{"product_id":"devils-dictionary","title":"Devil's Dictionary","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in Ohio in 1842, journalist, short-story writer and critic Ambrose Bierce developed into one of this country\\'s most celebrated and cynical wits - a merciless \\\"American Swift\\\" whose literary barbs were aimed at folly, self-delusion, politics, business, reliegion, literature and the arts. In this splendid \\\"dictionary\\\" of epigrams, essays, verses and vignettes, you\\'ll find over 1,000 pointed definitions, e.g. Congratulation (\\\"The civility of envy\\\"), Coward (\\\"One who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs\\\") and Historian (\\\"A broad-guage gossip\\\"). Anyone who likes to laugh will love \\\"the Devil\\'s Dictionary.\\\" Anyone looking for a bon mot to enliven their next speech, paper or conversation will have a field day thumbing through what H.L. Mencken called \\\"some of the most gorgeous witticisms in the English language.\\\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"sureshotbooks.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41666164556013,"sku":"9780486275420","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/sureshotbooks-com-devil-s-dictionary-32915730989293.gif?v=1643113216","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/devils-dictionary","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
