The Devil’s Dictionary

By (author) Ambrose Bierce, Introduction by John Simpson

€18.20

Bierce’s dictionary, first published in 1906 as ‘The Cynic’s Word Book’, brought his biting black humour to bear on spoof definitions of everyday words. Over 100 years later, Bierce’s redefinitions still give us pause for thought- making for a timely new edition of this irreverent and provocative satire.
