Ambrose Bierce was an American writer who is best known for his realism.

Autorenporträt
Ambrose Bierce, born on June 24, 1842, in Meigs County, Ohio, grew to be one of the most enigmatic figures in American literature. Best known for his satirical wit and sardonic view of human nature, Bierce became a prominent writer, journalist, and editorialist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His literary contributions are often overshadowed by his mysterious disappearance in 1914, but his work continues to influence writers and readers alike. Beyond his most famous collection, 'The Devil's Dictionary' (1911), and the haunting Civil War short story 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' (1890), Bierce applied his sharp critique to the craft of writing itself in 'Write It Right: A Little Blacklist of Literary Faults' (1909). In this work, he aimed to refine English usage by calling out common mistakes and advocating for precision and clarity-a reflection of his fastidious attention to language and style. Despite the controversy that some of his opinions in 'Write It Right' might ignite, his passion for the intricacies of expression remains evident. Bierce's prolific output and unique blend of dark humor, realism, and psychological depth continue to resonate, making him a distinctive voice in American literary history.
