Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of the short
story, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" (1890) by Ambrose Bierce. In
this text Bierce creatively uses both structure and content to explore
the concept of time, from present to past, and reflecting its
transitional and illusive qualities. The story is one of Bierce's most
popular and acclaimed works, alongside "The Devil's Dictionary" (1911).
Bierce (1842-c. 1914) was an American writer, journalist and Civil War
veteran associated with the realism literary movement. His writing is
noted for its cynical, brooding tones and structural precision.
