoldering love...

Like no other, Cormac McCarthy managed to show the terrible hell of the apocalypse that can await us. This book is read with a lump in the throat and awe-inspiring. "The Road" is an example of a ruthless novel about the journey of a father and son in a destroyed world, which gives firm hope for the best even in the most hopeless conditions of existence.

One of the best works of American literature of the 21st century, awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2007. To this day, "The Road" remains firmly on the world's bestseller lists, and its author has become known as an outstanding writer of our time.
