In my pursuit of worldly success, I became lost in the darkness of the world. The road I was walking, God gave me signs and detours I choose to ignore. I let the enemy lead me into the dark abyss of life. Then one day, God shined a ray of hope into the darkness and brought me to a dead-end road. He led, I followed, and He brought His lost sheep home. He spoke, I listened, and I heard His voice. "He said, let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee" (Genesis 33:12). He would heal me, our home, marriage, and family. He would bless us through obedience; give me grace I did not deserve. He would teach me to have faith in Him as we walked the white rock path to cross the Great Divide to the other side. He would teach me as we journeyed to the top of the mountain in search of the lone tree atop the mountain.

Verstört, sprachlos, irgendwie zurückgeblieben – so kommen die Zwillinge Dolores und Frank bei Tante Luce an. Vermutlich waren sie dabei, als ihre Mutter starb, ermordet von Bud, einem brutalen Gelegenheitsgauner und dem ehemaligen Lebensgefährten der Mutter. Luce gewinnt langsam das Vertrauen der Zwillinge, und auch sie selbst, die Außenseiterin, die in einem verfallenden Sommerhaus in North Carolina lebt, scheint zur Ruhe zu kommen. Auf eine leichte, aufregend unspektakuläre Weise gelingt es Charles Frazier, eine Handvoll fragiler Menschen vor den Gefahren zu retten, die sie immer enger zu umschließen drohen.

One of the most acclaimed first novels in recent memory, Charles Frazier''s Cold Mountain is a masterpiece that is at once an enthralling adventure, a stirring love story, and a luminous evocation of a vanished America -- a country where savagery coexists with splendor and human beings contend with the inhuman solitude of the wilderness. Sorely wounded and fatally disillusioned in the lighting at Petersburg, Inman, a Confederate soldier, decides to walk back to his home in the Blue Ridge mountains and to Ada, the woman he loved there years before. His trek across the disintegrating South brings him into intimate and sometimes lethal converse with slaves and marauders, bounty hunters and witches, both helpful and malign. At the same time, Ada is trying to revive her father''s derelict farm and learning to survive in a world where the old certainties have been swept away. As it interweaves their stories, Cold Mountain asserts itself as an authentic American Odyssey -- hugely powerful, majestically lovely, and keenly moving. "Charles Frazier''s feeling for the Southern landscape is reverential and beautifully composed. He has written an astonishing first novel". -- Alfred Kazin, The New York Review of Books "Extraordinary... A Whitmanesque foray into America: into its hugeness, its freshness into America: into its hugeness, its freshness its scope and its soul". -- The New York Times Book Review "A great read -- a stirring Civil War tale told with epic sweep". -- People "Strikingly beautiful... In its vivid evocation of a time and place, its steady story-telling momentum and its unabashed affirmation of a fiction that takes moral choice seriously, Cold Mountain calls to mind SnowFalling on Cedars". -- Newsday "Heartbreakingly beautiful...elegantly told...down to the last haunting detail". -- John Berendt, author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil "Astonishing...a genuinely romantic saga that attains the status of literature". -- Newsweek

Dans le gîte rural au fin fond de la chaîne des Appalaches où elle vit seule, retranchée du monde et du chaos de l''Amérique des sixties, Luce, jeune femme farouche et indépendante, voit un jour débarquer les deux enfants de sa soeur, Frank et Dolores, dont elle va désormais devoir assurer la garde. Ayant vu leur père, Bud, une brute épaisse, assassiner leur mère, ils sont traumatisés et se sont réfugiés dans un mutisme inquiétant, plein de chagrin, de colère et d''une violence qui peut à tout moment exploser. Patiemment, Luce va tenter de réapprendre la vie à ces deux sauvageons écorchés vifs, et elle-même de reprendre goût à l''amour en compagnie de Stubblefield, le nouveau propriétaire des terres où elle s''est établie. De son côté, Bud, blanchi du meurtre de sa femme faute de témoins, s''est mis en tête de retrouver Frank et Dolores, persuadé qu''ils lui ont volé une forte somme d''argent. Il s''adjoint la complicité de Lit, le vieux shérif alcoolique du comté, sans savoir que celui-ci est son propre beau-père, et se lance dans une traque inexorable, à l''issue sanglante.
