The Devil's Dictionary
Ambrose Bierce, 2024Free shipping starting at 50.–
'The Devil's Dictionary' by Ambrose Bierce is a sharp-witted and satirical work that offers a unique perspective on human nature, society, and language. Bierce, a journalist and Civil War veteran, uses his keen intellect and biting humor to redefine everyday terms and phrases through an ironic lens. Originally published in 1906, this book is an example of literary satire that recalls the sharp critiques of Jonathan Swift. It reflects the complex socio-political landscape of post-Civil War America, where cynicism towards morality and politics prevailed. Bierce's experiences and his often disillusioned view of humanity and its absurdities find expression in this work. 'The Devil's Dictionary' is an essential read for satire lovers and provides a deeper engagement with language and meaning that is both thought-provoking and entertaining.
