Opis

With a style that combined biting sarcasm with the -language of the free lunch counter, - Henry Louis Mencken shook politics and politicians for nearly half a century. Now, fifty years after Mencken's death, the Johns Hopkins University Press announces The Buncombe Collection, newly packaged editions of nine Mencken classics: Happy Days, Heathen Days, Newspaper Days, Prejudices, Treatise on the Gods, On Politics, Thirty-Five Years of Newspaper Work, Minority Report, and A Second Mencken Chrestomathy.These thirty-five essays--each a stick of dynamite with a burning fuse--have been selected from six volumes originally published between 1919 and 1927.
