A hard read but a masterpiece. The mostly dark illustrations suit the story.

商品の詳細
A man and a boy push a cart piled with their worldly possessions through the scorched ruins of post-apocalyptic America. Emaciated, filthy and exhausted, the pair makes painfully slow but determined progress along the road that will ultimately lead to the sea and the hope of salvation. One of the most requested books in Folio reader surveys, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is a beautiful, harrowing and mesmerising account of the most horrific of scenarios. It earned McCarthy the Pulitzer Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and was adapted into a critically acclaimed film. This much-anticipated new collector’s edition includes Folio author Michael Chabon’s illuminating review-essay, first published in the New York Review of Books, as well as the artwork of award-winning artist Gérard DuBois, who captures the beauty and brutality of McCarthy’s vision in breathtaking colour illustrations. Winner of the Moira Gemmill Illustrator of the Year Prize and the Book Illustration category at the V&A Illustration Awards 2022. ‘My job is to take care of you. I was appointed to do that by God. I will kill anyone who touches you. Do you understand?’

The books from The Folio Society consistently impress me with the quality of the binding, the paper, and the artwork. As someone who recently picked up bookbinding as a hobby, I have come to appreciate aspects of books that most people don't pay attention to. These books are sewn, and you can see the stitches between the signatures. They do not waste your money on flashy features that don't improve quality. As for this book specifically, The Road by Cormac McCarthy, I am extremely happy with what I got. It is not hard to open like a glued book. The spine is curved. The book is the perfect size and weight, and it feels great to hold. The art is beautiful and it perfectly matches the tone of the text. The cover is one big image with text only on the spine; it is simple and beautiful. But it's not just some piece of art that sits on the shelf. It is a very robust book and I trust that I will be able to read it many times in the years to come.

Beautiful book with wonderful illustrations. I’m delighted with this purchase and would like to buy more in this series. The illustrations fit the mood of the book perfectly. Expensive yes, but for the quality it’s completely worth it. Highly recommend.
