The novel by the American Mark Helprin is indeed a fairy tale. If the story of the tramp and robber Peter Lake, who is in love with the terminally ill millionaire’s daughter Beverly, can still claim to be true, then it is impossible to believe in the entourage created by the writer.
The novel by the American Mark Helprin is indeed a fairy tale. If the story of the tramp and robber Peter Lake, who is in love with the terminally ill millionaire’s daughter Beverly, can still claim to be true, then it is impossible to believe in the entourage created by the writer. The action of Helprin’s book takes place in New York, but this magical mirage has only a couple of place names in common with the real city. And of course, it is this fabulous place that turns out to be the perfect backdrop for the mystery of great and invincible love.
