A Retrieved Reformation
Author: O. Henry
Publisher: Lindhardt og Ringhof
ISBN: 8726587629
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 8
Book Description
Do you believe that people can change? Can a bank robber marry the banker’s daughter without having any hidden thoughts and intentions? "A Retrieved Reformation" tells the story of Jimmy, a formal prisoner, who decides to quit violating the law in the name of love. He takes up a new identity and starts a new life as an honorable man. However he is about to face a choice which can cost him his future. Will he sacrifice himself in order to save a child in danger or he will prefer to keep his old identity in secret? William Sydney Porter, better known as O. Henry, was an American writer who lived in the late 19th century. He gains wide popularity with his short stories which often take place either in New York or some small American towns. The plot twists and the surprise endings are a typical and integral part of O. Henry’s short stories. Some of his best known works are "The Gift of the Magi", "The Cop and the Anthem", "A Retrieved Reformation". His stories often deal with ordinary people and the individual aspects of life. As a result of the outstanding literature legacy that O. Henry left behind, there is an American annual award after his name, given to exceptional short stories.

O. Henry Papers
Author: O. Henry
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781410207869
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
This book is a collection, an assembly, gathered from many sources of the most intimate and significant of the O. Henry memoirs. They will give a glimpse of the little known life of Sydney Porter, and the alphabetical index will be a convenient guide to his works. The authoritative "O. Henry Biography," by Professor C. Alphonso Smith of the United States Naval Academy was published in 1916. Many years earlier the plans for this book were laid by Harry Peyton Steger, a friend of Sydney Porter's who visited, in 1912, every haunt of O. Henry in the South and brought to light a quantity of the dijecta membra of O. Henry's early literary efforts. These were later collected in the volume called Rolling Stones. Steger's faith in the ultimate position which O. Henry would occupy in American literature was of the type which moves mountains. He was an indefatigable worker for the spread of O. Henry's fame after he died, and probably did more than any other individual to lay the foundations of O. Henry's popularity. The article by George MacAdam, O. Henry's only interviewer, is new material, now printed in full for the first time. The sketches by Arthur Page and Richard Duffy are reprinted from The Bookman.
