A father and his son walk alone through bu rned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the w ind. It is cold enough to crack stones\, and when the snow falls it is gra y. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast\, although they don't k now what\, if anything\, awaits them there. They have nothing\; just a pis tol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road\, t he clothes they are wearing\, a cart of scavenged food&mdash\;and each oth er. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagin es 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 ten acity\, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of tota l devastation. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. (Provided by the publisher)\n
