I'm a failure. I always have the feeling that I want to get back somewhere, but I don't know just where it is. 我感到失意。我心裡一直渴望能有個回歸的地方,卻遍尋不著。─O Henry. 歐.亨利(O. Henry)是美國知名的短篇小說作家,與契訶夫和莫泊桑並列世界三大短篇小說巨匠。 歐.亨利著作豐富,一生中留下了一部長篇小說和近三百篇的短篇小說。其小說內容主要以美國的大城市生活(尤其是紐約)為背景,主人翁以中下階層的平凡老百姓為主,寫作特色則以出人意料的結局最為讀者所熟悉。 歐.亨利的小說架構設計精巧,故事行進中多有幽默的橋段,最後再以讀者想像不到的結尾收場。歐.亨利很擅長設計這種出其不意的結局,這成為了他小說中最大的特色,這種結局的寫作方法也因此被稱為「歐.亨利式結尾」(O. Henry Ending)。 歐.亨利的原名為William Sidney Poter,1862年生於美國北卡羅萊納州。1902年,他移居紐約,成為職業小說家。他勤於筆耕,寫作速度很快,作品也普受歡迎,因而名利雙收。然而,他步上父親的後塵,染上酗酒的惡習,最終落魄謝世。 本書一共輯錄了歐.亨利深具代表性的15篇短篇小說,包括: 1. The Last Leaf(最後一片藤葉) 2. The Gift of the Magi(聖誕禮物) 3. The Cop and the Anthem(警察與讚美詩) 4. The Romance of a Busy Broker(忙碌證券商的愛情故事) 5. The Love-Philtre of Ikey Schoenstein(愛情迷幻藥) 6. Springtime à la Carte(春日菜單) 7. The Ransom of Red Chief(紅酋長的贖金) 8. The Pendulum(鐘擺) 9. The Green Door(綠門) 10. The Furnished Room(附家具出租的房間) 11. The Count and the Wedding Guest(伯爵與婚禮賓客) 12. One Thousand Dollars(一千元) 13.

Love and business and family and religion and art and patriotism are nothing but shadows of words when a man's starving! 愛情、事業、家庭、信仰、藝術或是愛國情操,在飢餓的面前,不過是文字浮影罷了。 歐.亨利(O. Henry)是美國知名的短篇小說作家,與契訶夫和莫泊桑並列世界三大短篇小說巨匠。歐.亨利著作豐富,一生中留下了一部長篇小說和近三百篇的短篇小說。其小說內容主要以美國的大城市生活(尤其是紐約)為背景,主人翁以中下階層的平凡老百姓為主,場景涵蓋公寓、酒館、劇院、公園等,常自詡為「四百萬」個小市民之一,而非「四百」個富翁之一,寫出金錢社會裡的小市民心聲。 歐亨利的寫作手法誇張、幽默、詭異,他善於捕捉細微的生活場景,描述人物的喜怒哀樂。其筆下的商人、強盜、警察、流浪漢,無不栩栩如生、愛恨分明。他以幽默的筆法化解筆下人物的悲情,用「含淚微笑」的方式嘲諷當時的資本主義社會,更加深其作品的社會意義。 歐亨利小說的最大特色,在於其「出人意表的結局」,即所謂的「歐亨利手法」。其小說之起承轉合,層次分明,情節則一路巧妙安排,極富戲劇性,往往發展到最後,便筆鋒一轉,令人啼笑皆非。這種寫作手法同時影響美國文壇甚巨。 本書自歐亨利的三百多篇短篇佳作之中,精選最膾炙人口的15篇,包含〈聖誕禮物〉、〈最後一片藤葉〉、〈警察與讚美詩〉及〈命運之路〉等,帶您一窺其獨樹一格、幽默深刻的小說世界。 1.

This book will help a person with a plan, yet funding caused everything to come to a complete stop. It will also help someone bridge the distance between ambition and destiny. I sometimes look at it as my bridge to fulfill my purpose in life. I feel that knowledge is power. So many people don't understand financial institutions. I feel I need to share the information with people to help someone.I found myself in this position after I graduated from college. I had a degree but no job. I had goals and ambition to get to that point in life. I just didn't understand how to get my plan funded past this point. I had 65,000 dollars in debt from loans in college, so my social security number was just a little over-leveraged. I had no idea what an EIN number was at the time.I realized I had an IT degree, but I needed a business financial mentor. This book explains what I learned over the next few years to drive my net worth over a million dollars.I have streamlined the process for people now: A
