William Sydney Porter known by his pen name 0. Henry, was an American short story writer. His wit and plot twists were adored by his readers, but often panned by the critics. Collected Short Stories is a collection of humorous and sentimental stories of sheepherders, cowpunchers, trail cooks, prospectors, outlaws, and Texas Rangers that offer the modern reader a window into American West. Perhaps reflecting O. Henry`s own experience as a young man in the middle of nowhere, where women were few and far between, many of the stories are comic tales of romantic rivalry.

Adam Lindemann`s previous book for Taschen, Collecting Contemporary, has been an unprecedented success, introducing the lay reader to collecting contemporary art, with tell-all interviews by the biggest players in the global art market. Where this book was mainly the outcome of Lindemann`s personal fascination with the art, Collecting Design, in similar fashion, started when he was furnishing his new house. "Art collectors like myself who hung beautiful contemporary paintings on their walls suddenly saw their furniture look sad and tired," Lindemann writes in his preface and relates how hobby became passion and an overwhelming desire to know everything. Which is how this latest volume manages to give such a perfect introduction into...

In this edition of his collected shorter fiction we can see why Somerset Maugham, celebrated as the author of Cakes and Ale and Of Human Bondage, is also regarded as a master of the short story. Open this substantial volume at any page and you will find evidence of his extraordinary art. Without narrative tricks and in a plain prose style, Maugham introduces us to the enormous range of characters and experiences he encountered in an unusually long life and recorded with the cool accuracy of a good doctor diagnosing disease. There are many famous stories here; some of them made into films such as The Force of Circumstance, Rain, P & O and The Colonel`s Lady; others, less famous, charting mundane but mysterious events in all four quarters...
Wilde`s works are suffused with his aestheticism, brilliant craftsmanship, legendary wit and, ultimately, his tragic muse. He wrote tender fairy stories for children employing all his grace, artistry and wit, of which the best-known is The Happy Prince. Counterpoints to this were his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, which shocked and outraged many readers of his day, and his stories for adults which exhibited his fascination with the relations between serene art and decadent life. Wilde took London by storm with his plays, particularly his masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest. His essays - in particular De Profundis - and his Ballad of Reading Gaol, both written after his release from prison, strikingly break the bounds of his...

Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most popular works of English fiction. Although Charlotte Bronte`s heroine is outwardly plain, she possesses an indomitable spirit, and great courage.

This title features collected works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Few American novelists of the twentieth century have stayed as modern as F. Scott Fitzgerald. He gave a name to his age, `the Jazz Age`, but his reputation has outlived it. Gathered here are the five novels he wrote in his relatively short career, together with a number of the many short stories he wrote between 1922 and his death in 1940. "This Side of Paradise" catapulted him to fame, its expose of the manners and morals of a post-war generation becoming a cause celebre. "The Beautiful and Damned", a semi-autobiographical moral parable of a doomed marriage, affirmed Fitzgerald`s status as the spokesman for the generation of the 1920s. His third novel, "The Great Gatsby",...
