The Pocket Book of O. Henry Stories

Harry Hansen - 1901

Henry is one of the most widely published of modern authors. His works-more than six hundred stories-have been translated into nearly every language. Although his first literary success took Latin America for its setting, he is best known for his tales about the people of New York City- "Baghdad-on-the-Subway" -stories that are inventive, ironic, and surprisingly contemporary. This collection of O. Henry's works contain 30 of his best-loved pieces, including the eternal Christmas classic "The Gift of the Magi."

Plays 2: The Dance of Death / A Dream Play / The Stronger

August Strindberg - 1901

The second volume in the series of authoritative Methuen editions of Strindberg's Collected PlaysThis volume contains two of Strindberg's best-known plays from the years following his mental breakdown: the expressionist masterpiece A Dream Play (1901), which he described as 'my most beloved play, child of my greatest pain'; and both parts of The Dance of Death (1900), a terrifying analysis of a tormented marriage: 'it leaves an astonishing, an almost unaccountable, impression of genius … as a beggar's cloak full of holes may have a kind of majestic beauty when the wind fills it, so this broken drama, having unmistakably the winds of vision in it, has beauty and dignity and power' (The Times, 1928).

Also included is his earlier short play The Stronger (1889), a fascinating study of the power of personality."Michael Meyer is the translator most actors turn to when seeking a definitive text" (Sunday Times)
