Satirical definitions crafted by Ambrose Bierce showcase his sharp wit and critique of society at the turn of the 20th century. Compiling humorous takes on various concepts, Bierce's work reflects the era's industrial growth and lingering civil war tensions. His definitions, such as those for "AIR" and "CONSERVATIVE," blend humor with insight, making them both entertaining and thought-provoking. This edition revives a classic of American literature, appealing to cynics and misanthropes alike, while retaining its unique irreverence and charm.
