Bierce's classic work of satirical wit and Steadman's pointed pen redefine the way we see even the seemingly simplest of terms.
Acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough to borrow from but not well enough to lend to.
Bride, n.: A woman with a great future behind her.
Consult, v: To seek another's approval of a course already decided on.
Ambrose Bierce's "dictionary" of epigrams, essays, verses, and vignettes targets the religious, the romantic, the political, and the economic, in equal measure. The book you need to define both friends and enemies, The Devil's Dictionary is also the perfect gift, showcasing Bierce's razor-sharp wit and Ralph Steadman's incisive pen to their best advantage.
挺过火的黑色幽默,没有体系所以跳看了一遍。吐槽虽然犀利,但大多数词条其实是刻意的叛逆和讽刺,所以看完之后倒头就睡,并没觉得充满了罪过。
评分Bierce was an extraordinarily handsome man, so I'll just forgive him for hollow sarcasm.
评分有趣!
评分I'm sorry I'm not that into this book...
