Summary

Despite not the most cheerful conditions for creativity, the American William Sidney Porter entered the history of world literature as a master of short stories, which are distinguished by the invariable subtle humor and optimism. He formed as a writer in prison, where he went on charges of embezzlement. It was there that his well-known pseudonym, O. Henry, appeared. Perhaps it is the qualities he contrasted with the harsh reality that still make him a “kindred spirit” with people of different cultures and generations.Content:- The Trimmed Lamp- No Story- Roads of Destiny- The Cop and the Anthem- The Chair of a Philanthromathematics- The Octopus Marooned- Lost on Dress Parade- Makes the Whole World Kin- Jimmy Hayes and Muriel- Vanity and Some Sables
