"A father and his young son walk alone through burned America, heading slowly for the coast. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. They have nothing but a pistol to defend themselves against the men who stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food - and each other." -- back cover.
The Road, Cormac McCarthy
The condition of the book was really good. I have already read it and love it, but I ordered it for my friend. It is a must read if you like bleak and dark writings. The apocalyptic writing coupled with McCarthy's unique writing style makes it one of the best modern classics, in my opinion.
