Oh. Henry is a world-renowned master of the small genre, thanks to which the genre of storytelling experienced its dawn... The heroes of his stories are very diverse: workers, artists, millionaires, clerks, engineers, and the plots surprise with their diversity and vitality, but they also have something in common - an unexpected ending that makes the reader think. The stories "The Last Leaf" and "Gifts of the Magi", which open this collection, are among the most poignant lyrical works of O. Henry, in which humanity and self-sacrifice overcome life's difficulties and even tragic circumstances. Translated into Ukrainian by Yulia Shmatko, Vitaly Lukyanenko and Lukas.
