Henry (William Sidney Porter, 1862—1910), besides the story “The Ransom of Red Chief” includes such masterpieces of his creative heritage as “The Indian Summer of Dry Valley Johnson” “A Blackjack Bargainer” "A Retrieved Reformation” and others. Many of them were screened more than once. Behind the alternation of adventures and situations, humor, irony or sarcasm, there expressively arise the author’s reflections on human being, their aspirations for love, kindness, and happiness. The author’s inexhaustible creative imagination strikes the reader. As a rule, his stories have a sudden ending. They enrapture and move, and what is most important, they always bear optimism and give hope Additional Access Points: Porter William Sydney Number of copies: 1 ІЛ (1) Free: ІЛ (1) |
O-37 O.Henry The Gentle Grafter [Text] / O.Henry. - Kyiv : Znannia, 2017. - 191 p. - (American Library). - ISBN 978-617-07-0458-0
Annotation: "The Gentle Grafter" is one of the best collections of the stories by the well-known American writer O. Henry (1862—1910). The stories are united by the through characters — companions Jeff Peters and Andy Tucker. Both of them earn their living by small-time roguery, exploiting such human vices as meanness, cupidity, credulity, foolishness and vanity. The wonder of it is that the main heroes are also endowed with some positive features: the devotion to friendship, the ability to love, the observation of a peculiar code of honor. Sometimes they take the bait of the more crafty "colleagues" which endows the collection with special color. The stories are well written, filled with irony, humor, and hints; they thrill the reader and arouse bright feelings Additional Access Points: Porter William Sydney Number of copies: 1 ІЛ (1) Free: ІЛ (1) |
