Ambrose Bierce eBooks

eBooks di Ambrose Bierce editi da Enrico Conti di Formato Mobipocket

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.
