An English teacher at the naval academy, he is married to a woman young enough to be his daughter and has a little son whom he loves. He sits in a mountain garden in Niterói, overlooking the ocean.As he reminisces and writes, placing the pages carefully 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, and a man who was never not in love. He was the thief of the century, a murderer, and a protector of the innocent. And all his life he waged a valiant, losing, one-man battle against the worlds most insidious enslaver: coffee.Mark Helprin combines adventure, satire, flights of transcendence, and high comedy in this \"memoir\" of a man whose life reads like the song of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666154848544,"sku":"NEW0156032007","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Kf2nMR3NL.jpg?v=1778922368","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/memoir-from-antproof-case-0156032007","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
