About it

Titles in This Set. The Road. Blood Meridian. No Country for Old Men. Condition: New. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9781529064438. Publisher: Picador. Overview. This paperback bundle gathers three of Cormac McCarthy's most acclaimed novels: the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Road, the brutal frontier epic Blood Meridian, and the tense modern classic No Country for Old Men. Together they traverse a scorched post-apocalyptic America, the lawless 1850s Texas-Mexico borderlands, and a drug deal gone fatally wrong. A superb way to discover — or complete a collection of — one of America's greatest literary voices.. About the Books. The Road follows a father and his young son as they trudge through a grey, burned-out America, pushing a shopping cart of scavenged supplies and carrying "the fire" of hope and humanity between them, even as the world around them has lost both. Blood Meridian traces the horrifying journey of a nameless teenage drifter known as "the kid," who joins a real-life gang of scalp hunters roaming the Texas-Mexico border, in a novel that strips away the romantic myth of the American West and replaces it with something far darker and more biblical in scope. No Country for Old Men begins when Llewelyn Moss stumbles upon the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong in the desert — corpses, heroin, and two million dollars — and decides to keep the cash, triggering a merciless pursuit by one of fiction's most unsettling villains, Anton Chigurh, while an ageing sheriff looks on at a world he can no longer understand. Across all three books, McCarthy's spare, relentless, and often startlingly poetic prose style is unmistakable, exploring violence, fate, and morality with a clarity few writers have matched. Two of the three novels were adapted into major, award-winning films, introducing McCarthy's bleak, uncompromising vision to an even wider audience and cementing these stories as staples of modern American literature..
