The Road is a Pulitzer Prize-winning 2006 post-apocalyptic novel by Cormac McCarthy about an unnamed father and son journeying through a desolate, ash-covered America after an unspecified cataclysm. They scavenge for food and try to survive against starvation, cold, and violent, cannibalistic gangs, while the father tries to protect his son and maintain their morality, symbolized by "carrying the fire". The book is known for its minimalist prose, bleak setting, and profound exploration of love, hope, and the struggle between good and evil in the face of total devastation.
