Review # 2 was written on 2019-11-01 00:00:00 Kevin Leblanc ENGLISH: In this collection of 22 stories by O.Henry, I liked three of them specially: "The discounters of money" about an ornithological millionaire (a millionaire through inheritance, i.e. because of the stork) who woos a young lady who despises money. "A retrieved reformation" about a safe-cracker who reforms when he falls in love. "Friends in San Rosario," a tale of two friends, worthy of comparison to famous stories about great friends, as that by Don Juan Manuel in Spanish literature, or as the old story about Damon and Pythias, in the time of the tyrant Dyonisius of Siracuse. For me, this was the best story in this collection. ESPAÑOL: En esta colección de 22 cuentos de O.Henry, me gustaron especialmente los tres siguientes: "Los que no tienen en cuenta el dinero" sobre un millonario por herencia que corteja a una joven que desprecia el dinero. "Una reforma recobrada" sobre un ladrón de cajas fuertes que se reforma cuando se enamora. "Amigos en San Rosario", la historia de dos amigos, digna de compararse con historias famosas de grandes amigos, como la de Don Juan Manuel en literatura española, o la antigua sobre Damon y Fintias (o Pintias), en la época del tirano Dionisio de Siracusa. Este fue el cuento que más me gustó.
