The Ghost Stories of Ambrose Bierce

Beschreibung

Bierce was considered a master of pure English by his contemporaries, and virtually everything that came from his pen was notable for its judicious wording and economy of style. He wrote in a variety of literary genres. In addition to his ghost and war stories, he also published several volumes of poetry. His Fantastic Fables anticipated the ironic style of grotesquerie that became a more common genre in the 20th century.

Autor

AMBROSE BIERCE (1842-1914) journalist, satirist, and Civil War veteran, began his satirical redefinitions of ordinary words in a weekly newspaper in 1881, and saw them first collected in The Cynic's Word Book (1906). It was with the 1911 republication as The Devil's Dictionary that he struck comedy gold for the ages with his ironic riffs on American culture. Bierce was regarded as one of the most influential journalists in the United States.
