Autorenporträt
Ambrose Bierce (1842-c. 1914) was an American writer, journalist, and satirist known for his dark wit, biting social commentary, and mastery of the short story form. Born in Ohio and raised in Indiana, Bierce served in the Union Army during the American Civil War an experience that deeply influenced much of his writing. He is best known for his short stories of war and the macabre, such as An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, and for The Devil's Dictionary, a cynical and humorous lexicon of human nature. Bierce's sharp prose and fearless criticism earned him both admiration and controversy. In 1913, he mysteriously disappeared while traveling in Mexico, and his fate remains one of American literature's enduring mysteries.
