Publisher Description
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.

About O. Henry
O. Henry (1862–1910), born William Sydney Porter in Greensboro, North Carolina, was a short-story writer whose tales romanticized the commonplace, in particular, the lives of ordinary people in New York City. His stories often had surprise endings, a device that became identified with his name. He began writing sketches around 1887, and his stories of adventure in the Southwest United States and in Central America were immediately popular with magazine readers.
