1st printing. By Cormac McCarthy. A searing, post-apocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, each the others world entire, are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 256 pages, Text Only. Cover price $35.00.

Volume 3 - 1st printing.

Based on the book "Meiji kenken hikyu roku" by Seigai Ota. Adapted by Natsuo Sekigawa and Jiro Taniguchi.

Soseki Natsume was established as a great author with the publication of the tales of Botchan.

It is the 42nd year of the Meiji Period, a year in which the man who is considered the first modern author of Japan, Futabatei Shimei, dies, and the Surgeon General, Mori Ogai, holds poetry readings. This moral tale of Japan's awakening into the modern world shows the clash between an individual's person freedom and the traditional social conventions of the time. With the artistic talents of Taniguchi (The Walking Man), and a solid script by Sekikawa, this is a true insight of Japanese society towards the end of the Meiji Period.

Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 160 pages, B&W.

NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.
