One of O. Henry's masterpieces, The Last Leaf has been deeply moving readers worldwide for over a century since its publication in 1907. Set in New York's Greenwich Village, this work depicting the lives and friendship of artists is used as essential material in literature education around the world.
The unbreakable hope in desperate situations and unconditional love for others are enough to touch readers' hearts. In particular, it offers time to reflect on the preciousness of life and the true value of art.
Through this short but powerfully resonant story, I hope you take time to reflect on what truly matters in our lives.
