AN OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK RIDGE

Παρουσίαση

Ambrose Bierce was an American journalist, newspaper editor, misanthrope, writer and wit. His two short story masterpieces, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and One of the Missing, are both brilliant examples of American short fiction at its sharpest. Each is a gripping action tale set in the American Civil War during which Bierce himself saw action at Shiloh and Chickamauga. He was seriously wounded on Kenesaw Mountain in 1864 and promoted to Major in 1867. His death remains an unsolved mystery, - the most likely theory is that he was a fatality of the siege at Ojinaga during the Mexican revolution of 1914. (From the publisher)
