A placebo vaccine political correctness

Ambrose Bierce:
Stories
Devil's Dictionary
Now that both takes the teen pseudoterror apollardados is a good time to look back and even descry the origin of a genre that has long fallen into the truism and tocomocho . The publisher will not be Chair always screwing up, of course, and from time to time it right. It is this time of an anthology of stories by Ambrose Bierce, a writer almost unknown in Spain but very flashy in his time. Ambrose Bierce was a soldier rather than a writer. He fought in the American Civil War. Hence, drew a deep bitterness and a very pessimistic (some would say realistic) of the human species. Instead of becoming cynical (also) became bitter. His criticism of the society in which he lived were ruthless. One day, when he is old, Ambrose Bierce decided to disappear. He crossed the Mexican border in the middle of the Zapatista revolution and never heard from again. His body was never found. There remains, however, a superb collection of short stories and a personal dictionary in which definitions are as far from the political correctness that one can imagine. Misanthropy, profanity, cynicism and disappointment seep through the lines of his Devil's Dictionary . Here we have is a choice, of course, a hundred or two hundred words explained to the public by a man who did not believe in men. Tuned, for example, his definition of Christianity, friendship or piracy. To break the box, hear. As the stories are certainly indebted to the work of Poe. Ambrose Bierce as Borges ─ ─ considered the novel an artifice. I could always sought a supernatural explanation to their stories. But even when this is lacking, there is so much despair and pessimism among them that it is a heart in my mouth after reading them. Cruelty at its purest. Poe and Bierce had made good friends. Neither are illusions. If you saw what has become the world would only prove what they already knew: that this is going to hell. Of course, teenagers who read the Twilight saga I do not think they are to appreciate the thorny Bierce literature. Too much for them, I fear.
