'Nemesis and the Peddler' is a sketch by the famous short story writer of the late 19th century O. Henry (1862–1910). What happens when a woman's charm is smashed against the impregnable wall of iron male calm? 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.
