Cormac McCarthy - The Road on Naxos AudioBooks
Loading...
Uploaded by NaxosAudioBooks on Nov 24, 2008
"Consistently brilliant in its imagining of the posthumous condition of nature and civilization." - The New York Times Book Review
However bleak the subject of "The Road", Cormac McCarthys searing portrait of a post-apocalyptic world, it was immediately hailed by critics as a masterpiece and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2007 and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
In a land where no hope remains, a man and his son walk alone towards the coast. "The Road" is the moving story of their journey, but also an unflinching exploration of human behaviour from ultimate destructiveness to extreme tenderness.
Cormac McCarthy has written ten novels, including "No Country for Old Men", "Blood Meridian" and the "Border Trilogy" series. He has previously won the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. The movie of "The Road" starring Viggo Mortensen is now on US release, and many will want to read the original work before or after seeing it.
"The Road" is read for Naxos AudioBooks by Audie/Earphone award winner Rupert Degas.

The most boring book I ever read.

@MrCalib96 I think the music is fitting but not for this part. i agree with you. The music more fitting the spit scene.

@feedthefire Read 'Blood Meridian', his masterwork, and perhaps the best novel of the past 20 years.

Whats the horror music for. This part was more touching than scary

I think the narration by Stechschulte is way better, he adds so much feeling to the story, my opinion though.

it was a book I read with relish, and after that I had a burger. The prose was delightful, but so was the litre of Port I consumed while I read this tale. 5 stars from me.
