Produktinformationen zu „The Affair at Coulter's Notch (ePub)“
Much of Bierce's work revolves around the foolish idea of a glorious war, the idea that there is glory in death and violence. This theme can be seen in the title itself, it is a bloody violent battle but it is merely an 'Affair', as such occurrences are regular, everyday things. This is a story which focuses on the divide that the Civil War wreaked in America, tearing families and friendships apart. In this story we follow a Union brigade as they push the retreating Confederate army deeper in to their own territory. The retreating army guards a perilous pass for which Captain Coulter, a Union soldier from a Southern family is sent to take. It is a heart-breaking tale, fraught with brutal imagery much like Mel Gibson's 'Hacksaw Ridge'.-
Autoren-Porträt von Ambrose Bierce
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) was an American author, journalist, critic and soldier, best known for his works of horror and fiction. He was a truly talented writer whose ability was not bound to one genre. His works of horror draw honourable comparison to Edgar Allan Poe and H.P Lovecraft while his more humorous, satirical work draws the comparison to such literary greats as Jonathan Swift and Voltaire. Bierce's 'The Devils Dictionary' has been named one of 'The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature'. His war stories such as 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' and 'Tales of Soldiers and Civilians' are amongst his best works and are said to have inspired Ernest Hemingway and Stephen Crane. Even Bierce's end is as mysterious as one of his own tales, travelling to Mexico to cover the revolution first-hand but never being heard or seen from again.
