Bag om The Devil¿s Dictionary

The Devil's Dictionary is a collection of satirical aphorisms by Ambrose Bierce from 1911, gathering mostly blackly humorous or sarcastic definitions for about 1000 words. Although only a small portion of his work has been thoroughly received, Bierce, with the sarcastic, blackly humorous, often cynical narrative tone of his short texts, is considered, along with Edgar Allan Poe, to be the master of the uncanny short story, influencing authors such as Ernest Hemingway.
