Devil's Dictionary
Literature魔鬼辞典
(us) Ambrose Bierce
Ambrose Bierce, the eccentric American literary figure, uses the form of a dictionary to rectify and define everything in the world, subverting the fundamental attitude you and I have towards everything. It presents a thought channel that is always beyond the readers' expectations, and provides infinitely interesting and free innovative thinking on human nature, life, society, philosophy and other issues. The amount of information is huge, igniting the vitality and freedom of mechanical and mediocre daily life. With sharp words, he accurately pierces the weaknesses and shadows in human nature that are shy to be exposed and difficult to face; with the posture of a devil, he declares war on the mechanical simplicity of popular culture and consumerism, and constantly innovates and creates; with spicy thinking, he opens up the intellectual space of words, dissolves meaning, and embraces infinite fun. A dictionary of all things that subverts all inherent concepts, a masterpiece of wisdom that refuses to be profound but is always profound.
