- Description or summary of the audiobook: Born in Ohio in 1842, journalist, short-story writer and critic Ambrose Bierce developed into one of this country's most celebrated and cynical wits - a merciless 'American Swift' whose literary barbs were aimed at folly, self-delusion, politics, business, reliegion, literature and the arts. In this splendid 'dictionary' of epigrams, essays, verses and vignettes, you'll find over 1,000 pointed definitions, e.g. Congratulation ('The civility of envy'), Coward ('One who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs') and Historian ('A broad-guage gossip'). Anyone who likes to laugh will love 'the Devil's Dictionary.' Anyone looking for a bon mot to enliven their next speech, paper or conversation will have a field day thumbing through what H.L. Mencken called 'some of the most gorgeous witticisms in the English language.'
