Synopsis

The accountant of bank, the convict, the druggist, the writer - all these words are suitable for the same person - William Sidney Porter, world renowned as O. Henry. If you appreciate humour, adore laughing, so get acquainted with the story "By Courier", which combines grace of the text and magnificent images of the characters. The author depicts with humor communication of two lovers. The salt of the story is the fact that they don’t speak face to face but use an illiterate boy as a courier. His wit and, on the other hand, his ignorance make the declaration of love sound funny and original. At some instant it seems that the communication will be interrupted, but wisdom of lovers saves the situation. "By Courier" is the perfect antidepressant for any age.A SmartTouch Media production.
