The Devil's Dictionary

Viac o knihe

Ambrose Bierce's satirical reference book reinterprets English terms, critiquing political doublespeak and human folly. The entries are humorously defined, often accompanied by witty verses from contributors with playful pseudonyms, including the prominent Father Gassalasca Jape, S.J. This unique blend of satire and linguistic creativity offers a sharp commentary on societal absurdities.
