  • "These caustic aphorisms, collected in The Devil's Dictionary, helped earn Ambrose Bierce the epithets Bitter Bierce, the Devil's Lexicographer, and the Wickedest Man in San Francisco. First published as The Cynic's Word Book (1906) and later reissued under its preferred name in 1911, Bierce's notorious collection of barbed definitions forcibly contradicts Samuel Johnson's earlier definition of a lexicographer as a harmless drudge. There was nothing harmless about Ambrose Bierce, and the words he shaped into verbal pitchforks a century ago--with or without the devil's help--can still draw blood today."
  • "The most important work of Bierce. Writer acid, cynical, smart casual. Nothing escaped his original pen, nor the institutions of his country or feminism. Each one of its definitions is a moment of joy for the reader, with a great use of irony and sarcasm."
  • "Hundreds of pointed definitions, maxims, apocryphal quotations, and satirical verses attest to the power of the author's delightful, incisive wit."
  • "A "dictionary" of barbed definitions by one of America's most caustic humorists includes cynical epigrams, maxims, essays, and verses that illustrate the irreverent humor of the nineteenth-century satirist as he lampoons cherished American traditions."
  • "Présente 600 définitions corrosives issues du dictionnaire du satiriste et critique littéraire Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914), qualifié par J. Sternberg de figure de proue de l'humour noir. Ces définitions ont été retrouvées bien après la mort de leur auteur et sont inédites en français."

  • "Dive into a masterpiece of American satirical writing. The Devil's Dictionary , compiled by famed American journalist and fiction writer Ambrose Bierce, offers readers a compendium of words and phrases with dictionary-style definitions that are blisteringly hilarious and packed with spot-on cynicism and dark humor. The format makes this book a great text for dipping into any time you need a quick laugh."@en

  • "The Devil's Dictionary is a satirical reference book written by Ambrose Bierce. The book offers reinterpretations of terms in the English language, lampooning cant, and political doublespeak, as well as other aspects of human foolishness and frailty. A number of the definitions are accompanied by satiric verses, many of which are signed with comic pseudonyms such as Salder Bupp and Orm Pludge; the most frequently appearing contributor is that learned and ingenious cleric, Father Gassalasca Jape, S.J., whose lines bear his initials."@en

  • "The Devil's Dictionary was begun in a weekly paper in 1881, and was continued in a desultory way at long intervals until 1906. In that year a large part of it was published in covers with the title The Cynic's Word Book, a name which the author had not the power to reject or happiness to approve. To quote the publishers of the present work:"This more reverent title had previously been forced upon him by the religious scruples of the last newspaper in which a part of the work had appeared, with the natural consequence that when it came out in covers the country already had been flooded by its i."@en

  • "Ein höllisch schönes Geschenk! Hämischer, sarkastischer und politisch unkorrekter als Ambrose Bierce hat wohl kaum jemand die Welt beschrieben. In gewitzten Stichworten von A wie "Abendland" bis Z wie "Zyniker" erklärt er den Lauf der Dinge, gesehen durch die Brille eines abgebrühten Pessimisten. In dieser Schmuckausgabe mit schwarzem Samtbezug und roter Folienprägung lauern viele Stunden teuflisch guter Unterhaltung! Bei der Zusammenstellung seiner Misanthropismen liess "Bitter Bierce" die reine Willkür walten. So folgt auch in der Übersetzung auf die "Braut" das "Brechmittel", auf "Betragen" das Wort "betrügen" und auf den "Erzbischof" der "Esel". Bierce' Spott gilt sozialen, politischen und charakterlichen Missständen, seine Geissel trifft Machthaber und Autoritäten jeden erdenklichen Kalibers. Mit weit über 1000 Stichworten präsentiert die vorliegende Ausgabe diesen Klassiker der satirischen Literatur so umfangreich wie nie zuvor in deutscher Sprache. 1842 als zehntes von 13 Kindern einer Farmerfamilie in Ohio geboren, trat Andrew Gwinett Bierce bei Ausbruch des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs 1861 einem Regiment aus Indiana bei, wurde zweimal verwundet und mehrmals wegen Tapferkeit befördert. Später wurde er Journalist. 1913 ging Bierce nach Mexiko, wo er unter mysteriösen Umständen verschwand. Der Begründer des Genres der Short Story gehört neben Edgar Allan Poe und Mark Twain zu den bedeutensten amerikanischen Autoren des 19. Jahrhunderts."

  • "In this caustic parody of an English dictionary, first published in 1906, the renowned American writer satirized the social, professional, and religious conventions of his time."@en
  • "Ce dictionnaire a été écrit entre 1881 et 1906 et publié par bribes dans divers journaux. Il propose des définitions aussi éblouissantes que "dérangeantes" évitant toute plaisanterie ou calembour facile "pour verser dans la satire, la flagellation, le nihilisme et la cruauté mentale". Une des oeuvres les plus pessimistes, les plus modernes et les plus percutantes de la littérature américaine du siècle passé."

  • "The Devil's dictionary was begun in a weekly paper in 1881. In this book, Ambrose Bierce skewers far more then world of politics, but it is the political realm where Bierce's observations are astonishingly and depressingly relevant a century later."@en
