The Devils Dictionary - Ambrose Bierce

Detalii:

The Devils Dictionary is a hilarious satire from one of the most brilliant and incisive writers of all time --Ambrose Bierce. nBorn in Ohio in 1842, journalist, short-story writer and critic Ambrose Bierce developed into one of this countrys most celebrated and cynical wits -- a merciless American Swift whose literary barbs were aimed at folly, self-delusion, politics, business, religion, literature and the arts. In this splendid dictionary of epigrams, essays, verses and vignettes, youll find over 1,000 pointed definitions, e.g. Congratulation (The civility of envy), Coward (One who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs) and Historian (A broad-gauge gossip). Anyone who likes to laugh will love The Devils Dictionary. Anyone looking for a bon mot to enliven their next speech, paper or conversation will have a field day thumbing through what H. L. Mencken called some of the most gorgeous witticisms in the English language.
