There are few writers in the world, whose glory, like O. Henry (1869-1910), would not have compiled novels and novels, but small stories. Just novels - however, he wrote a lot - but without looking at them it is impossible to imagine the entire American classics of the twentieth century, from Scott Fitzgerald and Hemingway to Faulkner and Salinger. “The Russian reader reads Henry, because it is fun to read it, and appreciates in it what our literature is so lacking - the dexterity of the structure, the funny plot positions and denouement, compression and speed of action,” Boris Eichenbaum noted in 1925. But among Russian readers, naturally, writers were. So on the Odessa stories of Babel or "Twelve Chairs" and the Golden Calf" Ilf and Petrov lies the reflection of the stories of O. Henry. Under the influence of his aesthetics, the “gold standard” of the future cinema was also created, and in its most diverse genres - in a steep western, and in the melodrama, and in comedy. “Life consists of sobs, sobs and smiles, with a predominance of sobs,” the great novelist once wrote. In the emotions of his readers - both previous and present - smiles prevail
