Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Side-Lights on American Literature The apparition of O. Henry is the most extraordinary literary phenomenon of the new century. He and Jack London emerged almost at the same moment, unheralded, full-grown, sudden: few arrivals in all literature have been so startling. Hardly had we learned his real name before he was filling the whole sky. He was William Sydney Porter, we were told, a native of North Carolina who had had wild experiences as a cow-boy on the ranches of the Southwest. He had been adventurer, we gathered, tramp, knight-errant of the chaparral in the roughest areas of that wildest West so swiftly passing into tradition, and now he had sent East stirring tales of adventure: another Bret Harte, up to date, breezy, original. And his earliest specimens in the magazines seemed to bear out the report. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
