The Devil's Dictionary

A collection of over three decades worth of tongue-in-cheek satire, Ambrose Bierce’s goal was to poke at the language of his time in the 19th century. Dry, but not cracked, Bierce has complied an interesting dictionary of sorts that lays bare the contradictions and hypocrisies of his time. This classic work of ironic wit is presented in a handsome paper-over-board with a dust jacket format — a great gift for anyone fluent in sarcasm.
