About this book
The searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which a father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. (back cover)
