The Road by Cormac McCarthy
In a bleak, ash-choked postapocalyptic landscape, a nameless father and his young son travel south along a ruined highway, scavenging for food and warmth while avoiding marauders and the desperate, cannibalistic remnants of humanity; the father struggles to protect his child and teach him compassion and moral restraint even as their hope dwindles, and their bond—love, fear, and relentless determination—becomes the story’s central pulse amid pervasive loss and the question of what it means to remain human.
