Devils Dictionary HC

Ambrose Bierce, a contemporary of Mark Twains, is known for his irreverent wit, sharp sarcasm, and sardonic view of human nature. His perennial classic of American satire, The Devils Dictionary, offers biting observations that lampoon people, politics, American society, and its most cherished institutions. Acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist Keith Bendis has chosen a sampling of Bierces most wickedly funny definitions to bring to life through illustration. Bierces acerbic wit has met its perfect match with Bendis humorous, tongue-in-cheek watercolor drawings.
