A father and son, no name, no nothing that is not the indissoluble bond that unites them. There is nothing else: there is no longer the world, history, time, civilization, there are no more cities, homes, families, there is not even the sky – forever darkened, leaden “as the beginning of some cold glaucoma obfuscates the world. ” There is only the path along which to push their few possessions – a few blankets, a little canned food remains – rusted inside the cart in a supermarket. They move south towards the sea, from the heartland to the Gulf of Mexico, in search of hope for a little ‘heat and light.

Further out to sea, on the shoals created by the oil, a tanker ran aground.”
In new novel by Cormac McCarthy, The Road , an unspecified planetary disaster – possibly a nuclear war or a meteor hurled from the sky – has put an end to life on earth, all life, animal or plant, has been wiped out, the few survivors have no longer anything human, and through this vast wasteland in search of food as the walking dead. It does not matter if the “food” is another human being: cannibalism is just one of many horrors that the imagination unleashed McCarthy offers us, as there was no abyss, but only new words to decline an endless catalog of suffering. The disaster revealed the skeleton – how to survive an explosion if only the white and fleshless bones – of society, if not of nature, according to McCarthy, a brutal fight to overwhelm each other, in which human beings are sharply divided between executioners and victims, between cannibals and prey.
been ten years since that disaster, father and son managed to survive until now, but will not withstand another winter. The novel is the tale of the sad and desperate journey to the sea, the difficulties and the meetings that happen to them along the way, only occasionally punctuated by memories and dreams of man (especially on his wife – the mother of the child – who decides to kill himself rather than suffer further this hell).
