Premio Pulitzer 2007 Una demoledora fábula sobre el futuro del ser humano, destinada a convertirse en la obra maestra del autor. La carretera, novela galardonada con el premio Pulitzer 2007 y bestseller literario del año en Estados Unidos, transcurre en la inmensidad del territorio norteamericano, un paisaje literalmente quemado por lo que parece haber sido un reciente holocausto nuclear. En un mundo apocalÃptico donde llueve ceniza, un hombre y un chico cruzan a pie el territorio norteamericano en dirección al sur. El hambre es mucho más que una preocupación diaria: es la medida de todas las cosas, y las bandas de canÃbales asolan el paÃs convertido en un yermo donde solo la barbarie ha echado raÃces. El amor de un padre por su hijo es, sin embargo, la única luz de una tierra que ha perdido a sus dioses. Quizá el fuego de la civilización no se haya apagado para siempre. La crÃtica ha dicho... «La carretera añade matices sutiles a la visión posapocalÃptica que tiene McCarthy de la existencia humana. [...] en la radiografÃa que hace McCarthy del alma humana aquà hay un punto de fuga que se abre hacia la posibilidad del bien. --Eduardo Lago, Babelia «Javier MarÃas, preguntado por si él era candidato al Nobel, respondió que si alguien merecÃa ese galardón era Cormac McCarthy. --Enrique Murillo, El PaÃs «Junto a Salinger y Thomas Pynchon, Cormac McCarthy es el otro eremita de la narrativa norteamericana. No se deja ver, apenas fotografiar, nadie saber ahora mismo por dónde pisa. De los tres autores de culto, para mà es el más grande. --Robert Saladrigas, La Vanguardia «Esta novela está llamada a ser una de las grandes obras de la literatura universal. --Diego Gándara, La Razón ENGLISH DESCRIPTION WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE A 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).

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.
