We're giving away five copies of Eugene Drucker's debut novel, The Savior, just in time for the master violinist's reading and performance at Barnes & Noble in Lincoln Center. Drucker, a founding member of the Emerson String Quartet, will be signing books as well as giving a short performance and a talk with John Marchese, author of The Violin Maker.

(The Savior by Eugene Drucker; see him live at Barnes & Noble; Tues., July 10; 7 p.m.)

Synopsis: Set during the final weeks of World War II, The Savior is the story of a young German violinist drafted to play for wounded soldiers and eventually for inmates in labor camps. As Keller bears witness to the camp's atrocities, his horror toward the perpetrators and their crime begins to fade, revealing his own culpability. The Savior is a complex and illuminating character study of a man severed from his past expectations and an artist struggling with his identity in the face of human catastrophe.
