«The Road» is the post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Cormac McCarthy, published by Non Basic Stock Line in paperback (307 pages, in English).
A father and his son walk alone through a devastated America, amid ash and a cold that cracks the stones. They head to the coast without knowing what awaits them; they carry a gun, the clothes they wear, a cart with scarce food and the bond that sustains them. It is a story of survival, paternal love and the struggle to preserve humanity.
The novel received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2007 and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 2006.
For readers of science fiction and dystopias who appreciate a literary, intimate narrative focused on human bonds.
Cormac McCarthy was an American author who wrote twelve novels, two plays, five screenplays, and three short stories, spanning the Western, post-apocalyptic, and Southern Gothic genres.

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American novelists.
