Beschreibung
American journalist and satirist Ambrose Bierce is one of the most famous and fascinating figures in all of American literature. He led an adventurous and eventful life, beginning with his birth in a log cabin, to his time as a Civil War soldier, followed by his career as an author and journalist, to finally his mysterious disappearance during the Mexican Revolution at age 71. Bierce is perhaps best known for his short stories about the American Civil War, which influenced authors such as Ernest Hemingway and Stephen Crane. He was also an accomplished horror story writer, whose work inspired the tales of H. P. Lovecraft. Bierce's gift for story-telling is exemplified by his famous "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", which is the story of Peyton Farquhar, a Confederate sympathizer condemned to die by hanging upon the Owl Creek Bridge. It is one of the most anthologized of American short stories and showcases his cutting wit and talent for irony and surprise. This story, along with numerous others, is collected in this representative edition of "The Collected Short Stories of Ambrose Bierce". This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Über den Autor
Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was an American short-story writer, journalist, poet, and Civil War warrior. The American Revolution Bicentennial Administration selected his book The Devil's Dictionary one of "The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature". His narrative "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" has been regarded as "one of the most famous and frequently anthologized stories in American literature," and his book Tales of Soldiers and Civilians has been chosen by the Grolier Club as one of the top 100 American books published before 1900. Bierce was born on June 24, 1842, in a log cabin on Horse Cave Creek in Meigs County, Ohio, to Marcus Aurelius Bierce (1799-1876) and Laura Sherwood Bierce. He was descended solely from English ancestors who arrived in North America as part of the Great Puritan Migration between 1620 and 1640. He frequently criticized "Puritan values" and those who "made a fuss" over ancestry. He was the tenth of thirteen children, all of them were named by their father with the letter "A": Abigail, Amelia, Ann, Addison, Aurelius, Augustus, Almeda, Andrew, Albert, Ambrose, Arthur, Adelia, and Aurelia. His mother was descended from William Bradford.
