by
Charles Frazier
Frazier's highly anticipated new epic tells the story of 12-year-old Will, sent away to the Nation to run a trading post with only a horse, a key, and a map to guide him. As Will's destiny intertwines with the fate of the Cherokee Indians -- including a Cherokee Chief named Bear -- he learns how to fight and survive in the face of both nature and men.

An Author's Acceptance
| An excerpt from Frazier's acceptance speech at the 1997 National Book Awards ceremony: "I'm new to this business. If anybody had told me it was this much fun, I might have tackled it earlier. I'd like to thank a few people. My wife, Catherine, first of all, who, though she denies it, I don't know that many wives who would've said to a 40-year-old man, 'Sure honey, quit that job, write that novel.'"

"Charles Frazier's first novel is a rare and extraordinary book -- a Civil War novel concerned less with battlefields than with the landscape of the human soul," observed The San Francisco Chronicle. Cold Mountain was adapted for the silver screen as the 2003 blockbuster starring Jude Law and Nicole Kidman.

by
Homer
In an interview, Frazier describes how a classic epic inspired him when writing Cold Mountain. "When my father told me the story of this ancestor, that was one of the first things I thought of -- that there were certain parallels to The Odyssey that might be useful in trying to think of a way to tell this story," he explains.
