Best known for his Border Trilogy, hailed in the San Francisco Chronicle as an American classic to stand with the finest literary achievements of the century, Cormac McCarthy has written ten rich and often brutal novels, including the bestselling No Country for Old Men, and The Road. Profoundly dark, told in spare, searing prose, The Road is a post-apocalyptic masterpiece, one of the best books we've read this year, but in case you need a second (and expert) opinion, we asked Dennis Lehane, author of equally rich, occasionally bleak and brutal novels, to read it and give us his take. Read his glowing review below. --Daphne Durham
内容説明
NATIONAL BESTSELLERPULITZER PRIZE WINNERNational Book Critic's Circle Award FinalistA New York Times Notable BookOne of the Best Books of the YearThe Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, The Denver Post, The Kansas City Star, Los Angeles Times, New York, People, Rocky Mountain News, Time, The Village Voice, The Washington PostThe searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece.A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food-and each other.The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.

父と子が交わす言葉少ない会話、そこに愛や儚さ、脆さや強さ、灰色の世界の中での意思と希望、全てが感じられます。
コーマック・マッカーシー氏はある意味で、『神』を描いているように思います。 終末思想と救世主というメタファーを根底に据えているようでもあるし、それでいて、この本は、人間の強さを謳っている･･。 そう、「僕たちは火をもっているから・・」 後半は、途中で本を閉じることが出来ませんでした。

A Must Read!,

I was hesitant to buy this book at first but, something in me tells me that it is worth it. And it sure was. Some may call it hopeless based on how the world seems to be post-apocalypse. But I completely disagree, the love of the father and son to each other and the hope that burns within their heart and the faith that they will have a better tomorrow, that for me is the very definition of hope.
An unforgettable story, I must say.

レビュー対象商品: The Road (Vintage International) (ペーパーバック)
It's the tale of a father and his young son who walk along a road towards the coast. They are two of the last survivors after an indeterminate catastrophe has scorched the world and covered it in ash. Little still grows and little food remains. Individuals huddle along this road, cities stand ravaged and plundered, bands of people conducting acts too brutal to mention scavenge the landscape. Nothing much happens, father and son ['we are the last two good guys'] keep walking. There are one or two near encounters with other people which set your blood racing and one or two little set backs which prove near devastating for their survival.
Simple sentences and vocabulary, broken syntax, matter-of-fact descriptions of the surroundings and an elegiac mood add to a sense of menace. The one or two little ups are taken as the miracles they are. This depiction of a world that has come to its end seems absolutely realistic and at times truly terrifying. The repetition in the descriptions of the landscape [everything is 'dark', 'grey', 'covered in ash'] worked for me, adding to the despair of this world. But I note that a number of readers found this more dull than daring. I'd also recommend reading the mesmerising and highly evocative novel The Fates by Tino Georgiou.
