Ovo izdanje je na engleskom jeziku.Ambrose Bierce&rsquos The Devil&rsquos Dictionary is a landmark of satirical prose, offering razor-sharp definitions that twist familiar words into startling insights. First appearing in 1911, it unmasks human pretensions, social absurdities, and moral contradictions with mordant wit. Far from a simple parody, the work invites readers to see language&mdashand life itself&mdashthrough a lens of irony and skepticism. More than a century later, its brilliance rains undimmed, speaking to anyone who delights in sharp humor and uncompromising truth.Bierce&rsquos style bridges the gap between Jonathan Swift and modern cynicism. It continues to influence writers and humorists who admire its daring blend of linguistic play and philosophical bite.
