Purchase options and add-ons

Few, if any, modern novels have inspired as large a volume of critical writing as Cormac McCarthy's The Road. It is a novel about a man and a boy trudging through a wasteland after the fall of civilisation. But McCarthy's extraordinary achievement is to have created out of the bleakness and horror of his subject matter what Stephen Fry calls 'a novel of incomparable beauty'. 'The Road,' says the critic John Cant, 'expresses the paradox that lies at the heart of all serious pessimistic literature: its literary passion defies the very emptiness that it proclaims.'

Product description

Review

What I love about these is that they're small & unintimidating, so they make the potentially intimidating accessible. --Helena Bonham Carter

The Connell Guides are brief, attractive, erudite, and to the point. Bravo! --Sir Tom Stoppard

Completely brilliant. I wish I were young again with these by my side. It's like being in a room with marvellous tutors. You can't really afford to be without them, and they are a joy to read. --Joanna Lumley
