"The Door That Never Rested" is a work by the great American writer O. Henry (1862-1910).
The story of the old shoemaker echoes the ancient Jewish legend of Ahasuerus, a craftsman condemned to eternal wandering.
The author of stories with an unexpected ending, O. Henry is known for a number of short stories: "The Order of the Golden Ring", "The Diamond of the Goddess Kali", "A Thousand Dollars", "The Detectives", "The Gold That Glittered", "The Bird of Bagdad", "The Scarlet Dress" and "Comfort".
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.
