Hardcover, Near Mint Condition
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.
Cormac McCarthy's haunting masterpiece follows a father and son through a post-apocalyptic American landscape, their bond tested by desolation and moral ambiguity. This first edition captures the novel's sparse, unflinching prose—a meditation on love, survival, and what it means to remain human when civilization has collapsed. Essential reading for those drawn to literary fiction that challenges and endures.
