A Cynic Looks at Life

Ambrose Bierce is best known for writing The Devil's Dictionary. He is also known for being unsentimental, dark, and so full of vehemence that he was nicknamed "Bitter Bierce".

A Cynic Looks at Life is a collection of essays in which he talks about modern civilization and all its faults, the death penalty and many others. His arguments are still relevant to issues of today.
