In seinem ersten Roman Buddenbrooks erzählt Thomas Mann nur wenig verschlüsselt die Geschichte seiner Familie und ihrer Stellung in der Vaterstadt Lübeck, soweit er sie nachvollziehen, in Einzelheiten überblicken konnte, ja sogar noch miterlebt hat. Verwandte, Honoratioren und markante Persönlichkeiten seiner Jugend werden integriert. Es ist die Geschichte des langsamen Niedergangs einer reichen Kaufmannsfamilie über vier Generationen hinweg. Auch mehr als hundert Jahren nach seinem ersten Erscheinen hat der Roman nichts an Charme und Aktualität eingebüßt.

Немезида и разносчик — зарисовка известного новеллиста конца XIX века О. Генри (англ. O. Henry, 1862–1910). Что случается, когда женское очарование разбивается о неприступную стену железного мужского спокойствия? Писатель также прославился благодаря рассказам "Фараон и хорал", "Сыщики", "Момент победы", "Закон и порядок", "День, который мы празднуем", "Тысяча долларов", "Багдадская птица" и "Орден золотого колечка". О. Генри, чье настоящее имя Уильям Сидни Портер, считается основоположником жанра "сказка большого города", где искрометный юмор сочетается с глубоким философским смыслом.
