In Defense of Women
ISBN: 9781434103642 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 121 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Crackling with controversy and caustic wit, In Defense of Women is H. L. Mencken's irreverent look at the relationship between the sexes. Although Mencken didn't champion women's rights, he described women as wiser than men and cited numerous examples of the female's overwhelming skill and cunning. Originally published in 1922, this book considers topics that remain of vital interest to today's readers, including monogamy, prostitution, the double standard, sexual harassment, and declining birth and marriage rates. Written in Mencken's characteristic no-nonsense manner, In Defense of Women is...

Prejudices: Second Series
ISBN: 9781541327047 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Henry Louis Mencken (September 12, 1880 - January 29, 1956) was an American journalist, satirist, cultural critic and scholar of American English. Known as the "Sage of Baltimore," he is regarded as one of the most influential American writers and prose stylists of the first half of the twentieth century. He commented widely on the social scene, literature, music, prominent politicians and contemporary movements. His satirical reporting on the Scopes trial, which he dubbed the "Monkey Trial," also gained him attention. In the six volumes of Prejudices (1919-1927), Mencken attacked what he...

Minority Report
ISBN: 9780801856587 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 293 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1956 Mencken could look back on a long and distinguished career that included years at the top of his profession, the publication of three volumes of memoirs, and a steady stream of journalism that made him loved and hated, sometimes by the same person. For Minority Report, he read through his notebooks, extracting those pieces he thought most true, most pertinent, most precise or most likely to blow the dust out of a reader's brain. Here he shows off his skill with the aphorism, or stinger: The most expensive thing on earth is to believe in something that is palpably not true; We must...

In Defense of Women
ISBN: 9781523245222 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. American author, journalist and unrepentant iconoclast, H. L. Mencken believed that "the average woman, whatever her deficiencies, is greatly superior to the average man. The very ease with which she defies and swindles him in several capital situations of life is the clearest of proofs of her general superiority." First published in 1922, just a few years after American women had achieved the right to vote, In Defense of Women considers topics that are still of vital interest in the 21st Century. Topics covered include female suffrage, marriage, prostitution, the double standard, sexual...

Friedrich Nietzsche
ISBN: 9781560006497 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 351 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The decisive influence of Friedrich Nietzsche on H.L. Mencken is readily acknowledged in the vast literature on the great American journalist and social critic. However, Mencken's 1908 study of the philosopher has been relegated to footnote status by Mencken's critics and biographers and has been largely ignored by Nietzsche scholars. There are good reasons for reversing this judgment. Mencken's work was one of the first comprehensive and sympathetic treatments of Nietzsche's thought in the English language. It is a provocative engagement with the German philosopher's complex and elusive... The decisive influence of Friedrich Nietzsche on H.L.

My Life as Author and Editor
ISBN: 9780679741022 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. H. L. Mencken stipulated that this memoir remain sealed in a vault for thirty-five years after his death. For good reason: My Life as Author and Editor is so telling and uproariously opinionated that it might have provoked a storm of libel suits. As he recounts his career as a critic, essayist, and editor of the ground-breaking magazine Smart Set, Mencken brings us face to face with the literary aristocracy of his day, from the dour womanizer Theodore Dreiser to F. Scott Fitzgerald, drowning his gifts in alcohol. Here, too, are the hacks, poseurs, and bohemian crackpots who...

The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche
ISBN: 9781612039640 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche and the music (and quasi-music) of Richard Strauss: herein we have our modern substitutes for Shakespeare and the musical glasses. There is no escaping Nietzsche. You may hold him a hissing and a mocking and lift your virtuous skirts as you pass him by, but his roar is in your ears and his blasphemies sink into your mind. He has colored the thought and literature, the speculation and theorizing, the politics and superstition of the time. He reigns as king in the German universities - where, since Luthers day, all the worlds most painful thinking has been...
