The life of the gold diggers of the American West, full of trials and cruelty, harsh and courageous heroes, manifestations of human kindness and loyalty - these are the main themes of Bret Hart's works. He was a daring journalist, a lyrical poet, a kind of prose writer. His gift as a writer was recognized immediately and, surprisingly, first of all in Russia. But not only the adventurous plots and colorful images of the heroes of Bret Hart's works attract more and more new readers to his books, and perhaps the triumph of justice, which is present in the only novel by GABRIELLE CONROY, and in novels and short stories.

One of the most famous humorists in world literature, O.
