The Devil's Dictionary

The Devil's Dictionary by Bierce, Ambrose. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781582343808.

Bierces classic work of satirical wit and Steadmans pointed pen redefine the way we see even the seemingly simplest of terms. Acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough to borrow from but not well enough to lend to. Bride, n.: A woman with a great future behind her. Consult, v: To seek anothers approval of a course already decided on. Ambrose Bierces "dictionary" of epigrams, essays, verses, and vignettes targets the religious, the romantic, the political, and the economic, in equal measure. The book you need to define both friends and enemies, The Devils Dictionary is also the perfect gift, showcasing Bierces razor-sharp wit and Ralph Steadmans incisive pen to their best advantage.
