Kuvaus

The Devil's Dictionary is a satirical work written by American author Ambrose Bierce. Initially published in 1906, the book is a collection of humorous and cynical definitions of common words and phrases. Bierce's writing style is characterized by his use of irony, sarcasm, and wit to expose the hypocrisy and absurdity of society and its values. The book is divided into sections, each containing a series of definitions that poke fun at various aspects of human nature, politics, religion, and culture. Some of the definitions are still relevant today, while others are specific to the time period in which the book was written. The Devil's Dictionary is a classic work of American literature that continues to be studied and admired for its sharp wit and incisive commentary on society.1941. The most famous dictionary after the OED and Webster's. The renowned author and journalist provides hilariously witty and wise definitions for common words in our language. For example: Abdication - an act whereby a sovereign attests his sense of the high temperature of the throne; Abrupt - sudden, without ceremony, like the arrival of a cannon-shot and the departure of the soldier whose interests are most affected by it. Dr. Samuel Johnson beautifully said of another author's ideas that they were �������concatenated without abruption.�������This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
