欧亨利短篇小说选--欧·亨利的代表作品是《麦琪的礼物》、《警察与赞美诗》和《最后一片叶子》。其著名小说还有《黄雀在后》、《市政报告》、《配供家具的客房》、《双料骗子》等,真实准确的细节描写,生动简洁的语言使一系列栩栩如生的艺术形象展现在读者面前,也使他在世界短篇小说史上占有重要位置。他的作品构思奇巧,文字生动活泼,经常运用俚语、双关语、讹音、谐音和旧典新意。其中短篇小说中占有较大比例、值得重视的是描写美国大城市、尤其是纽约生活的作品。
This collection of 100 of O Henry’s finest stories is a showcase for the sheer variety of one of America’s best and best-loved short story writers. The variety of the stories is amazing; O Henry is as at home describing life south of the Rio Grande as he is chronicling the activities and concerns of ’the four million’ ordinary citizens who inhabited turn--of-the-century New York。They are marked by coincidence and surprise endings as well as the compassion and high humour that have made O Henry’s stories popular for the last century。
