O Henry. Cabbages and Kings

We are glad to present you а wonderful and legend book Cabbages and Kings written by O’Henry. The plot of the book is inspired by O’Henry’s exotic life in Honduras where he lived for six months. The book tells us about the life of a small South American country that lives on proceeds from the sale of fruit. Once, a coup happens in the country, which draws principal characters into a whirlpool of strange and ridiculous events. Sparkling humor, an original design and unexpected outcomes make a reader be focused on to the very last pages. As O’Henry said himself, Cabbages and Kings is a comedy sewn together of colored rags.

The term ‘Banana Republic’ invented by O’Henry to characterize the country in which the book events take place, has become commonly used for more than a century to characterize small countries trying to find their place on the political map of the world.
