An exquisite collection of fables is the invitation to a banquet of satirical misanthropy Bierce. Out of his implacable pen: hares, turtles, foxes, grapes, insufferable poets, greedy politicians, thieving doctors, sinful saints, corrupt judges, men and women of dubious humanity, are prey to the sarcasm of some of the most lucid authors of the 20th century .

Selected and translated by Marcial Souto, 99 fantastic fables of Ambrose Bierce have been illustrated by Carlos Nine, its best interpreter.
