Presented to the reader is a collection of short stories by one of the most remarkable figures of American literature, O. Henry (1862–1910). This volume brings together 40 of his tales, where gentle humor and satire intertwine with tragedy and heroism, compassion and humanity. True to the traditions of the genre, O. Henry’s stories almost always end with a twist. Yet thanks to his talent, the surprise feels not mechanical (a mere tribute to form), but utterly convincing—arising naturally, as if a reflection of life’s own truth.
