Histoire des Antilles et des colonies françaises, espagnoles, anglaises, danoises et suédoises Book

For those of you who want to explore more of the critical essays of Ambrose Bierce, this is the book for you. My favorite quote from this book is: "There is thunder in Europe, but it is in America that the lightning will fall." As always, I love this man's writings. For Americans, there is Twain and then there is Bierce. And that's really it. Faulkner I don't really hold to their candles because he tried to out wit his readers. You were either with him or you weren't. And if you weren't, you were the joke. While Twain held the light up to expose injustices, Bierce eviscerated his foes through eloquent prose and put them firmly under the lens of his microscope to expose them as individuals, and all their frailties, before the world. Bierce, in his essays, proves that he was a giant in that he took on Giants, and ran them through. This was a great book.
