Heart of Sunset - O. Henry (9789660385856)

O. Henry (1862-1910) is the pseudonym of William Sydney Porter, one of the most popular classics of secular literature. Banking officer Porter, sentenced to three times for lack of pennies, having written his first report to a correspondent under a pseudonym. At the heart of about 300 creations are unimaginable stories from a rich life and mantras, from the stories of friends and occasional companions.

O. Henry's novels are a fundamentally American phenomenon that grew out of national literary and travel traditions. These are small stories of ordinary people: farmers, clerks, salesmen, other adventurers, tramps. The reader spontaneously sings to the heroes - the funny ones with adventure stories about the Wild Sunset (“The Heart of the Sunset”), the romantic shahrays (“The Gentry Shakhrai”, “Kings and Cabbage”), the “little Americans” who are searching for their dreams on the streets of the metropolis (“ The voice of the great city”, “Chotiri milyoni”, “Ready Svitich”).
