William S. Porter
"O. Henry" (1862-1910)
Born William Sidney Porter, this master of short stories is much better known under his pen name "O. Henry." He was born September 11, 1862 in North Carolina, where he spent his childhood. His only formal education was received at the school of his Aunt Lina, where he developed a lifelong love of books. In his uncle's pharmacy, he became a licensed pharmacist and was also known for his sketches and cartoons of the townspeople of Greensboro. At the age of twenty, Porter came to Texas primarily for health reasons, and worked on a sheep ranch and lived with the family of Richard M. Hall, whose family had close ties with the Porter family back in North Carolina. It was here that Porter gained a knowledge for ranch life that he later described in many of his short stories. In 1884, Porter moved to Austin. For the next three years, where he roomed in the home of the Joseph Harrell family and held several jobs. It was during this time that Porter first used his pen name, O. Henry, said to be derived from his frequent calling of "Oh, 'Henry'" the family cat. By 1887, Porter began working as a draftsman in the General Land Office, then headed by his old family friend, Richard Hall. In 1891 at the end of Hall's term at the Land Office, Porter resigned and became a teller with the First National Bank in Austin. After a few years, however, he left the bank and founded the

PORTER, WILLIAM SYDNEY In La Salle County, Jesse Leigh Hall, qv a retired Texas Ranger, managed the ranch holdings of the Dull brothers from Pennsylvania. Porter lived on this ranch for two years with Betty and Richard Moore Hall. qv Mrs. Hall was a well-educated woman and had a library that Porter used during these years. While he herded sheep for Dick Hall, Webster's Unabridged Dictionary was his constant companion. During his two years on the ranch, Porter gained a knowledge of ranch life that he later incorporated into many of his short stories. Lee Hall was Porter's prototype for the Texas Ranger who appears in many of the Texas stories. In 1884 the Halls moved to a new ranch in Williamson County, and Porter moved to Austin and lived as a house guest of the Joseph Harrell family for three years. During this time he worked at several jobs and was active in Austin social life. For a time he was a member of the Hill City Quartette. During this time the first recorded use of his pseudonym appeared, allegedly derived from his habit of calling "Oh, Henry" to the family cat. In 1887 Porter began working as a draftsman in the General Land Office

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. "He wrote love stories, a thing I have always kept free from, holding the belief that the well-known and popular sentiment is not properly matter for publication, but something to be privately handled by the alienist and the florist." (from 'The Plutonian Fire') 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.

O. Henry was born William Sydney Porter in Greensboro, 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. "It was beautiful and simple as all truly great swindles are." (from The Octopus Marooned 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. 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 Jennings' 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 a penitentiary in 1898 at Columbus, Ohio.

argonaut staff
It is Christmas in New York, but for two young lovers, Jim and Della, the prospects are bleak, as both are out of work and penniless.
Their dilemma is solved when both part with their most precious possessions in order to buy presents for each other-thereby creating, at least for a magical moment, an aura of warmth and giving in the cold, impersonal winter city.
The original story by O. Henry was only four pages. The Lamb's Theatre Company commissioned the "Gift of the Magi" for development. It received its premiere production at the Lamb's Theater in New York City, on December 3, 1984. The play has since been performed all over the country.
O. Henry (1862-1910), is the pseudonym of William Sydney Porter, a noted and prolific American short story writer and 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.
The writer was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. His father, Algernon Sidney Porter, was a physician. When William was three, his mother died. William was an avid reader, but at the age of fifteen he left school to work 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 to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married.

Plaquetas de cultura O dramaturgo espanhol Lope de Vega, em A viúva valenciana, alertava que “Qualquer livro discreto é um amigo que aconselha e repreende em segredo”. A máxima poucas vezes se tornou tão verdadeira como nos livretos da Coleção Plaquetas da Oficina, lançada a partir de acervo da biblioteca da Oficina do Livro Rubens Borba de Moraes. Co-editados pela Oficina do Livro e pela Imprensa Oficial do Estado de São Paulo (Imesp), os 12 volumes da Coleção tem muito a ensinar, a alertar e a repreender em termos de falhas humanas, como a vaidade. Os livros, embora pequenos em número de páginas chamam a atenção para obras totalmente esquecidas ou autores muitas vezes lembrados por outros trabalhos. O primeiro recado da Coleção é dado justamente pelo mestre da crítica literária Antonio Candido, que, na revista Sociologia, em 1948, havia publicado O nobre – contribuição para o seu estudo, texto em que discute justamente a idéia de nobreza. Mesmo considerada pelo autor apenas uma compilação que seria a introdução de mais três textos, apresenta uma interessante reflexão sobre os elos entre o nobre, o senhor feudal e o cavaleiro medieval, entre outros. A questão da nobreza é ainda brevemente analisada por Candido como um status, ou seja, como uma atitude perante o mundo circundante. Com a modernidade, porém, a nobreza foi perdendo o seu espaço, tornando-se hoje apenas uma abstração. Haveria, no entanto, entre certas famílias tradicionais paulistas um sentimento – se não claramente enunciado, ao menos possível de ser lido nas entrelinhas de certas afirmações – de saudade do seu passado nobre.
