"My Aunt Mary was one of the most fair-minded women that I have ever met.
"I found my uncle down on his knees engaged in skinning a sheep. Seeing that he had neither gun nor pistol handy I had not the heart to shoot him, so I approached him, greeted him pleasantly and struck him a powerful blow on the head with the butt of m. . . Read More

A quick, amusing read that appealed to my sense of humour.
The least I can say about this work is that it is elegant! This collection reflects the wonderful creativity of an author who wrote mostly during the 1800s and up to the early decades of the 20th century; that is to say a long time prior to the emergence of neuroscience, neurocognitive theories, and
Η εποχή μας είναι μια εποχή του απροσδόκητου, του έκτακτου - του παράξενου και του αδρανώς εκφυλισμένου. Ποιος είναι ο καλύτερος χρόνος για να αναστηθούν οι ιστορίες του Ambrose Bierce;
Άγριος και αδιάφορος στην φρικιαστικά κωμική προσέγγιση της ζωής και του θανάτου μέσω εγκληματικών ενεργειών φανερώ
Είναι ένα υπέροχο μικρό βιβλίο! Ο κυνισμός και η ειρωνεία του μου άρεσαν. Σίγουρα θα αναζητήσω και άλλα βιβλία του συγγραφέα.
Ανούσια βίαιο και ωμό κατ εμέ. Περίμενα να τελειώσει και δεν το απόλαυσα καθόλου.
ΥΓ: Πολύ όμορφη και προσεγμένη ωστόσο η έκδοση από την ΆΓΡΑ και το δεύτερο αστεράκι πάει εκεί μόνο.
Πόσο καταπληκτικά κυνικό και μοναδικά ανατρεπτικό για την εποχή του? Εξαιρετικά αλληγορικό και σύγχρονα παρανοϊκό το μικρό αυτό βιβλιαράκι με τις ιστορίες γενοκτονίας! Προτείνεται ανεπιφύλακτα!
La mayoría de sus relatos son de fantasmas, un libro ácido, ingenioso, grotesco, me encantó el cinismo de sus protagonistas, convencidos de que sus actos de asesinato son completamente justificables, y sin remordimientos.
..Έχοντας ως βασικά και στέρεα υλικά της αλλόκοτης γραφής του, το μαύρο χιούμορ κ το γκροτέσκο ο Ambrose Pierce διηγείται μέσα από τους αντιήρωες του, την εξόντωση με την πιο αλλοπρόσαλλη μέθοδο που μπορεί να σκαρφιστεί κανείς, συγγενών, γονέων κ λοιπών παράπλευρων θυμάτων.. Ωστόσο, μέσα από την τρα
Me regresó el gusto por el horror en sus forma cruda y al mismo tiempo la ironía y una refinada búsqueda del alma en el género humano... Excelente lectura para un domingo después de ir a misa!
I love it. I just...love it. It probably makes me a bad person, but I love the assumption of all of Bierce's characters that they are decent people. "Whether or not [hypnotism] could be employed by a bad man for an unworthy purpose, I am unable to say," says the protagonist after mesmerizing his par
