The Four Million is a collection of twenty five short stories written by American author William Sydney Porter, better known by his pen name O. Henry. O. Henry was a comedic writer known for his sharp wit, clever wordplay, and unpredictable twist endings. The Four Million is a collection of stories all set in New York City in the early twentieth century. The stories vary between first and third person accounts, and feature central characters from all walks of life, including one story narrated by a dog. Henry is a writer with an ear for dialogue, and he brings his characters to life with words that jump off the page. This collection features the authors most well known short story, Gift of the Magi, as well as other standouts including The Cop and the Anthem, After Twenty Years, and By Courier. O. Henry was a popular writer during his day, and this collection demonstrates that his work is deserving of the accolades it has received. Henry's wit is perhaps his greatest attribute, and he populates his New York City with clever and quirky characters. Both humorous and illuminating, this collection shines a light on human nature while entertaining the reader. The Four Million is a brilliant collection of many of O. Henry's best short stories. It is a book that will appeal to all readers, both those familiar with the author's work and those new to the writings of the greatest short story writer of his era.

Excerpt from The Four Million, And, the Voice of the City So, to Coney me and Tobin went, thinking that a turn at the chutes and the smell of the popcorn might raise the heart in his bosom. But Tobin was a hard headed man, and the sadness stuck in his skin. He ground his teeth at the crying balloons; he cursed the moving pictures; and, though he would drink whenever asked, he scorned Punch and Judy, and was for licking the tintype men as they came.

Excerpt from The Voice of the City: Further Stories of the Four Million Twenty-five years ago the school children used to chant their lessons. The manner of their delivery was a singsong recitative between the utterance of an Episcopal minister and the drone of a tired sawmill. I mean no disrespect. We must have lumber and sawdust. I remember one beautiful and instructive little lyric that emanated from the physiology class. The most striking line of it was this: "The shin-bone is the long-est bone in the hu-man bod-y." What an inestimable boon it would have been if all the corporeal and spiritual facts pertaining to man had thus been tunefully and logically inculcated in our youthful minds! But what we gained in anatomy, music and philosophy was meagre. The other day I became confused. I needed a ray of light. I turned back to those school days for aid. But in all the nasal harmonies we whined forth from those hard benches I could not recall one that treated of the voice of agglomerated mankind. In other words, of the composite vocal message of massed humanity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Four Million: Large print by O. Henry (William Sidney Porter) Not very long ago some one invented the assertion that there were only "Four Hundred" people in New York City who were really worth noticing. But a wiser man has arisen--the census taker--and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the "Four Million." We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

Excerpt from Strictly Business: More Stories of the Four Million Now, few of us know the real life of the stage people. If we did, the profession might be more overcrowded than it is. We look askance at the players with an eye full of patronizing superiority - and we go home and practise all sorts of elocution and gestures in front of our looking glasses. Latterly there has been much talk of the actor people in a new light. It seems to have been divulged that in stead of being motoring bacchanalians and diamond hungry loreleis they are businesslike folk, students and ascetics with childer and homes and libraries, ownin g real estate, and conducting their private affairs in as orderly and unsensational a manner as any of us good citizens Who are bound to the chariot wheels of the gas, rent, coal, ice, and wardmen.
