Recenzii

"The Winter Soldierbrims with improbable narrative pleasures...These pages crackle with excitement--and charging cavalries, false identities, arranged marriages, scheming industrialists and missing persons...Within the meticulously researched and magnificently realized backdrop of European dissolution, Mason finds his few lost souls, and shepherds them toward an elusive peace. Lucius's 'dream of being able to see another person's thinking' is not only the controlling metaphor ofThe Winter Soldier, but the work of literature more broadly. Lucius may fail, but the novel he carries is a spectacular success."—Anthony Marra, New York Times
"The beauty of Mason's new novel persists even through scenes of unspeakable agony. That tension reflects the span of his talent...The story that unfolds in this forsaken place is so captivating that you may feel as unable to leave it as Lucius does."—Ron Charles, Washington Post
"I have been a Daniel Mason fan sinceThe Piano Tuner. His abilities as a storyteller and a writer of the most gorgeous prose leave you wanting more.The Winter Soldieris a tour de force.

"Epic...Urgent, cinematically beautiful...Lucius is an irresistible protagonist...Not only does Mason make every crumb of pertinent history, culture, and geography so real throughout this saga that a reader feels instantly teleported into all of it, [but]The Winter Soldierdelivers, in shocking detail, a relentless inventory of the era's medical knowledge and practices...Mason has created a magnificent world, urging us to savor every grain of it."—Joan Frank, San Francisco Chronicle

"Part mystery, part war story, part romance,The Winter Soldieris a dream of a novel--impeccably researched and totally immersive.

This novel convinces you with every sentence."

—Anthony Doerr, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of All the Light We Cannot See
"What I've found most remarkable about Mason's fiction is the quality of his revelations, his ability to unveil temperaments, habits, natures...AlthoughThe Winter Soldiercontains some of the most brutal moments of suffering I've encountered in fiction, they're never there just to move the story along. They allow the reader to sit very close to someone in great pain and listen to him."—Wyatt Mason, New York Times Magazine
"So real, so rich and detailed, that the room in which I was reading vanished. I was transported to a lost world of the past. Suspenseful, thrilling, aching with emotion.

"In the tradition ofCold MountainandDoctor Zhivago,Daniel Mason's new novel is a gloriously gripping story of love, war, and the marvel of human endurance.
