The Devil's Dictionary

The Complete Edition - 1911 Edition, Enriched with Over 800 Definitions Left Out from the Original Publications

Beschreibung

One of the most popular satirical works of world literature, The Devil's Dictionary - here enriched with over 800 definitions left out from the original publications - brilliantly lays bare the hypocrisies of American society and displays a razor-sharp wit to rival that of Bierce's contemporary Mark Twain.

Autor

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.
