Fantastic Fables

Fantastic Fables is a collection of witty and satirical short stories written by Ambrose Bierce. The book presents a unique blend of humor, irony, and sarcasm, as the author uses animals and inanimate objects to convey his messages. Each fable is a self-contained story, with its own plot and characters, but all of them share a common theme: they are meant to teach a moral lesson or to criticize a social or political issue. Some of the fables are humorous and lighthearted, while others are darker and more thought-provoking. The book is a classic of American literature and a must-read for anyone who enjoys satire and allegory.1898.
