From Free net encyclopedia

Charles Frazier, American novelist, was born in 1950 in Raleigh, North Carolina, graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1973, and received his Ph.D. in English from the University of South Carolina in 1986.

His first novel, Cold Mountian (Atlantic Monthly Press. 1997. ISBN 0871136791) traces the journey of Inman, a deserter from the Confederate army near the end of the American Civil War. The work is rich in the culture and sensibilities of the North Carolina mountains and was based on local history and stories handed down from Frazier's great-great-uncle.

The novel won the 1997 National Book Award and was adapted to film by Anthony Minghella in the 2003 production Cold Mountain.he:צ'רלס פרייזר
