This is one of my all time favorite books. It is a novel written by Cormac McCarthy, who is one of the greatest north american writers of our times. It is a story of a father and his son trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, in which the civilization have been destroyed and the earth have suffered and unspecified cataclysm. But this scenario isn't the focus of the story but the devotion of the father on his son. The mother of the child have decided to end with her life, and she talked to her husband asking his permission to take their son life with her. He doesn't allow that, no matter how bad was the world in that moment. After she killed herself, they begin a journey to the south in order to get to the sea, but the road is full of dangers, such like cannibals and apocalyptic weather hazards. Since the beggining of the story it makes you wonder: how is this story comming to an end? It is there something like a happy ending to these guys? It seems imposible, but if you want to find it out, I highly recommend you to read the book or watch the movie, which is also great and the father role is played by one of my favorite actors, Viggo Mortenssen.
This story really touches me, people often tell me that I am over protective with my child, it may be true and I can't stop thinking how hard must be a situation like the one depicted in this novel. Anyway, I recommend you to read or watch it but be ready to cry!
