Here are sixteen of the best stories by one of America's most popular storytellers. For nearly a century, the work of O.Henry has delighted readers with its humor, irony and colorful, real-life settings. The writer's own life had more than a touch of color and irony. Born William Sidney Porter in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1862, he worked on a Texas ranch, then as a bank teller in Austin, then as a reporter for the Houston "Post." Adversity struck, however, when he was indicted for embezzlement of bank funds. Porter fled to New Orleans, then to Honduras before he was tried, convicted and imprisoned for the crime in 1898.

Art Of Dramatic Writing: Its Basis in the Creative Interpretation of Human Motives Lajos Egri
. For many years, Lajos Egri's highly opinionated but very enjoyable The Art of Dramatic Writing has been a well-guarded secret of playwrights, scriptwriters, and writers for television. Unlike many other books on playwrighting (several of which Egri criticizes during the course of this one), the author's systematic breakdown of the essentials for creating successful realistic plays and screenplays effectively demystifies the process of creative writing.

Conflict itself is also discussed, particularly how to create scenarios in which the crisis develops at a pace that......

Жизнь господина Хашим Мансурова Ксения Букша
 Открытый Мир, Гаятри. Роман "Жизнь господина Хашим Мансурова" - постсоветский эпический триллер о судьбе человека времен перехода от управляемого застоя к неуправляемому экономическому сбыту. Главный герой книги не похож на своих сограждан. И не только потому, что обладает даром делать кажущееся реальным и реализовывать нереализованные возможности, но и потому что, вопреки здравому смыслу, научился любить абсолютно все - и черное, и белое, и стоящее, и пропащее. Жаркий, клокочущий и яркий, как лазер, роман Ксении Букши о "рождении" нереального героя нереального времени адресован всем, кто хоть как-то связан с прошлым и будущим нашей страны....
