This is an automatically translated description

O. Henry is a world-recognised master of the small genre, thanks to whom the short story genre has 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 "The Gifts of the Magi", which open this collection, are some of 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, Vitaliy Luk’yanenko and Lucas.
