From the publisher
'The Caliph and the Boor' is a story written by the outstanding American writer O. Henry (1862–1910). The author calls Corny a modern-day Caliph of Upper Broadway. Every evening he puts on a smart suit and goes for a walk... The writer also became famous for his stories 'The Pharaoh and the Chorale', 'The Detectives', 'The Moment of Victory', 'Law and Order', 'The Day We Celebrate', 'A Thousand Dollars', 'The Bagdad Bird' and 'The Order of the Golden Ring'. O. Henry, whose real name was William Sydney Porter, is considered the founder of the 'fairy tale of the big city' genre, where sparkling humor is combined with deep philosophical meaning.
