Children s fantasy novel reviewed by Chris and Jennifer Goheen.

The Veil of Snows
Mark Helprin; illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg
Viking Childrens Books, 128 pages
A review by Jennifer Goheen In olden times a Queen and an usurper fight for control of a kingdom. The story is narrated by a singer of old songs. At first the usurper is in control and he summons the narrator to ask him to change his songs. The narrator refuses and is thrown in a dungeon. Luckily, the Queen's army soon conquers the usurper and the narrator is released from jail and joins the Queen's guards. The Queen has to deal with the greedy, stupid and selfish Tookisheims, who don't like the way she rules and who say bad things about her in their newspapers. They find a small girl who has seen the usurper destroy her village. Pretty soon the tricky usurper returns with a large army and the narrator has to make a plan to save the city. When the Queen has to choose between a man's life or her kingdom's fate, which does she choose? There are many bloody battles before the surprising ending. This book had a good plot, interesting characters and a great ending. Most of the main characters are never given names, which makes them more mysterious. The Queen and the narrator are brave, wise and proud, while the Tookisheims and the usurper are evil and greedy. There is a lot of description, but not a lot of dialogue. The story is sad at times but hopeful at the end. The pictures are colorful and realistic and they do a good job of describing the story.

    Why We Love Mark Helprin (IV)
    The problem with war, as I have seen it, is not so much that it makes misery and grief - all of which would tend to come anyway, in time. The sin is in the abruptness, in the abridgement of those stages that otherwise might be joined so brilliantly to make a life. A Soldier of the Great War, X (La Rondine, p. 802) posted by Franklin D. Rosenfeld at 1:58 AM

    Mark Helprin, Freddy and Fredericka (Penguin Press, 2005) Mark Helprin's new novel (his first in a decade) is about two characters who may be very intelligent (or very stupid); it details their adventures when they are forced into an unfamiliar land (or it does not); it is a pure farce with humor bordering occasionally on slapstick (or it is a withering social commentary); it is a delicate romance (or it is a powerful statement on contemporary politics in not one but two nations); it is a book that celebrates the English monarchy (or skewers it with almost angry glee); it is a book that lovingly pokes fun at American presidential politics (or ruthlessly savages them); it maddeningly indulges linguistic wordplay for pages at a time (or it showcases some of the most beautiful pure language I've read in quite some time); it contains magic (or it does not); it's a book that had me often wondering why the hell I was reading it at all (and then would, within five pages, remind me). Freddy and Fredericka is all of those things.

    Re: the wiki page linked under the word "rebuttal": it's fascinating to visit it every hour or so and watch a group of people attempt to use a wiki-style page for a purpose for which such pages aren't well suited (the coherent expression of a single opinion, as opposed to a series of facts).

      biography: In other words, Mark Helprin is a badass. Alessandro Giuliani, the old man, was once a professor of aesthetics in Rome before World War I intervenes. Before the war, he stands against the machinations bringing Europe to the edge of disaster, but as everyone he knows and loves is sucked into the war with Austria Giuliani is forced to the front. His heroic service and gifts as a soldier take him from Sicily to the Alps to Hungarian Plains. The Tempest (pictured above) when his life seems at its darkest points. A Soldier of a Great War can take a while to get through, but few novels in my short life have been as engrossing as this one.

    http://members.aol.com/dmchess/www/ellisi.html
    Review of Mark Helprin's "Ellis Island and other stories" Brilliant, lovely stories; go out and get this book at once. Still here? OK. "Winter's Tale" was my first Mark Helprin book. I thought it was the perfect novel, glorious and mysterious, realistic and magical, funny and strange and wondrous and sad. If anything, it was too much of a good thing; like spending all day at the carnival. The stories in "Ellis Island and other stories" are the same entrancing medicine, but in smaller doses. Don't let the big "Ellis Island" on the cover, and the grainy black-and-white picture of a ship approaching the Statue of Liberty, scare you off; this is not mundane history, or even historical fiction. The stories are not all about immigrants, or Europe, or the War, although those threads do run through some of them. The title story is the longest, placed last in the book, and it is about the Ellis Island, and the I can do nothing like justice to the rest of the stories in the amount of time I can plausibly extract from you. Some vague ideas: in "The Schreuderspitze", a photographer deals with tragedy in the luminous Alps; in "Letters from the Samantha ", strange events on an iron-hulled sailing ship in 1879 involve questions of humanity and guilt; in "Martin Bayer" a small boy is a small boy, on the eve of war; in "North Light" and "A Room of Frail Dancers" we see what entering, and leaving, battle does to soldiers. "La Volpaia" is wonderfully witty, and "Tamar" is simply lovely. These glib little descriptions have already done enough damage; I will restrain myself from sullying "White Gardens" and "Palais de Justice": you simply have to read them.

    Submitted by kfogel on Tue, 2007-05-22 01:35. A ton of people wrote in to point out Mark Helprin's Op-Ed article in this Sunday's New York Times ( ); some of them suggested writing a response. So I've written one, and sent it in to the New York Times editors. As we have no problem with right-of-first-print arrangements here :-), I'm waiting to hear back from the NYT before posting it on this site. The NYT will let us know within a week if they're going to run it. [Update: they didn't run it, so it's posted here now.]

    Facts like these assert themselves through every kind of historical fluctuation, even if America now sees Germany, the way stop for airlifters en route to Iraq and Afghanistan, as a kind of giant aircraft carrier with sausages. But Germany is no doubt the subject of far deeper consideration on the one hand by Russia and on the other by Jihadists. The line from Paris to Moscow, which has been traveled from west to east by the French, east to west by the Russians, and in both directions by the Germans, is a road that invariably attracts continental powers on the brink of military predominance whether in fact or the imagination. During the Cold War it was responsibly fortified and blocked, but no longer. Whereas in 1989 we kept in Europe 325,000 troops, 5,000 tanks, 25 operating air bases, and 1,000 combat aircraft, we now keep approximately a fifth of that. Whereas the Germans in 1989 could field a half-million men and 5,000 tanks, they now can deploy less than half that number.

    Editorial May 2003 by: Mackubin T. Owens Mark Helprin always makes me examine my assumptions, even when I am pretty sure I don’t completely agree with him. His article " Analyze This " in the May 5 National Review is a case in point. I agree with his criticism of the abandonment by the Pentagon of the "two major-theater war" (2MTW) metric for force planners and with his concern that certain parties will use bogus "lessons" of Iraq and Afghanistan to push their agendas. But much of the rest of the piece left me wondering. As I read him, I can only conclude that he doesn’t really believe that 1) wars should be subject to political judgments, a conclusion that would surprise Carl von Clausewitz; and 2) war has changed since 1945. Let me address our areas of agreement first. As I argued in January on NRO, there was a case for abandoning the 2MTW standard because it "had evolved into a bureaucratic tool for maintaining service and combatant commanders’ claims to the defense budget and for protecting favored programs. It had therefore become, as a number of defense intellectuals claimed, a substitute for strategic thinking… [But force planners still must answer] the question, ’How much is enough?’"
