The famous American writer O. Henry (William Sydney Porter) is the author of popular short stories, a master of original plot twists, colorful dialogues, and astonishing conclusions. The writer's creative legacy comprises over six hundred novellas, representing something akin to a humorous encyclopedia of American life at the beginning of the 20th century. However, O. Henry's sketches respond as well as ever to what we observe in modern life. Exceptionally entertaining and witty, O. Henry's stories remain a living classic... This volume includes the famous story "Kings and Cabbage," consisting of adventurous-humorous novellas set in Latin America, as well as two complete author's collections: "The Burning Lamp" and "Roads of Destiny." Many stories are presented in new translations. The edition is accompanied by rare illustrations by the remarkable Soviet artist Grigory Filippovsky (1909–1987), as well as drawings from American editions of the first half of the 20th century.
