Ambrose Bierce
: the
Devil's dictionary
In June 1913 Ambrose Bierce went to Mexico where he disappeared. It is not
known exactly when or how he died but it has been suggested he was killed in
January, 1914. Ambrose Bierce's classic work, The Devil's Dictionary was first
published under the title, The Cynic's Word Book, in 1906. Definitions include:
Learning (the kind of ignorance distinguishing the studious); Education (that
which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of
understanding); History (an account mostly false, of events mostly unimportant,
which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves, and soldiers mostly fools); Mad
(affected with a high degree of intellectual independence); Happiness (an
agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another) and
Positive (mistaken at the top of one's voice).

"Hawthorne's classic tragedy of love and morals in Puritan New
England. When Hester Prynne bears an illegitimate child she is
introduced to the ugliness, complexity, and ultimately the strength
of the human spirit. Though set in Puritan community centuries ago,
the moral dilemmas of personal responsibility, and consuming
emotions
of guilt, anger, loyalty, and revenge are timeless." (1850) Hemingway : søg selv !
