Ellis Island & Other Stories by Mark Helprin (.ePUB)

Title: Ellis Island & Other Stories
Author: Mark Helprin
File Format: .ePUB reader
Description: This novella and ten stories are capable of working a fierce and beautiful magic. From the turn-of-the-century immigrant in “Ellis Island” whose overactive imagination and unshakable confidence get him in and out of trouble, to the photographer who tries to escape his grief in a desperate assault on the high Alps in “The Schreuderspitze” here is honest humor and amazing truth… and the kind of masterly storytelling that transforms folktales and visions into timeless art.

“Rarely less than breathtaking, every single story sings with purity, vibrates with light” says The Plain Dealer (Cleveland). The Washington Post praises Ellis Island as “one of the best collections of short fiction… a celebration of the transforming power of the imagination” The Baltimore Sun has said that Mark Helprin “writes with the ease and assurance of… Graham Greene or Sean O’Faoláin” and urges: “Read this book. It will delight, open, and elevate you!”
