He left behind a bad reputation and more than ninety short stories that are excellent manifestations of his sarcastic genius. Brought together in this volume, these stories represent an exceptional accomplishment in American literature. In their dissent and sharp irony, their formal and thematic ingenuity, and their element of surprise, they differ markedly from the fiction admired in Bierces time. Readers familiar with the classic An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge will want to turn to Bierces other Civil War stories. Also included here are his horror stories, among them The Death of Halpin Frayser and The Damned Thing, and such tall tales as Oil of Dog and A Cargo of Cat."Happiness may come if not sought, but if looked for will never be seen;"Ambrose Bierce (The Complete Short Stories of Ambrose Bierce)</p>...1400979The Complete Short Stories of Ambrose Bierce2020https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-complete-short-stories-of-ambrose-bierce-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/565881/558154cd-a958-4c6a-a73f-ee629616d133.jpg?v=638335320106000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239789354996856_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_<p>Ambrose Bierce achieved a public persona as "Bitter Bierce" and "the devils lexicographer," before he went into the wilds of Mexico, never to be heard from again.
