Sobre este artículo
New York: The Penguin Press, 2004. First Edition . Soft cover. Very Fine. Writing with the soul of a poet Helprin's presents 16 stories that are, some lighthearted fables and some starker tales that resonate with sacrifice and duty. Although many stories are of the present, the pre-World War II past and its simpler way of life return with regularity to haunt a modern world that has slighted tranquility and reflection. A resplendent, engulfing, powerful collection of lasting substance and emotional impact. --Penguin Press. Comes with the Publisher's press release. An excellent book that a 'Completist' must have.
Sinopsis
At long last, almost ten years since his previous book, Mark Helprin returns with The Pacific and Other Stories , a collection of sixteen stories that display the remarkable scope, incomparable wit, and deft prose that have come to be his signature. A British paratrooper jumps into occupied territory; the 1958 New York Yankees gain an unexpected teammate in a puny, teenaged Hasidic Jew; a September 11th widow receives an astonishing gift from the contractor working on her new apartment—these and other stories exhibit the constantly changing variety of the ocean itself, the peaks and troughs of life. Lighthearted, glittering fables are met with starker tales that sound the depths of sacrifice and duty. The Pacific and Other Stories is a resplendent, powerful collection of lasting substance and emotional import.
