One Thousand Dollars and Other Plays
A level 2 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by John Escott. Money or love? Which is more important in life? Can money buy anything? Can it help a young man to marry the girl he loves? Does money really make people happy, or does it just cause problems? These four plays about money, love, and life are adapted from short stories written a hundred years ago by the great American storyteller O. Henry. Henry had his own difficulties with money and loneliness, and wrote from personal experience.
New Yorkers
A level 2 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Diane Mowat. A housewife, a tramp, a lawyer, a waitress, an actress – ordinary people living ordinary lives in New York at the beginning of the twentieth century. The city has changed greatly since that time, but its people are much the same. Some are rich, some are poor, some are happy, some are sad, some have found love, some are looking for love. O. Henry's famous short stories – sensitive, funny, sympathetic – give us vivid pictures of the everyday lives of these New Yorkers.
100 valitud novelli. 6. raamat
O. Henry kuueosalise 100 valitud novelli kogu kuues raamat – läbilõige ühe Ameerika parima novellikirjutaja lühijuttudest. Autor kirjeldab ühesuguse meisterlikkusega nii elu eelmisel sajandivahetusel Rio Grandest lõunas kui ka nelja miljoni New Yorgi tavakodaniku käitumist ja mõttemaailma. Tema jutustusi iseloomustavad juhuste kokkusattumine, ootamatu lõpp, inimlik kaastunne ja peen huumor, mis tegid O. Henry novellid eelmisel sajandil nii populaarseks.
