Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914) was a short story writer, an editorialist, a satirist and a journalist. He is best known for his Devil's Dictionary. His sardonic view of human nature and his tough stance as a critic earned him the nickname Bitter Bierce. Despite his reputation Bierce always encouraged young writers. Bierce went to Mexico to get a first hand view of the revolution. He disappeared without a trace. This large collection of fables includes The Moral Principle and the Material Interest -- The Crimson Candle -- The Blotted Escutcheon and the Soiled Ermine -- The Ingenious Patriot -- Two Kings -- An Officer and a Thug -- The Conscientious Official -- How Leisure Came and much more.
