Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A tidy and well-ordered volume that collects nearly forty Civil War short stories, memoirs, and reminiscences by the celebrated nineteenth-century writer. A rich collection of fine writing."--Kirkus (STARRED review) "Twenty-seven stories, along with some memoirs and reportage ... famous for their unflinching look at the brutality of war" --Publishers Weekly "The most important American writer who served as a combat soldier in the Civil War" --Booklist

Reseña del editor:

Ambrose Bierce didn't just write about the Civil War - he lived through it, on the battlefields and along the picket lines. In so doing he gave birth to a chronicle of men at war previously unseen in the American literary canon. That some of these stories verge on the supernatural, others on factual chronicle, and others balance on the thin line between humour and morbidity in no way detracts from their resonance to the history of the War Between the States.
