Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) was an American writer, journalist, and satirist best known for his sharp wit, dark humor, and cynicism. Born in Ohio, he served as a Union soldier during the American Civil War, an experience that profoundly influenced his writing. Bierce is most famous for his collection of short stories, including "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," which explores the blurred lines between reality and illusion. His works often delve into themes of war, death, and the human condition, reflecting his deep skepticism and pessimism. Known for his incisive commentary on society, Bierce was also a prolific editor and journalist, contributing to several prominent publications. Though his later years are shrouded in mystery, his literary legacy endures, influencing generations of writers and readers.
