The Devil's Dictionary

Viac o knihe

This satirical reference book reinterprets English terms, critiquing political language and human folly. Ambrose Bierce employs humor and wit, often pairing definitions with satirical verses attributed to whimsical pseudonyms like Salder Bupp and Orm Pludge. The recurring character, Father Gassalasca Jape, adds a clever touch as a learned cleric contributing to the book's unique blend of satire and linguistic playfulness.
