Nato a Horse Cave Creek (Ohio) nel 1842 in una famiglia numerosa (era il decimo figlio), Ambrose Bierce girò in lungo e in largo per gli Stati Uniti vivendo di espedienti. Apprese l’arte della cartografia, che gli permise di arruolarsi nell’esercito come volontario nel 1861. A ventiquattro anni lasciò la vita militare e raggiunse San Francisco, dove iniziò la sua carriera di giornalista e scrittore. I suoi racconti vennero ritenuti tra i migliori dell’Ottocento. La sua morte è uno dei misteri della letteratura americana: a settantun anni partì per il Messico in piena guerra civile e scomparve durante la battaglia di Ojinaga nel 1914.

The Devil's Dictionary is a satirical dictionary written by American journalist Ambrose Bierce, consisting of common words followed by humorous and satirical definitions. The lexicon was written over three decades as a series of installments for magazines and newspapers. Bierce's witty definitions were imitated and plagiarized for years before he gathered them into books, first as The Cynic's Word Book in 1906 and then in a more complete version as The Devil's Dictionary in 1911.
