New York City is subsumed in arctic winds, dark nights, and white lights, its life unfolds, for it is an extraordinary hive of the imagination, the greatest house ever built, and nothing exists that can check its vitality.

One night in winter, Peter Lake--orphan and master-mechanic, attempts to rob a fortress-like mansion on the Upper West Side. Though he thinks hte house is empty, the daughter of the house is home. Thus begins the love between Peter Lake, a middle-aged Irish burglar, and Beverly Penn, a young girl, who is dying. Peter Lake, a simple, uneducated man, because of a love that, at first he does not fully understand, is driven to stop time and bring back the dead. His great struggle, in a city ever alight with its own energy and beseiged by unprecedented winters, is one of the most beautiful and extraordinary stories of American literature. 馬克·哈普林（Mark Helprin）乃淚盛，1947年生於紐約曼哈頓，美國著名小說家墊譽膠諒、記者、時事評論員。他是體請辯拔電影人和百老匯演員之子，《紐約客》二十年的老作者，習慣在境歸自己維吉尼亞州祖傳的五十六英畝農場裡寫作。馬克·哈普林已經出版了十四部作品，其中奇幻小說《冬日傳奇》是他最著名的作品。這部作品萌芽於四十年前，當時的紐約如此寒冷，以至於兵符艱有人說新的冰河期要來了。為了寫這本書，一兩年之內，馬克·哈普林每天穿過紐約曼哈頓，有時一天就要走二十英里。《冬日傳奇》不是用筆寫成的，而是用一雙厚底鞋寫成的，裡面包涵了馬享全連克·哈普林所看到、聽到、感覺到的一少辣辯切，《紐約時報書評》稱之為“絕對出色的新作品”。
