Detalhes do produto
A man and a boy push a cart piled with their worldly possessions through the scorched ruins of post-apocalyptic America. Emaciated, filthy and exhausted, the pair makes painfully slow but determined progress along the road that will ultimately lead to the sea and the hope of salvation. One of the most requested books in Folio reader surveys, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is a beautiful, harrowing and mesmerising account of the most horrific of scenarios. It earned McCarthy the Pulitzer Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and was adapted into a critically acclaimed film. This much-anticipated new collector’s edition includes Folio author Michael Chabon’s illuminating review-essay, first published in the New York Review of Books, as well as the artwork of award-winning artist Gérard DuBois, who captures the beauty and brutality of McCarthy’s vision in breathtaking colour illustrations. Winner of the Moira Gemmill Illustrator of the Year Prize and the Book Illustration category at the V&A Illustration Awards 2022. ‘My job is to take care of you. I was appointed to do that by God. I will kill anyone who touches you. Do you understand?’

The book itself (apart from the great story) is masterfully produced. I love the feel of the paper, the font type and height are just perfect. This is why I buy Folio Society books, you experience the love for the craft of bookmaking with the subtle but gorgeous artworks that add (never subtract) to the amazing story. It's a trifecta indeed.

Heartrending story with visuals that artfully reflect the hopelessness of father and son and the barrenness of the landscape.

A bit dreary but thought provoking. Quite a warning of what could happen to us.
