If you're going to talk the talk, walk the walk. The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce, Volume 2: In the Midst of Life: Tales of Soldiers and Civilians Ambrose G. Bierce (USA, 1842 – circa 1914). Journalist · Writer • Civil War Soldier & Battle Veteran (1861-1866). The sardonic view of human nature that informed his work – along with his vehemence as a critic, with his motto "nothing matters" – earned him the nickname "Bitter Bierce."... though he was known to encourage younger writers ... Bierce employed a distinctive style of writing, especially in his stories. This style often embraces an abrupt beginning, dark imagery, vague references to time, limited descriptions, the theme of war, and impossible events. Bierce is a master of the surprise ending. As a veteran of the American Civil War (and like many veterans) anger simmers just below the surface ... in his life and in his stories. - GR SOLDIERS 1. A Horseman in the Sky 2.

This revised edition of Ambrose Bierce's 1892 collection of "Soldiers" and "Civilians" tales fills a void in American literature. A veteran of the Civil War and a journalist known for his integrity and biting satire, Ambrose Bierce was also a lively short-story writer of considerable depth and power. As San Francisco's most famous journalist during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, Bierce was hired by William Randolph Hearst to write a column for San Francisco Examiner, where his "Soldiers" and "Civilians" tales first appeared during the late 1880s.By the standards of his day and ours, Bierce's journalism was often brilliantly insightful, viciously libelous, petty, and grand, frequently in the space of a single paragraph. This edition reveals the often compelling artistry of Bierce's original versions of the tales and the intentionally intricate design and scope of the original collection.
