| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | My tussle with the devil, and other stories by O. Henry. It is a collection of short stories, parables, and prose poems written in the early 20th century. Framed in a spiritualist vein, the book meditates on the afterlife, moral choice, love, cruelty, and war, often personifying abstract forces and urging readers toward compassion and inner awakening.<br/><br/>The volume opens with claims of messages “from beyond,” then unfolds a series of allegorical vignettes: the title tale stages a sumptuous temptation by a majestic Devil that the narrator decisively rejects; “The Contest” pits a seductive Life against a radiant Death; other pieces recast chain-gang misery, grief, and wartime loss through the transfiguring power of Love. Animals, flowers, and jewels become teachers—condemning cruelty (a vivisected spaniel), honoring loyalty (a ghostly dog who brings a slipper), and urging seekers to value the “diamond” of love above rubies or emeralds. Domestic memories, homely wisdom, and dockside camaraderie (with the dog Dakta choosing “brothers” for a redemptive mission) reinforce the book’s ethic of kindness. Later entries reimagine “munitions” as Kindness, Joy, and Love; depict dying as “going home”; and culminate in a quest in which the key to the Temple of Knowledge is simply love, before a final vision of Peace unfolding its golden wings over a renewed world.
