My Favorite Writer.
My favorite foreign writer is O.Henry. He was born in 1862. O.Henry is one
of the most widely published American authors. His works have been
translated into many languages. The best of his stories were published in
books: ''Cabbages and Kings'', "The 4 million", "Heart of West" and others.
His credo was-art should be true, democratic, it should address
contemporary life and embrace all aspects of life. O.Henry was an
outstanding humorist. He worked out and enriched all the types of the short
story: the anecdote, the adventure story, tales and sketches. He was most
famous for his stories of city life. O.Henry wrote about 150 stories with a
New York background. He was a born writer of great talent. In childhood I
was deeply impressed by his story "The Last Leaf". Since then I bear in my
heart the image of a young girl suffering from serious illness and her
friends doing everything they can do to give her hope and bring her back to
life. The author penetrates deeply into a person's soul and reveals its
best qualities. His love for humanity, for common people, for critical
attitude towards injustice attracts readers to this day.
