Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One sunny afternoon in the autumn of the year 1861 a soldier lay in a clump of laurel by the side of a road in western Virginia. He lay at full length upon his stomach, his feet resting upon the toes, his head upon the left forearm. His extended right hand loosely grasped his rifle. But for the somewhat methodical disposition of his limbs and a slight rhythmic movement of the cartridge-box at the back of his belt he might have been thought to be dead. He was asleep at his post of duty. But if detected he would be dead shortly afterward, death being the just and legal penalty of his crime. The clump of laurel in which the criminal lay was in the angle of a road which after ascending southward a steep acclivity to that point turned sharply to the west, running along the summit for perhaps one hundred yards. There it turned southward again and went zigzagging downward through the forest. At the salient of that second angle was a large flat rock, jutting out northward, overlooking the deep valley from which the road ascended. The rock capped a high cliff; a stone dropped from its outer edge would have fallen sheer downward one thousand feet to the tops of the pines. The angle where the soldier lay was on another spur of the same cliff. Had he been awake he would have commanded a view, not only of the short arm of the road and the jutting rock, but of the entire profile of the cliff below it. It might well have made him giddy to look.
Download or read book The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce written by Ambrose Bierce and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce, known in journalistic circles as 'Bitter Bierce' was by turns a Civil War soldier, journalist, columnist, editor, editor, fabulist and satirist, and author of short stories. He is chiefly remembered today for "The Cynic's Word Book," aka "The Devil's Dictionary." This volume includes many stories critics have long numbered among his best. The first section, 'Soldiers' includes Civil War adventures, some likely his own experiences. The 'Civilians' section is more humorous, but not without the sting of satire. As always with Bierce, the observations are colored by his individual, iconoclastic, contentious and continual nonconformity.

Book excerpt: "The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce" is a two-volume set of the complete works of American author Ambrose Bierce, including his essays, stories, poems, and articles. Volume 02 comprises a selection of Bierce's short stories. The stories in this volume are arranged chronologically, starting with his early work and moving on to his later, more mature stories. Bierce's writing style is characterized by its wit, satire, and dark humor. Many of his stories explore themes such as death, war, and the supernatural. Some notable stories in this volume include "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," a haunting tale of a Confederate soldier's execution during the American Civil War; "Chickamauga," a gruesome account of a young boy's encounter with the horrors of war; and "A Holy Terror," a chilling tale of a creature that is invisible to the human eye. Overall, this volume provides a comprehensive look at Bierce's development as a writer and his unique style, which has made him one of the most influential and enduring figures in American literature.
