Father Henry dreamed of traveling since childhood and ran away from home at the age of ten with the intention of devoting himself to whale hunting, but he was returned, and he was forced to earn a living by casual professions. And only at the end of his life he realized that his vocation was literature, as evidenced by his brilliant stories, unusually expressive, witty and mocking. They embodied all his inexhaustible love for adventure and distant wanderings.
