The Gift of the Magi (collection)
13 hrs. 58 min.
Description
The heroes of O. Henry’s stories are sometimes “small people” of big New York, sometimes frivolous and cheerful artists and writers, sometimes guys from a rough bandit district and their touchingly loyal girlfriends, sometimes inhabitants of the Wild West—cowboys and farmers—and they invariably become dear to all readers. And the phrases from his stories—“Bolivar won’t stand for two,” “I’ll make it to the Canadian border,” and even the titles of the stories themselves: “The Chief of the Redskins,” “The Roads We Take,” “The Ransom of Red Chief” (or “The Trust that Got Away”)—have become catchphrases and firmly entered our everyday life!
This collection includes 39 stories: “Gifts of the Magi,” “In the Interval,” “In the Attic,” “For the Love of Art,” “Heart and the Cross,” “The Ransom,” “The Telemachus Friend,” “Hymen’s Handbook,” “Burning Lamp,” “Scheherazade in Madison Square,” “The Pendulum,” “The Luck of the Roamer,” “Voice of the Big City,” “An Hour of Full Life,” “How Daugherty Saw the Light,” “The Trust that Broke,” “Jeff Peters as a Personal Magnet,” “The Entertainments of a Modern Village,” “The Third Ingredient,” “How Black Bill Was Hiding,” “Supply and Demand,” “A Question of Altitude Above Sea Level,” “Costume and Hat in the Light of Sociology,” “Business Men,” “Day of Resurrection,” “The Fifth Wheel,” “Roads of Fate,” “Road Left,” “Road Right,” “The Main Road,” “A Magic Profile,” “Detectives,” “Wizards’ Bread,” “The Train Robbery,” “Kindred Souls,” “Fog in San Antonio,” “Sparrows in Madison Square.”
