The Devil’s Dictionary: The Complete Edition: The Complete Edition – 1911 edition, enriched with over 800 definitions left out from the original publications

Autor Ambrose Bierce
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 oct 2019
A celebrated journalist in his lifetime, Ambrose Bierce's began circulating his own sardonic, mischievous definitions of words in his various columns for San Francisco newspapers. Over several years these were then compiled and expanded into entries for a mock dictionary originally published as The Cynic's Word Book.One of the most popular satirical works of American literature, The Devil's Dictionary - here published in its most complete 1911 version - brilliantly lays bare the hypocrisies of American society and displays a razor-sharp wit to rival that of Bierce's contemporary Mark Twain.

Notă biografică

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) was an American short story writer and journalist. He is probably best known for his story 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek', published in 1890. In 1913 he went to Mexico in order to observe the civil war there. Whilst travelling with Pancho Villa's army in 1914, he vanished without a trace.

Recenzii

The corrosive insights of Bierce seem as bitter and fresh as ever. He handles words with delicious precision.
