Download or read book Essential Bierce written by Ambrose Bierce and published by Heyday Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Writing. Fiction. A contemporary presentation of work by the great nineteenth-century satirist, journalist, and horror writer. Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) was an American satirist, critic, poet, short story writer, editor, and journalist. He eventually became the literary despot of the West Coast, so admired and feared that his review could make or break an aspiring author's career. Bierce's lucid, economic style and lack of maudlin sentiment have kept him popular while many of his once famous contemporaries have become obscure. Known best for the pithy and acerbic DEVIL'S DICTIONARY, which is excerpted in this anthology, Bierce is also regarded as one of the finest storytellers of the nineteenth century; his war and horror stories are especially compelling. Poetry and correspondence round out this selection from one of California's most curmudgeonly yet beloved authors.

Can Such Things Be? Once William Randolph Hearst -- Bierce's employer, who was bragging about his own endless collections of statuary, art, books, tapestries, and, of course real estate like Hearst Castle -- once William Randolph Hearst asked Bierce what he collected. Bierce responded, smugly: "I collect words. And ideas. Like you, I also store them. But in the reservoir of my mind. I can take them out and display them at a moment's notice. Eminently portable, Mr. Hearst. And I don't find it necessary to show them all at the same time."
