Memoir from Antproof Case - Hardcover
From the bestselling author of A Winter's Tale and A Soldier of the Great War comes a work of astounding prose. Helprin combines adventure, satire, flights of transcendence, and high comedy with memories of a place that no longer exists to tell the story of a man who, in the face of the world's cruelty, refuses to stop loving.

Book Description Cloth. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition, First Printing. New York, NY, Harcourt-Brace, 1995. First edition, first printing. 8vo. Brown cloth with gilt lettering embossed in spine, 514 pp. An old American who lives in Brazil is writing his memoirs. An English teacher at the naval academy, he is married to a woman who is young enough to be his daughter and has a little son whom he adores. He sits in a mountain garden in Niteroi, overlooking the ocean and carries with him a Walther P-88. As he reminisces and writes, placing the pages in his antproof case, we learn that he was a World War II ace who was shot down twice; an investment banker who met with popes and presidents; a multimillionaire; and a man who was never not in love. He was the thief of the century, a murderer, and a protector of the innocent. In his adolescence he spent years in an insane asylum in Switzerland. And all his life, he waged a valiant, one-sided, one-man battle against the world's most insidious enslaver: coffee. New in a new dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover.
