Product Description

American journalist and satirist Ambrose Bierce is probably best known for his short stories about the American Civil War. The author's craft for story-telling is exemplified by his famous "An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge", which is the story of Peyton Farquhar, a Confederate sympathizer condemned to die by hanging upon the Owl Creek Bridge. That great short story along with 96 others forms this exhaustive edition of "The Complete Short Stories of Ambrose Bierce."

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great writer--great book, Nov. 19 2004
This review is from: Complete Bierce Stories (Paperback)
So many authors owe a debt of thanks to Ambrose Bierce and his excellently crafted stories. Most of us encountered at least one of his gems in elementary or high school, but the smattering was not usually enough. THE COMPLETE STORIES OF AMBROSE BIERCE is a must for anyone interested in American literature. A master or horror, Gothic, and deep emotions, this writer is not given enough credit today. Faulkner is probably the closest thing, or maybe some of Crane's stories, but really none can compare with Bierce. These haunting and intricate tales hold up as well today as they did a century ago. In fact, they're better than most of what you'll read nowadays. An author who owes a debt of thanks, is Jackson McCrae. I recently read his CHILDREN'S CORNER and was amazed at how influenced he must have been by Bierce. Especially with the title story in the collection. It was like a modern version of what Bierce might have come up with himself.

5.0étoiles sur 5 I suppose this must be death, Oct. 17 2001
Par Doug Anderson (Miami Beach, Florida United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Complete Bierce Stories (Paperback)
Ambrose Bierce's most famous story is An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and many of his stories follow that same kind of pattern: an event is related with some surprising or revelatory twist at the end. The stories of the Civil War are especially interesting as they are not at all typical writings about war. Bierce does not see the battle so much as one of North against South rather he sees the war as the child sees the war in his story Chickamauga, his attitude is one combining fascination at the spectacle and utter disgust. Life is an unresolved jumble of confused forces and mixed emotions for everyone in Bierce's haunting tales that read like dreams but dreams informed by much contact with reality as Bierce was wounded twice(once in the head)in the war he describes. The descriptions of Civil War battles are told with great precision(and alone make this volume worth having) though there is always an additional element to make them more than war reportage, Bierce turns his accounts into stories because he sees through all the cannon smoke to the small detail which encapsulates the essential thing about an event. In one of my favorites, Killed at Resaca, a courageous captain gallops across a field to deliver a crucial message only to find the field is impassable because of a deep gully, instead of turning around however he merely waits for the enemy to shoot him. Going through his personal things a fellow soldier, the narrator of the story, finds a letter which explains this resolve. The letter reads:"...I could bear to hear of my soldier- lover's death, but not of his cowardice." Later, when the narrator has a chance to return the letter to its author he is asked by her how her soldier-lover died. "He was bitten by a snake,"is the narrators reply. Bierce's pen was dipped in wormwood and acid said H.L. Mencken. His stories of soldiers and civilians are told with a bitter and venomous clarity. His humor was always of the sort aquainted with the gallows. He said at age 71,"I am so old I am ashamed to be alive." And so he rode off to Mexico. It's hard to imagine Stephen Crane existing without the example of Ambrose Bierce just as it is hard to imagine Bierce without Poe. What a strange tradition of independents we have.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Great collection of short stories, the title is incorrect, Fév 26 2004
Par Tom "sleepytom" (Denver, CO United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Complete Bierce Stories (Paperback)
Ambrose Bierce was a fine writer and this is a good sampling of his short stories. It is not, however, a complete collection of his short stories. I particularly missed "One Summer Night" and there are a number of other stories that could have been been included. Still, this collection is well worth reading.

After reading about Ambrose Bierce and his fierce wit this book was a real let down. Too many stories, all of a similar vein. I should have gotten the Devil's Dictionary!!!
