The Cynic's Word Book is a satirical lexicon written by American writer and journalist Ambrose Bierce. Originally published in 1906 under the title The Devil's Dictionary, the book is a collection of humorous and often scathing definitions of words and phrases commonly used in the English language. Bierce's wit and sarcasm are on full display as he skewers politicians, religion, and society at large, while also offering clever insights into human nature. The book's entries range from the absurdly comical to the bitingly cynical, making it a classic work of American humor and satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
