Na vyprahnutú zem sa zniesla ďalšia vrstva prachu a popola. Kýpte stromov sa striedajú s ruinami civilizácie. Mŕtvi nemo svedčia o bolesti a bezmocnosti, poslední živí sa nezastavia pred ničím, ani pred kanibalizmom. Sivé nebo so sivým slnkom čoraz častejšie prekrýva čierny studený dážď. Jediná možnosť uniknúť smrti je cesta – na juh. Desivá realita postapokalyptického románu Cormaca McCarthyho o putovaní otca a syna krajinou spustošenou kataklizmou. McCarthy s majstrovskou jednoduchosťou predstavuje svet, v ktorom prestali platiť hodnoty civilizácie a cenu má len to, čo pomôže prežiť ďalší deň. Uprostred nepriateľskej krajiny sa rozvíja nádherný ľudský cit, krehké, a pritom pevné puto medzi otcom a synom. Románový príbeh o láske, obetavosti a nádeji, ktorý stvorili nemilosrdne drsné podmienky, získal roku 2007 Pulitzerovou cenu.

This compelling novel has as its protagonist Cornelius Suttree, living alone and in exile in a disintegrating houseboat on the wrong side of the Tennessee River close by Knoxville. He stays at the edge of an outcast community inhabited by eccentrics, criminals and the poverty-stricken. Rising above the physical and human squalor around him, his detachment and wry humour enable him to survive dereliction and destitution with dignity. ‘Suttree contains a humour that is Faulknerian in its gentle wryness, and a freakish imaginative flair reminiscent of Flannery O’Connor’ Times Literary Supplement ‘Suttree marks McCarthy’s closest approach to autobiography and is probably the funniest and most unbearably sad of his books’ Stanley Booth

By the author of the critically acclaimed Border Trilogy, Outer Dark is a novel at once mythic and starkly evocative, set in an unspecified place in Appalachia sometime around the turn of the century. A woman bears her brother’s child, a boy; the brother leaves the baby in the woods and tells her he died of natural causes. Discovering her brother’s lie, she sets forth alone to find her son. Both brother and sister wander separately through a countryside being scourged by three terrifying and elusive strangers, headlong toward an eerie, apocalyptic resolution. ‘McCarthy is a master stylist, perhaps without equal in American letters . . . In his hands, everything is done with consummate skill’ Village Voice ‘McCarthy has made the fabulous real, the ordinary mysterious’ New York Times ‘A profound parable that ultimately speaks to any society in any time’ Time

Falsely accused of rape, Lester Ballard is released from jail, and a trip to the dry-goods store, an errand to the blacksmith, and other incidents are transformed into scenes of the comic and the grotesque.

The best-selling, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Road returns with the first of a two-volume masterpiece: The Passenger is the story of a salvage diver, haunted by loss, afraid of the watery deep, pursued for a conspiracy beyond his understanding, and longing for a death he cannot reconcile with God. Look for Stella Maris, the second volume in The Passenger series, on sale December 6th, 2022 1980, PASS CHRISTIAN, MISSISSIPPI: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips the jacket of his wet suit and plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot’s flight bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul. Traversing the American South, from the garrulous barrooms of New Orleans to an abandoned oil rig off the Florida coast, The Passenger is a breathtaking novel of morality and science, the legacy of sin, and the madness that is human consciousness.

Nedlouho před svou svatbou se Konzultant, uznávaný právník, rozhodne vstoupit do riskantní oblasti obchodu s drogami na drsné texasko-mexické hranici – a doufá, že následkům tohoto rozhodnutí dokáže uniknout. Je pevně přesvědčen, že až mnohamilionový obchod s kokainem proběhne, vše se vrátí do starých kolejí a on se zase navrátí ke svému starému životu po boku milované snoubenky. Namísto toho se však ocitne uprostřed brutální a smrtelně nebezpečné hry, která může zničit všechno, co má rád, a všechny, jež kdy miloval. Cormac McCarthy se i ve svém posledním díle předvádí ve vrcholné formě, i když Konzultant není román, nýbrž „jen“ scénář k filmu, který letos natočil hvězdný režisér Ridley Scott s neméně hvězdnými obsazením: v hlavních rolích se tu objeví Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz a Javier Bardem. Českou premiéru má film 28. listopadu.

"Set in a small, remote community in rural Tennessee in the years between the two world wars, The Orchard Keeper is a classic from one of America's finest and most celebrated authors.

Кормак Маккарти — современный американский классик главного калибра, лауреат Макартуровской стипендии «За гениальность», мастер сложных переживаний и нестандартного синтаксиса, хорошо известный нашему читателю романами «Старикам тут не место» (фильм братьев Коэн по этой книге получил четыре «Оскара»), «Дорога» (получил Пулитцеровскую премию и также был экранизирован) и «Кони, кони...» (получил Национальную книжную премию США и был перенесен на экран Билли Бобом Торнтоном, главные роли исполнили Мэтт Дэймон и Пенелопа Крус). Но впервые Маккарти прославился именно романом «Кровавый меридиан, или Закатный багрянец на западе», именно после этой книги о нем заговорили не только литературные критики, но и широкая публика. Маститый англичанин Джон Бэнвилл, лауреат Букера, назвал этот роман «своего рода смесью дантова ”Ада“, ”Илиады“ и ”Моби-Дика“». Главный герой «Кровавого меридиана», четырнадцатилетний подросток из Теннеси, известный лишь как «малец», становится героем новейшего эпоса, основанного на реальных событиях и обстоятельствах техасско-мексиканского пограничья середины XIX века, где бурно развивается рынок индейских скальпов… Впервые на русском.

Siamo al confine tra Texas e Messico, in un paese che ha abbandonato i vecchi valori per cadere in preda a una violenza cieca e incontrollata. Tale violenza si incarna in Anton Chigurh, un assassino psicopatico munito di un'arma micidiale e di una pericolosa filosofia della giustizia. Il suo avversario, un uomo del passato che non sa farsi una ragione della ferocia del presente, è lo sceriffo Bell. Entrambi sono alla ricerca di Llewelyn Moss, un reduce del Vietnam che mentre cacciava antilopi sul Rio Grande si è ritrovato sul luogo affollato di cadaveri di una battaglia fra narcotrafficanti, e ha colto al volo un'occasione che si è rivelata troppo grande per lui. L'inseguimento si svolge lungo e oltre il confine, in un crescendo di suspense e violenza. Il destino di Moss, erede di tutti i cowboy di McCarthy e dei loro valori di dignità e onore, dipende da quale dei due inseguitori lo troverà per primo. Scritto in uno stile veloce e asciutto, crudo e implacabile come una premonizione di tragedia, con i dialoghi incisivi che rendono unica la scrittura di McCarthy, questo romanzo riporta il lettore nei paesaggi del Sudest degli Stati Uniti, popolati da uomini che, "se uno li ammazzasse tutti, toccherebbe costruire una dépendance dell'inferno". Non è un paese per vecchi sarà portato sugli schermi cinematografici da Joel ed Ethan Coen.
