The Devil’s Dictionary

Ambrose Bierce was an iconoclastic literary genius and this compilation of bitter definitions (written for a satirical magazine during the 1880s) is a true American classic. Some may find Bierce sexist, nationalist and racist, but most readers will enjoy his malevolent skepticism, use of political parody and doublespeak, and his underlying rage against hypocrisy. A very entertaining and intelligent read.
