The Devil's Dictionary de Ambrose Bierce

The Devil's Dictionary

Autor Ambrose Bierce
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 apr 2020
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.

Recenzii

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

Notă biografică

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) was an American novelist and short story writer. Born in Meigs County, Ohio, Bierce was raised Indiana in a poor family who treasured literature and extolled the value of education. Despite this, he left school at 15 to work as a printer¿s apprentice, otherwise known as a ¿devil¿, for the Northern Indianan, an abolitionist newspaper. At the outbreak of the American Civil War, he enlisted in the Union infantry and was present at some of the conflict¿s most harrowing events, including the Battle of Shiloh in 1862. During the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in 1864, Bierce¿by then a lieutenant¿suffered a serious brain injury and was discharged the following year. After a brief re-enlistment, he resigned from the Army and settled in San Francisco, where he worked for years as a newspaper editor and crime reporter. In addition to his career in journalism, Bierce wrote a series of realist stories including ¿An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge¿ and ¿Chickamauga,¿ which depict the brutalities of warfare while emphasizing the psychological implications of violence. In 1906, he published The Devil¿s Dictionary, a satirical dictionary compiled from numerous installments written over several decades for newspapers and magazines. In 1913, he accompanied Pancho Villäs army as an observer of the Mexican Revolution and disappeared without a trace at the age of 71.
