Synopsis

O. Henry, the author of "The Last Leaf", is one of the most outstanding short story writers in the United States and even the world's literary world. Most of his works depict the hardship, bitterness and helplessness of ordinary people, with a relaxed style of writing, humorous language, and are famous for their unexpected endings. This selection is based on the translator's reading of all 284 of the author's works and carefully selected thirty of them based on the reading and appreciation habits of Chinese readers. In addition to representative works such as "The Last Leaf" and "The Policeman and the Hymn", the translator also selected some works that are rarely seen in other selections, thus more comprehensively reflecting the author's creative style. In addition, the translator also cleverly divided it into five themes, namely "Social Situation Novels", "Love Romance Novels", "Rogue Liar Novels", "Detective Mystery Novels" and "Philosophical Symbol Novels". This is also a highlight of this anthology that is different from other anthologies.

Reader comments

This book is very good! I especially like the characters in it, like the old painter in "The Last Leaf". What he said, "When the last leaf falls, it's time for me to go too" really touched me. This is a book full of warmth and humor, which allowed me to see the daily life of ordinary people and feel the tenacity and beauty of life.
