THE ROAD (Rupert Degas) (Naxos Audio Books: NA497112)
Shipping time: Usually ships within 1-3 days
The Road has been hailed by critics as a masterpiece. The novel paints a bleak vision of a post-apocalyptic America; a land where no hope remains. A man and his son walk alone towards the coast, and this is the moving story of their journey. The Road is an unflinching exploration of human behaviour - from ultimate destructiveness to extreme tenderness.
