Produktbeschreibung
The Four Million is a collection of twenty five short stories written by American author William Sydney Porter, better known by his pen name O. Henry. O. Henry was a comedic writer known for his sharp wit, clever wordplay, and unpredictable twist endings. The Four Million is a collection of stories all set in New York City in the early twentieth century. The stories vary between first and third person accounts, and feature central characters from all walks of life, including one story narrated by a dog. Henry is a writer with an ear for dialogue, and he brings his characters to life with words that jump off the page. This collection features the authors most well known short story, Gift of the Magi, as well as other standouts including The Cop and the Anthem, After Twenty Years, and By Courier. O. Henry was a popular writer during his day, and this collection demonstrates that his work is deserving of the accolades it has received. Henry´s wit is perhaps his greatest attribute, and he populates his New York City with clever and quirky characters. Both humorous and illuminating, this collection shines a light on human nature while entertaining the reader. The Four Million is a brilliant collection of many of O. Henry´s best short stories. It is a book that will appeal to all readers, both those familiar with the author´s work and those new to the writings of the greatest short story writer of his era.
