The Devil's Dictionary is an acerbic, confrontational wordplay, offering some 1,600 wickedly clever definitions to the vocabulary of everyday life. Little is sacred and few are safe, for Ambrose Bierce targets just about any pursuit, from matrimony to immortality, that allows our willful failings and excesses to shine forth. The Devil's Dictionary, a satirical book first published in 1911, offers reinterpretations of terms in the English language which lampoon cant and political doublespeak.
