Více o knize
Ambrose Bierce, a notable journalist and Civil War veteran, crafted "The Devil's Dictionary" as a satirical lexicon filled with sharp, witty definitions. Originating from his essays and columns over decades, the collection began in 1867 and was formally published in 1906, later expanded in 1911. This work cleverly parodies the English language with politically charged and humorous interpretations of words. Celebrated as one of America's literary masterpieces, it showcases Bierce's unique blend of cynicism and wit, making it a distinctive contribution to literature.
