Ambrose Bierce showcases his satirical talent through tall tales and sketches that critique various human shortcomings, including media excesses, business corruption, and class absurdities. His narratives explore nautical follies in stories like "The Jeannette and the Corwin" and "The History of Windbag the Sailor," while also highlighting the harsh realities of life in the American West in pieces such as "A Mirage in Arizona." These works reflect Bierce's sharp wit and keen observation of societal flaws.
