Beschreibung
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 Day"s, "Prejudices," "Treatise on the Gods," "On Politics," "Thirty-Five Years of Newspaper Work," "Minority Report," and "A Second Mencken Chrestomathy."
In the third volume of his autobiography, H. L. Mencken covers a range of subjects, from Hoggie Unglebower, the best dog trainer in Christendom, to his visit to the Holy Land, where he looked for the ruins of Gomorrah.

Über den Autor
Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) was one of America's most prolific authors, essayists and critics of the first half of the twentieth century. His most scholarly venture remains the multi-volume "The American Language," a wide-ranging study of how English is spoken in the USA. In all, he published well over 40 books, and numerous essays during his lifetime. His home in Baltimore has been maintained as a museum honoring his work.
