| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce, Volume 09" by Ambrose Bierce is a collection of essays and thought pieces written in the early 20th century. This volume delves into various topics, reflecting Bierce's sharp wit and critical perspective on society and human nature. The essays range from satirical observations on civilization's quirks to thoughtful critiques on social issues like poverty and socialism. At the start of this volume, Bierce introduces the theme of human senses and societal changes by discussing the diminishing sense of smell among "civilized" people compared to savages. He humorously contemplates the potential consequences of this decline, suggesting that the loss of the olfactory sense may contribute to humanity's eventual degeneration. Through a variety of anecdotes and historical references, he reflects on how civilization impacts not just physical attributes but also societal dynamics, hinting at the overall absurdity and folly inherent within modern life. This opening establishes Bierce's style and thematic concerns that characterize the essays to follow, setting the stage for his engaging, often cynical exploration of contemporary issues.
