Henry transforms the bustling metropolis into a canvas where human emotions, dreams, and struggles unfold. From the poignant "The Gift of the Magi," a tale of selfless love and sacrifice, to the humorous "The Skylight Room" and the ironic "The Cop and the Anthem," each story reveals the richness and complexity of everyday lives. Through shopkeepers, dreamers, beggars, and lovers, O. Henry highlights the humor, heartache, and humanity that connect us all. First published in 1906, "The Four Million" remains a timeless celebration of the human spirit.

Henry and discover the beauty, humor, and irony of life’s small yet profound moments.
