Bierce's classic work of satirical wit and Steadman's pointed pen redefine the way we see even the seemingly simplest of terms.
Acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough to borrow from but not well enough to lend to.
Bride, n.: A woman with a great future behind her.
Consult, v: To seek another's approval of a course already decided on.
Ambrose Bierce's "dictionary" of epigrams, essays, verses, and vignettes targets the religious, the romantic, the political, and the economic, in equal measure. The book you need to define both friends and enemies, The Devil's Dictionary is also the perfect gift, showcasing Bierce's razor-sharp wit and Ralph Steadman's incisive pen to their best advantage.

有趣!
评分Bierce was an extraordinarily handsome man, so I'll just forgive him for hollow sarcasm.
评分作者自带深井冰光环;词典中泥石流的存在~
评分Diverting and tiresome. Although we can get some meaningful points from the new angle of interpretations about it, in fact, most of the extensions of these words r still rootless, which r constructed by the author's own world views. One-sided. But since all the talking about this dictionary is nonsense, then I think I'm sleepwalking.
