WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son’s fight to survive that “only adds to McCarthy’s stature as a living master. It’s gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful” (San Francisco Chronicle). One of The New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the Century A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. 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 the 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.

📚 Why We Recommend It

In a post-apocalyptic world choked by ash, where gray snow falls on cracked stones and lawless shadows lurk, The Road isn’t just a story of survival—it’s a raw, tender hymn to love. Cormac McCarthy strips away every comfort of civilization, leaving only a father and son, “each the other’s world entire,” clinging to each other as their last hope. His prose is spare yet searing, painting a landscape so vivid you can almost feel the cold, while the quiet courage of their bond cuts through the despair. A Pulitzer Prize winner and one of the NYT’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century, it doesn’t just ask “how to survive”—it asks “what makes survival worth it.” For anyone who craves stories that dig deep into the best of humanity, even in its darkest hours, this book will linger long after the final page.
