Bierce's fiction is particularly distinguished by its realistic depictions of the author's Civil War experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNewspaperman, short-story writer, poet and satirist, Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) is one of the most striking and unusual literary figures America has produced. Dubbed \"Bitter Bierce\" for his vitriolic wit and biting satire, his fame rests largely on a celebrated compilation of barbed epigrams, \"The Devil's Dictionary,\" and a book of short stories ( \"Tales of Soldiers and Civilians,\" 1891). Most of the 16 selections in this volume have been taken from the latter collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNewspaperman, short-story writer, poet, and satirist, Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) is one of the most striking and unusual literary figures America has produced.

Hauntingly suggestive, they offer excellent examples of the author's dark pessimism and storytelling power. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46431148114051,"sku":"SPTM-9780486280387","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9780486280387_spiral.png?v=1769660298","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/civil-war-stories","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
