The Road
(Pocket)
Beskrivning:
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged, nuclear landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is grey. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food - and each other. "The Road" is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, 'each other's world entire', are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.

Sugs direkt in i denna bok som är både gripande, smärtsam och jättespännande. Ända felet med boken var att den tog slut...
Rekommenderas!

Läs den! Cormac McCarthy's skildring av en vandring genom en värld i aska är något utöver det vanliga. Språket är märkligt lågmält och kraftfullt på samma gång... "By day, the banished Sun circles the Earth like a grieving mother with a lamp."
