The Road (korean Edition)

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a completely different book with our traditional practice. In which McCarthy imagined and painted the painful future of earth which is not so far. Yea, it is true that he depicted the cruel forthcoming future and the fate of human being and their civilization. So that, one can demands it as a book of environmental consciousness. But in truly speaking, this book gifted us far more beyond that. He put the words in the little boy’s innocent question which remind us about basic ethic towards humanity and nature, love and responsibility toward life and others, morality and faith.

The story begins with a journey in a road. Some unknown mischievous disaster destroyed the earth and its kids. The father and the son were walking through the road towards south with a hope of life. The climate got changed drastically. Sometime it is rain cat and dog; sometimes the cold is too hard enough to crack stones and the cold wind flowed very fast. As they go forward, they were maze by the dead burnt woods and its loneliness, no leaving creature in the road. Throughout the journey they struggled for food. Sometime they manage it from abandoned houses or grocery. Sometimes they met with the people sacred from this certain changes and not coming out in daylight fearing the survivors. The earth is in total disorder. No body believed any body. Everybody was looking for food like a long hungry animal. The child distorted by the terrible pain of watching an infant roasting in spit. It looked like all growth halted.

The father was very much concern about his kid and he was ready to save him by hooks or crooks to with a hope to give him a new life. But he is not bother about other. The child questioned in different moment with his different actions which hurt him. Once the man advised the kid not to be concern about everything, but the child replied that he was the one who should take care of all.

Though the survivors were few, but still they could be united to face the situation. But everybody was thinking about themselves. Everybody was trying to get food and cloths from others, fearing others and disbelieving others. So humanity came down to beastliness.

But at the end McCarthy showed the light of hope. After long journey with him prolong coughing, the father will die and the son will come and stand at “The Road” with a feeling of hopelessness and stunned by leaving of ‘papa’.
