An Occurrence at Owl Creek (Annotated) Ambrose Bierce

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its characteristics. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective. Incident at the Owl Creek Bridge (An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge) - sometimes translated into Spanish as: An incident at the Owl Bridge - is a horror account of the American writer Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914), originally published in the July 13, 1890 edition of the San Francisco Examiner, and then reissued in the anthology of 1891: Tales of Soldiers and Civilians (Tales of Soldiers and Civilians). An incident at the Owl Creek Bridge, probably one of Ambrose Bierce's most notable stories, puts us in the American Civil War, where a group of soldiers prepare to execute a prisoner.
