About this listen
In An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Ambrose Bierce spins a gripping tale of psychological tension and the brutal realities of war. Set during the American Civil War, the story follows Peyton Farquhar, a Southern plantation owner who is sentenced to death by hanging for attempting to sabotage a Union railroad bridge. As Farquhar faces his imminent demise, Bierce masterfully plays with the boundaries of time and perception, drawing readers into a haunting exploration of life, death, and the mind's final moments.
Bierce's stark portrayal of human suffering, the futility of war, and the illusory nature of time makes this story a striking commentary on the fragility of human existence. Through its sudden twist ending, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge remains one of Bierce's most iconic works, a brilliant reflection on the contrast between hope and despair.
