Ambrose Bierce (1842-1913) wrote the short story "An Occurrence at Owl   Creek Bridge" and compiled a satirical lexicon The Devil's Dictionary.   His vehemence as a critic, his motto "Nothing matters", and the   sardonic view of human nature that informed his work, all earned him the   nickname "Bitter Bierce".
Despite his reputation as a searing critic, Bierce was known to encourage   younger writers, including poet George Sterling and fiction writer W. C.   Morrow. Bierce employed a distinctive style of writing, especially in his   stories. His style often embraces an abrupt beginning, dark imagery, vague   references to time, limited descriptions, impossible events and the theme of   war.

The Land Beyond the Blow (After the method of Swift, who followed Lucian, and was himself followed by Voltaire and many others)

Amerikan edebiyatının en alışılmadık, en dikkat çekici yazarlarından biri Ambrose Bierce. İğneleyici nüktedanlığı ve zehir gibi hicviyle şeytana bile pabucunu ters giydiren bir adam.Bierce'ın her durumu tersinden okuduğu, Francisco Goya'nın gravürlerinin eşlik ettiği Epigramlar ve Şeytan'ın Sözlüğü'nden yapılan bu seçki ise karamsarlığı değil keskin bir zekanın ve yüksek bir mizahın peşi sıra sürüklediği özgürlüğü aşılıyor okura.

Epigrammes

Ces Rêveries philosophiques et théologiques figurent dans Les Délices d'un monstre, un livre publié en 1873 sous le nom de Dod Grile, le pseudonyme de journaliste d'Ambrose Bierce. Un tout premier livre, déjà gorgé d'un humour aussi coupant qu'absurde qui annonce son illustre Dictionnaire du diable.

Rêveries philosophiques et théologiques - Suivies de Ce qu'est un écrivain...

In merely resuming his own the author hopes to be held guiltless by those to whom the work is addressed-enlightened souls who prefer dry wines to sweet, sense to sentiment, wit to humor and clean English to slang.

The Dictionary of the Devil

This short story collection by Ambrose Bierce has all of the following stories: A Shipwreckollection, The Captain of "The Camel," The Man Overboard, A Cargo of Cat, Epigrams Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was an American editorialist, journalist, short story writer, fabulist, and satirist. He wrote the short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and compiled a satirical lexicon, The Devil's Dictionary. His vehemence as a critic, his motto "Nothing matters," and the sardonic view of human nature that informed his work, all earned him the nickname "Bitter Bierce." Bierce was considered a master of pure English by his contemporaries, and virtually everything that came from his pen was notable for its judicious wording and economy of style. He wrote in a variety of literary genres. His short stories are held among the best of the 19th century, providing a popular following based on his roots. He wrote realistically of the terrible things he had seen in the war in such stories as "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," "The Boarded Window," "Killed at Resaca," and "Chickamauga." In addition to his ghost and war stories, he also published several volumes of poetry. His Fantastic Fables anticipated the ironic style of grotesquerie that became a more common genre in the 20th century.

La vague de l'océan

Parmi les nouvelles incluses dans ce livre, Un incident au pont d’Owl-Creek est sans doute celle qui a reçu les plus grands éloges de la part de la critique et d’autres écrivains. Elle suit le parcours d’un homme sur le point d’être exécuté par pendaison, en pleine guerre de Sécession, et qui déclenche en lui-même un mécanisme de défense psychologique abolissant les lois temporelles. Gommant la frontière entre la vie intérieure du sujet et le monde extérieur, le récit parvient à confondre l’esprit du lecteur par un habile jeu de miroirs. Avec cette nouvelle, Bierce signe une composition moderne, à portée philosophique, sur la porosité entre réalité et fiction.
