| | 1. |  | Winter's Tale
from Harvest Books
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
A very enjoyable read, a little Gangs of New York, Pegasus, a touch of Twilight Zone, time travel, passionate love interest, mystery, thrills, and history. A terrific writer who kept me engaged. Also read his terribly funny Memoirs from an Antproof case, a tall and very entertaining tale.

| | 2. |  | A Soldier of the Great War
from Harvest Books
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
In "A Soldier of the Great War," Helprin weaves a plot of incredible beauty and grace. His command of the English language is simply extraordinary. There is a touch of Gabriel Garcia Marquez' "magical realism" here, with a bit more realism and a bit less magic. The incredible situations, people, and... more info

| | 4. |  | A Dove of the East: And Other Stories
from Harvest Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Helprin truly is, as a friend observed, one of our greatest living writers. These stories are sublime and affecting. Katrina, Katrin' is as moving a story as I have read, and A Dove of the East does extra duty - it's a thought-provoking examination of the human condition on one level, and a look... more info

| | 6. |  | Memoir From Antproof Case
from Harvest Books
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
I began reading Mark Helprin's short stories when I was studying for my MFA-W. Then I picked up WINTER'S TALE. Flying horses, burglars and robbers who steal colors, gorgeous scenes of New York City when there were horses, snow, and inexplicable good guys and bad guys. I've read everything he's done... more info

| | 7. |  | Ellis Island and Other Stories
from Harvest Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Few writers can evoke a sense of place and mood like Helprin. The first story, "The Schreuderspitze", is as mystical and moving a story as you'll ever read. "Ellis Island" brings to mind the best of Issac Bashevis Singer. These are brilliant, mature, beautifully crafted tales by... more info

| | 8. |  | The Pacific and Other Stories
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.25
Customer Review:
This is a mixed collection of short stories reflecting many different moods. The stories range from the lighthearted to the dark. Many are set during wars, some are about survivors after wars. Il Colore Ritrovato is about a bookkeeper who becomes an impresario when he discovers a gifted singer;... more info

| | 9. |  | The Veil of Snows: 0
from Viking
Customer Review:
In "Veil" Mark Helprin and Chris Van Allsburgh offer up a mythic tale which, while dark, will disturb and delight readers of all ages (though the elegant, sometimes labrynthine prose style will probably appeal more to older, more sophisticated readers). This book (as well as its... more info

| | 10. |  | A City in Winter
from Viking/Ariel
Customer Review:
What a strange book this is! Part childrens' fairy tale (old school - bad things do happen to good people), part political satire, part fantasy, A City in Winter weaves an enchanting melody amidst its disconcordant environment.
I'm not sure who the target audience is - the illustrations... more info
