The Ransom of Red Chief and Other Stories / O. Henry. — Kyiv : Znannia, 2016. — 254 p. — (English Library).
O. Henry, an American writer of distinction, perhaps, as nobody else, can draw up a short story, create exquisite inner tension. The impression is formed as if his stories were being written as easily as they are being read — in one breath. A reader easily goes down in the book: having been immersed in its elements it is difficult to leave them, get out of this stream which carries him into the unconceivable worlds, takes his fancy, embarrasses him, disturbs his peace and quiet by unexpected pictures of the birth of good even in the hearts of fierce felons, or people who are absolutely not disposed or inclined to perform good acts.
