"A

Vienna,
1914.
Lucius
is
a
twenty-two-year-old
medical
student
when
World
War
I
explodes
across
Europe.
Enraptured
by
romantic
tales
of
battlefield
surgery,
he
enlists,
expecting
a
position
at
a
well-organized
field
hospital.
But
when
he
arrives,
at
a
commandeered
church
tucked
away
high
in
a
remote
valley
of
the
Carpathian
Mountains,
he
finds
a
freezing
outpost
ravaged
by
typhus.
The
other
doctors
have
fled,
and
only
a
single,
mysterious
nurse
named
Sister
Margarete
remains.
But
Lucius
has
never
lifted
a
surgeon's
scalpel.
And
as
the
war
rages
across
the
winter
landscape,
he
finds
himself
falling
in
love
with
the
woman
from
whom
he
must
learn
a
brutal,
makeshift
medicine.
Then
one
day,
an
unconscious
soldier
is
brought
in
from
the
snow,
his
uniform
stuffed
with
strange
drawings.
He
seems
beyond
rescue,
until
Lucius
makes
a
fateful
decision
that
will
change
the
lives
of
doctor,
patient,
and
nurse
forever.
From
the
gilded
ballrooms
of
Imperial
Vienna
to
the
frozen
forests
of
the
Eastern
Front;
from
hardscrabble
operating
rooms
to
battlefields
thundering
with
Cossack
cavalry,The
Winter
Soldieris
the
story
of
war
and
medicine,
of
family,
of
finding
love
in
the
sweeping
tides
of
history,
and
finally,
of
the
mistakes
we
make,
and
the
precious
opportunities
to
atone.

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

"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

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. Living with Lucius and Margarete, it was the First World War as I have never felt it."—Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less
"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.

"A captivating story of a battle surgeon's baptism of fire in love and war.The Winter Soldieris beautifully, elegantly written, the prose pitched at a level where it feels rich and lustrous but at the same time transparent and devoid of pomposity.

"Mason's lyrical and affecting novel about the costs of war and lost love will satisfy readers of quality fiction."—David Keymer, Library Journal
"A novel of love, war, and medicine set during the grim final two years of World War I...Mason's contribution to war literature involves almost no depiction of fighting but rather its aftermath, the tragically scarred soldiers, and the almost equally traumatized caregivers who sacrifice their health in providing medical help to the wounded."—Kirkus Reviews
