Ambrose Bierce

    24. Juni 1842 – 1. Jänner 1914

    Ambrose Bierce war ein amerikanischer Journalist und Satiriker, bekannt für seine spöttische Sicht auf die menschliche Natur und seine schonungslosen Kritiken. Sein unverwechselbarer Schreibstil, der oft mit abrupten Anfängen, dunklen Bildern und Kriegsthemen arbeitet, hinterließ einen unauslöschlichen Eindruck in der amerikanischen Literatur. Trotz seines Rufs als "Bitterer Bierce" ermutigte er jüngere Schriftsteller, und seine Werke sprechen Leser bis heute mit ihrem scharfen Witz und ihrer einzigartigen Perspektive an.
