Sinopse

Welcome to the 7 Best Short Stories book series, were we present to you the best works of remarkable authors. This edition is dedicated to Ambrose Bierce. Ambrose Bierce was an American short story writer, journalist, poet, and Civil War veteran. His book The Devil's Dictionary was named as one of "The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature" by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration. Although his caustic and satirical style granted him notoriety as a journalist, nowadays he is remembered for his incursions into the genre of terror, influencing authors of the stature of H.P. Lovecraft, and is considered one of the most significant of the nineteenth century, together with others such as Edgar Allan Poe and Guy de Maupassant. Profoundly misanthropic, expressed in his writings his distrust of the human race, distrust expressed with a critical attitude that earned him the nickname of Bitter Bierce. This selection specially chosen by the literary critic August Nemo, contains the following stories: - An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. - One Summer Night. - The Death Of Halpin Frayser. - The Moonlit Road. - A Psychological Shipwreck. - The Stranger. - The Middle Toe of the Right Foot.
