內容簡介

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙤𝙖𝙙 by Cormac McCarthy

美國當代文壇大師戈馬克麥卡錫，普立茲小說獎得獎作

紐約時報評選21世紀百大小說

浩劫過後，一片荒蕪。

雪花夾雜著灰燼飄落。父子穿越廢墟般的美國，放眼望去盡是冰冷灰濛，不見藍天，也再無豔陽。長路漫漫，目的地是海岸—而即使成功抵達，兩人也不知道，等在他們面前的會是什麼。

除了身上穿的衣物，一把遇上埋伏匪徒時自保用的手槍，一車四處撿拾來的食物，以及彼此，父子兩人一無所有。

末日之後，道德和其他萬物一同凋零，爭搶稀缺資源，為生存不擇手段成了唯一真理。當昔日文明已成廢墟，我們能夠相信，曾經認同的美好希望與價值，在歲月靜好的太平日子以外，仍有存在的意義嗎？

美國文壇大師、同時也被視為當代最重要作家之一的麥卡錫以歲月淬鍊，對人性與自然關懷的至高讚歌，為八歲兒子而寫，為我們至今仍舊願意相信的所有美好事物而寫。

One of the New York Times 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

A post-apocalyptic classic set in a burned-out America, a father and his young son walk under a darkened sky, heading slowly for the coast. They have no idea what, if anything, awaits them there. The Road is a masterpiece of American fiction from Cormac McCarthy.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

The landscape is destroyed. Nothing moves save the ash on the wind. Cruel, lawless men stalk the roadside, lying in wait. Attempting to survive in this brave new world, the young boy and his protector have nothing but a pistol to defend themselves. They must keep walking.

In this unflinching study of the best and worst of humankind, Cormac McCarthy boldly divines a future without hope, but one in which, miraculously, this young family may yet find tenderness.

'The Road made me cry for days' – Emma Donoghue, author of Room and Haven

'[T]he most important environmental book ever written' – George Monbiot, author of Feral and Regenesis

With an introduction from John Banville, author of The Sea.

Adapted into a critically-acclaimed film starring Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron.

Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.

作者介紹

Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island. He later went to Chicago, where he worked as an auto mechanic while writing his first novel, The Orchard Keeper. The Orchard Keeper was published by Random House in 1965; McCarthy's editor there was Albert Erskine, William Faulkner's long-time editor. Before publication, McCarthy received a travelling fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which he used to travel to Ireland. In 1966 he also received the Rockefeller Foundation Grant, with which he continued to tour Europe, settling on the island of Ibiza. Here, McCarthy completed revisions of his next novel, Outer Dark. In 1967, McCarthy returned to the United States, moving to Tennessee. Outer Dark was published in 1968, and McCarthy received the Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Writing in 1969. His next novel, Child of God, was published in 1973. From 1974 to 1975, McCarthy worked on the screenplay for a PBS film called The Gardener's Son, which premiered in 1977. A revised version of the screenplay was later published by Ecco Press. In the late 1970s, McCarthy moved to Texas, and in 1979 published his fourth novel, Suttree, a book that had occupied his writing life on and off for twenty years. He received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1981, and published his fifth novel, Blood Meridian, in 1985. All the Pretty Horses, the first volume of The Border Trilogy, was published in 1992. It won both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award and was later turned into a feature film. The Stonemason, a play that McCarthy had written in the mid-1970s and subsequently revised, was published by Ecco Press in 1994. Soon thereafter, the second volume of The Border Trilogy, The Crossing, was published with the third volume, Cities of the Plain, following in 1998. McCarthy's next novel, No Country for Old Men, was published in 2005. This was followed in 2006 by a novel in dramatic form, The Sunset Limited, originally performed by Steppenwolf Theatre Company of Chicago. McCarthy's most recent novel, The Road, was published in 2006 and won the Pulitzer Prize.
