Cold Mountain (signed)

First Edition, First Printing. Very fine in fine dust jacket. Fine black and blue cloth and boards. Signed by Frazier on the title page. First state with misprint "man-woman" on p. 25, line 16, later changed to "mad-woman." Frazier's first novel traces the journey of Inman, a wounded deserter from the Confederate army near the end of the American Civil War. It follows his harrowing journey from deserting the army to finding his way back to the woman he left behind, Ada, who waits for him, dealing with all kinds of hardships herself. The power of Ada and Inman's love, and their dedication to reuniting, is the driving force of the novel, along with Frazier's incorporation of historical context. Basis for the 2003 film starring Nicole Kidman, Academy Award winner Renee Zellweger who won the Best Supporting Actress award for the film and Jude Law who was nominated for Best Actor for the film. Octavo. 356 pages. A beautiful copy.
