Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Devil´s Dictionary The Devil´s Dictionary was begun in a weekly paper in 1881, and was continued in a desultory way and at long intervals until 1906. In that year a large part of it was published in covers with the title The Cynic´s Word Book, a name which the author had not the power to reject nor the happiness to approve. To quote the publishers of the present work: "This more reverent title had previously been forced upon him by the religious scruples of the last newspaper in which a part of the work had appeared, with the natural consequence that when it came out in covers the country already had been flooded by its imitators with a score of ´cynic´ books - The Cynic´s This, The Cynic´s That, and The Cynic´s t´Other. Most of these books were merely stupid, though some of them added the distinction of silliness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
