Satirical lexicon dissecting societal hypocrisies.
If you enjoy sharp wit wrapped in satire, "The Devil's Dictionary" might just be your next favorite read. Ambrose Bierce's work offers a tongue-in-cheek redefinition of everyday terms to reveal the inherent irony and double standards of social norms. It's a clever and humorous book that, beyond making you chuckle, will make you ponder the absurdities of the English language and human nature.
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
