The Letters of Ambrose Bierce, With a Memoir by George Sterling


Book Description

Ambrose Bierce could be described as the most famous prose writer you never heard of. He had grown up relatively uneducated on his father's farm, but with a vast stock of knowledge gained from reading. He served with distinction during the American Civil War, and was awarded the rank of Major, but he declined to be known by this title. His whole life seemed to be mysterious, but there is no doubting the skill and artistry of his writing.

Book Description

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description

This book contains a memoir and numerous letters written by the American writer, Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce.

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842 - 1914) was an editor, journalist, and writer of short stories, as well as a keen satirist. His personal mantra "Nothing matters" and his cynical view of human nature earned him the moniker "Bitter Bierce".

It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
