THE RED SCARF

di Werner Freiberger (Autore)

epubli, 2026

December 1800. In the villages around Hohenlinden and Maitenbeth, war is drawing ever closer. Josef, a young farmer from Innach, has only recently returned to the familiar rhythms of home after a serious illness. There is work to be done, a family to care for, and Anna, his young wife, beside him. She has knitted him a red scarf — a simple piece of wool that will come to mean far more than either of them could imagine. When Josef is called back into military service, he finds himself caught in the Battle of Hohenlinden on 3 December 1800. Amid snow, gunfire and the confusion of retreat, war loses any remaining trace of glory. What matters now is survival, and the choices that cannot be undone. Deep in a snow-covered forest, Josef encounters a young French soldier. For one brief moment, two strangers stand face to face, divided by their uniforms yet bound by something neither fully understands. While Josef struggles to find his way through the aftermath of battle, Anna searches for news, writes letters and keeps their life at home from falling apart. **The Red Scarf** is a quietly moving historical novel about ordinary lives caught in extraordinary circumstances. Set against the Battle of Hohenlinden, it explores love, guilt, compassion and the small acts of humanity that endure even in war.
