«Le Dictionnaire du Diable» is Ambrose Bierce's satirical dictionary, published by Librio in paperback (96 pages, in French).
It brings together some seven hundred ironic definitions with which Ambrose Bierce dismantles the commonplaces of nineteenth-century America: politics, morality, religion and administration pass through a mordant pen that combats the hypocrisy of his time. A classic of satire that works as an antidote to received ideas.
