Produktbeschreibung

In this collection of essays, published in 1909, Bierce offers his incisive and sardonic commentary on many social issues of the day. He proffers arguments that are still in use by today's pundits, making his essays such as The Game of Politics, The Death Penalty, and The Right to Work, seem surprisingly modern.

Autorenporträt

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842 - 1914) was an American editorialist, journalist, short story writer, fabulist, and satirist. He wrote the short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and compiled a satirical lexicon, The Devil's Dictionary. His vehemence as a critic, his motto "Nothing matters", and the sardonic view of human nature that informed his work, all earned him the nickname "Bitter Bierce".
