  |Character Information|

 

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.

本书讲述了一次极其感人的旅程。灰暗的天空夹杂着毛絮般的灰烬,世界上所有动植物都已灭绝,饥饿不仅仅是一种普遍现象,而且近乎是所有人都这样;游晃在世间的食人者,齿缝间还残留着人肉。作者恰如其分地用文字的方式描述了这样一个核战后的世界。一个忧郁的男人和他年幼的儿子一起艰难地穿越一个被大火烧毁的地方。除了一把手枪、身上的衣服和一些食物他们一无所有。他们不知道一路上会有什么样的艰险……

About Author 

Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island on July 20, 1933. He went to the University of Tennessee in 1951. Two years later, he joined the U.S. Air Force and served four years. He returned to the university in 1957 and began to publish articles and novels. All the Pretty Horses, which was published in 1992 became a publishing sensation, and became a New York Times bestseller. It finally gave McCarthy the wide readership that had eluded him for many years.
