O. Henry

    William Sydney Porter, známejší pod pseudonymom O. Henry, bol majstrom prekvapivých zápletiek, pričom inšpiráciu pre svoje postavy často čerpal zo svojho búrlivého života. Jeho diela odrážajú hlasy a jazyk svojej doby a často sa zameriavajú na postavy z okraja spoločnosti. Autorov osobitý štýl spočíva v nečakaných zvratoch a dojemných pohľadoch na ľudskú povahu. Prostredníctvom svojich poviedok skúmal iróniu života a jeho nečakané obraty, čím si získal srdcia čitateľov po celom svete.
