Devil's dictionary
Devil's Dictionary Complete & Unabridged
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.

Unabridged devil's dictionary
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.

The unabridged devil's dictionary
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.

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.
