Classic American short stories

"Four great American short story writers are represented in this collection. Distinctly different in atmosphere and writing style, they caught the mood and concerns of their day in a distinctly American fashion. O. Henry's sharp observation, Crane's insights on the Civil War, and London's preoccupation with the Klondike are well known, so while these individual stories may be unfamiliar, they will resonate in the imagination."@en
