Cormac McCarthy — a modern American classic of the highest caliber, recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship "For Genius", a master of complex experiences and unconventional syntax, well known to our readers for novels such as "No Country for Old Men",... "Blood Meridian", and the "Border Trilogy" ("The Crossing", "Cities of the Plain", "Sodom and Gomorrah"). But the loudest success awaited the master’s later novel: "The Road" won the Pulitzer Prize and conquered all conceivable bestseller lists. A film followed soon after, directed by Australian John Hillcoat ("The Proposition", "The Wettest County in the World"); the main roles were played by Charlize Theron and Viggo Mortensen, and the music for the film was written by Nick Cave. So, after the catastrophe, the Father and Son traverse the scorched earth, crossing the continent. The entire book is permeated with deep, heart-wrenching questions. Is there any point in living if there is no future? Not at all. Is there any point in living for the children? This is a novel about the relativity of all things in life, that concepts like good and evil cease to function and lose meaning under certain conditions. It is a novel about what is truly important in life and how to appreciate it. And it is also a novel about death, about the fact that everything someday ends, and therefore one must accept each day as it is. One simply needs to... live.
