O. Henry (1862-1910) - pseudonym of William Sydney PorterProlific American short-story writer, a master of surprise endings, who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. Typical for O. Henry's stories is a twist of plot which turns on an ironic or coincidental circumstance. Although some critics were not so enthusiastic about his work, the public loved it.O. Henry was born William Sydney Porter in Greenboro, North Carolina. His father, Algernon Sidney Porter, was a physician. When William was three, his mother died, and he was raised by his parental grandmother and paternal aunt. William was an avid reader, but at the age of fifteen he left school, and then worked in a drug store and on a Texas ranch. He continued to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of bank clerk. After moving in 1882 to Texas, he worked on a ranch in LaSalle County for two years. In 1887 he married Athol Estes Roach; they had one daughter and one son.In 1894 Porter started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone. It was at this time that he began heavy drinking. When the weekly failed, he joined the Houston Post as a reporter and columnist. In 1894 cash was found to have gone missing from the First National Bank in Austin, where Porter had worked as a bank teller. When he was called back to Austin to stand trial, Porter fled to Honduras to avoid trial. Little is known about Porter's stay in Central America. It is said, that he met one Al Jennings, and rambled in South America and Mexico on the proceeds of Jenning's robbery. After hearing news that his wife was dying, he returned in 1897 to Austin. In 1897 he was convicted of embezzling money, although there has been much debate over his actual guilt. Porter entered in 1898 a penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio.In 1907 O. Henry married Sara Lindsay Coleman, also born in Greensboro. The marriage was not happy, and they separated a year later. O. Henry died of cirrhosis of the liver on June 5, 1910, in New York. Three more collections, SIXES AND SEVENS (1911), ROLLING STONES (1912) and WAIFS AND STRAYS (1917), appeared posthumously. In 1918 the O. Henry Memorial Awards were established to be given annually to the best magazine stories, the winners and leading contenders to be published in an annual volume.O. Henry was the pen name of American writer William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862–June 5, 1910), whose clever use of twist endings in his stories popularized the term "O. Henry Ending". His middle name at birth was Sidney, not Sydney; he later changed the spelling of his middle name when he first began writing as a journalist in the 1880s.Early lifeWilliam Sidney Porter was born in 1862 on a plantation "Worth Place" in Greensboro, North Carolina. When William was three, his mother died from tuberculosis, and he and his father moved to the home of his paternal grandmother.William was an avid reader, and graduated from his aunt's elementary school in 1876, then enrolled at the Linsey Street High School. In 1879 he started working as a bookkeeper in his uncle's drugstore and in 1881 – at the age of nineteen – he was licensed as a pharmacist.The Move to TexasHe relocated to Texas in 1882, initially working on a ranch in La Salle County as a sheep herder and ranch hand, then Austin where he took a number of different jobs over the next several years, including pharmacist, draftsman, journalist, and clerk. While in Texas he also learned Spanish.In 1887 he eloped with Athol Estes, then eighteen years old and from a wealthy family. Her family objected to the match because both she and Porter suffered from tuberculosis. Athol gave birth to a son in 1888, who died shortly after birth, and then a daughter, Margaret, in 1889.In 1894 Porter started a humorous weekly called The Rolling Stone. Also in 1894, Porter resigned from the First National Bank of Austin where he had worked as a teller, after he was accused of embezzling funds. In 1895, after The Rolling Stone ceased publication, he moved to Houston, where he started writing for the Houston Post. Shortly thereafter, he was arrested for embezzlement in connection with his previous employment in Austin.Flight and ReturnPorter was granted bond, but the day before he was due to stand trial on July 7, 1896, he absconded to New Orleans and later to Honduras. However, in 1897, when he learned that his wife was dying, he returned to the United States and surrendered to the court, pending an appeal.Athol Estes Porter died July 25, 1897. Porter was found guilty of embezzlement, sentenced to five years jail, and imprisoned April 25, 1898 at the Ohio State Penitentiary. He was released on July 24, 1901 for good behaviour after serving three years.Origin of Pen NamePorter published at least twelve stories while in prison to help support his daughter. Not wanting his readers to know he was in jail, he started using the pen name "O. Henry". It is believed that Porter got this name from one of the guards who was named Orrin Henry. However, there is much debate on this issue: one Porter biographer asserts that the name was derived from a girlfriend's cat, which answered to "Oh, Henry!" Guy Davenport, meanwhile, wrote that the name was a condensation of "Ohio Penitentiary". It also could be an abbreviation of the name of French pharmacist, Etienne-Ossian Henry, who is referred to in the U.S. Dispensatory, a reference work Porter used when he was in the prison pharmacy. Further confusing the issue is that for at least one short story, and for a later autobiographical author profile, Porter signed the "full" name Olivier Henry.Porter also used a number of other noms de plume, most notably "Alex, Longford", and continued using a variety of pen names full-time when he took a writing contract for Ainslee's Magazine in New York City shortly after hisrelease from prison. Eventually, "O. Henry" became the name that was most recognized by magazine editors and the reading public, and therefore led to the greatest fees for story sales. Accordingly, after about 1903 Porter used the "O. Henry" byline exclusively.In fact, after his prison term Porter almost never identified himself in print by his real name, even in private correspondence to close friends. To editors, he was simply O. Henry (or occasionally Olivier Henry). When writing to friends, however, he would routinely sign his letters with one of a wide range of deliberately nonsensical pseudonyms, such as "Horatio Swampwater".A Brief Stay At The TopPorter married again in 1907 to his childhood sweetheart, Sarah Lindsey Coleman. However, despite the success of his short stories being published in magazines and collections (or perhaps because of the attendant pressure success brought), Porter became an alcoholic. Sarah left him in 1909, and he died in 1910 of cirrhosis of the liver. After funeral services in New York City, he was buried in Asheville, North Carolina. His daughter, Margaret Worth Porter, died in 1927 and was buried with her father.Attempts were made to secure a presidential pardon for Porter during the administrations of Woodrow Wilson, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. However, each attempt was met with the assertion that the Justice Department did not recommend pardons after death. This policy was clearly altered during the administration of Bill Clinton (who pardoned Henry Flipper), so the question of a pardon for O. Henry may yet again see the light of day.StoriesO. Henry stories are famous for their surprise endings. He was called the American Guy De Maupassant. Both authors wrote twist endings, but O. Henry stories were much more playful and optimistic.Most of O.Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early years of the 20th century. Many take place in New York City, and deal for the most part with ordinary people: clerks, policemen, waitresses. His stories are also well known for witty narration.The Four Million (a collection of stories) opens with a reference to Ward McAllister's "assertion that there were only 'Four Hundred' people in New York City who were really worth noticing. But a wiser man has arisen—the censustaker—and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the 'Four Million'". To O. Henry, everyone in New York counted. He had an obvious affection for the city, which he called Baghdad on the Subway, and many of his stories are set there—but others are set in small towns and in other cities.His famous story A Municipal Report opens by quoting Frank Norris: "Fancy a novel about Chicago or Buffalo, let us say, or Nashville, Tennessee! There are just three big cities in the United States that are 'story cities' — New York, of course, New Orleans, and, best of the lot, San Francisco." Thumbing his nose at Norris, O. Henry sets the story in Nashville.Fundamentally a product of his time, O. Henry's work provides one of the best English examples of catching the entire flavor of an age. Whether roaming the cattle-lands of Texas, exploring the art of the "gentle grifter", or investigating the tensions of class and wealth in turn of the century New York, O. Henry had an inimitable hand for isolating some element of society and describing it with an incredible economy and grace of language. Some of his best andleast-known work resides in the collection "Cabbages and Kings", a series of stories which each explore some individual aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy South American town while each advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another in a complex structure which slowly explicates its own background even as it painstakingly erects a town which is one of the most detailed literary creations of the period.Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. O. Henry is so famous for his unexpected plot twists that this warning is especially important.A famous story of his, "The Gift of the Magi", concerns a young couple who are short of money but desperately want to buy each other Christmas gifts. Unbeknownst to Jim, Della sells her most valuable possession, her beautiful hair, in order to buy a platinum fob chain for Jim's watch; unbeknownst to Della, Jim sells his most valuable possession, his watch, to buy jeweled combs for Della's hair. The essential premise of this story has been copied, re-worked, parodied, and otherwise re-told countless times in the century since it was written.The Ransom of Red Chief concerns two men who kidnap a boy of ten. The boy turns out to be so bratty and obnoxious that the desperate men ultimately pay the boy's father two hundred and fifty dollars to take him back.The Cop and the Anthem concerns a New York City hobo named Soapy, who sets out to get arrested so he can spend the cold winter as a guest of the city jail. Despite efforts at petty theft, vandalism, disorderly conduct, and "mashing", Soapy fails to draw the attention of the police. Disconsolate, he pauses in frontof a church, where an organ anthem inspires him to clean up his life - whereupon he is promptly arrested for loitering.In A Retrieved Reformation, safecracker Jimmy Valntine gets a job in a small town bank to case it for a robbery. Unexpectedly, he falls in love with the banker's daughter, and decides to go straight. Just as he's about to leave to deliver his specialized tools to an old associate, a lawman who recognizes him arrives at the bank, and a child locks herself in the airtight vault. Knowing it will seal his fate, Valentine cracks open the safe to rescue the child - and the lawman lets him go.[edit] Cultural relationsO. Henry once said: "There are stories in everything. I've got some of my best yarns from park benches, lampposts, and newspaper stands." [citation needed]The O. Henry Awards are yearly prizes given to outstanding short stories.The O. Henry Pun-Off World Championships are held in May of each year in Austin, Texas, hosted by the city's O. Henry Museum.O. Henry is a household name in Russia, as his books enjoyed excellent translations and some of his stories were made into popular movies, the best known being, probably, "The Ransom of Red Chief". The phrase "Bolivar cannot carry double" from "The Roads We Take" has become a Russian proverbs, whose origin many Russians do not even recognize.O. Henry's first wife, Athol, was probably the model for Della[1].In 1952 a film featuring five O. Henry stories was made. The primary one from the critic's acclaim was "The Cop and the Anthem" starring Charles Laughton and Marilyn Monroe. The other stories are "The Clarion Call," "The Last Leaf," "The Ransom of Red Chief," and "The Gift of the Magi."There is an O. Henry Middle School in Austin.。

欧亨利简介（Ohenry introduction）O Henry (O Henry, 1862 ~ 1910), formerly known as William Sidney Porter (WilliamsydneyPorter), is one of the most famous American novelist, was praised by critics as Manhattan crown prose writer and the father of modern American short stories. He was born in Greensboro, North Carolina town of a family physician. His life is rich in the legend, the pharmacy apprentice cattle people, accountants and Land Bureau clerk, journalists, bank teller. When the bank teller, because the bank shortage of cash, in order to avoid interrogation, left home in exile in Honduras, China and america. Jailed for visiting his critically ill wife, he was jailed and served as a pharmacist in the prison clinic. When he worked in the bank, he had written experience and worked as a pharmacist in the prison clinic and began to write seriously. Prior to his release in 1901, he moved to New York to specialize in writing.O Henry is good at depicting American society, especially the life of the people in New York. His works are novel, humorous, and often end upset; because described many characters, full of life, known as the "Encyclopedia of American life humor". Representative works are novels, Chinese cabbage and king, four million, the road to destiny and so on. Some masterpieces such as "love sacrifice", "police and hymn", "furnished rooms", "gift of the Magi", "the last leaf" earned him a reputation in the world.Style IntroductionMention of O Henry's novels, people always used to describe his style of "laugh with tears, but think about those who lived ahumble, poor, helpless life of the little people, o. Henry in the novel will feel, if in such a situation," tearful "of course is easy, but how to laugh? But in O Henry's novels is haunted by a kind of sad mood, but not a hint of joy and hope. Even in the desperate situation where people can also find out the absurdity of life, to find humor in the helpless, sad experience in poetry, as the dark material is dotted with flowers, there is a hope, a comfort, a warm, life is beautiful, you can let them ride out the day after day, until destined end. And the end of this novel is created by O Henry himself. He always makes the most agreeable arrangements in the most unexpected way. Sometimes, this kind of fulfillment will make the former misfortune roses, and make the hardship become romantic, which makes people not sure that there is such a thing, but it must be the most promising thing.O Henry's writing has a profound basis in life. He should have a profound experience for misfortune. He lost his mother when he was young, and he was a genius in painting, but he had no way to develop. A famous male school says that as long as he draws school, he is admitted to school, free of tuition and free from board and lodging. He who has a passion for literature and art must be eager to be educated, but he can not do it. He has no book fees and installation fees, and he has to earn a living to support himself. His life is as an apprentice in a pharmacy, in West Texas cattle, do accounting, cartographer, reporter. Life requires much of him, but little grace, almost nothing. From his works can be seen in the pharmacist's knowledge and the local customs and practices but in addition to his aunt, the early enlightenment education he own education themselves, whether learning or life is helpless, in addition to the painno other favorable factors become a novelist, but he finally became a writer, he can imagine how experienced struggle. When he was a teller, he used to be absent-minded and painted at work, but he bought a magazine, published some works, and began his original literary creation. But there is a greater misfortune waiting for him, he suspected of corruption, but also to the Latin American asylum, back and ill wife goodbye, and jailed. The parting sorrow pain and loss of freedom enough to make anyone lose hope,But he began writing in prison and became famous ever since. His experience confirms the life he describes in his novels: there is hope in trouble, and life becomes warmer than before. But it must go through a process, as the winter to spring, the seed age people will not predict the flower appearance, only after the burial through patience, there will be a surprise, there will be fresh, beautiful days, can make the former bitter is sweet. However, some people think that O Henry's plot is not conducive to literary realism and influence the depth of his works. Golgi said: "your life is very bitter, but a woman may marry a millionaire, a man may marry a wealthy woman, or to find what other things. The characters in O Henry's novels is not only for the revolution for a decent life, but they are always kind, passionate, even not strong and never play tricks, so in any case they still cute.O Henry's novel is very delicate in structure, and uses the art that other people have never used. This is the famous "euro Henry" ending. In the novel, O Henry is always on the one hand to describe things, people began to think think what arrangements, but the real ending clues generally hidden in theseemingly dull narrative, even if O Henry is good at predicting a surprise, rarely able to guess how things could be perfectly logical and reasonable but beyond the imagination. Each of O Henry's novels uses the same technique, but each has the same charm, and it seems that his knitting skills for world joys and sorrows are endless. And each ending brings new meaning to the preceding plot, leaving a lasting and profound ambiguity. But that means too vast, so some people think that the work structure more features than the characters in O Henry's novels, a deep impression left is indeed the mood and plot, instead of characters and character, but in any case, the limited tenderness lonely helpless in tenderness and miracles that touched us deeply, so we find hope and comfort.O Henry was also a master of humor. He was good at finding seeds of humor and cultivating them to make strange flowers. However, when people enjoy a exotic flower, not a flower to be luxury, this kind of pressure makes o. Henry more carefully combing life, so that friends are afraid of him, he also said: "I almost become a humorous materials thief.There are altogether more than 300 short stories written by O Henry. The main novels are "four million", "the heart of the west", "voice of the city", "good"。
