Damn! A Book of Calumny

Více o knize

H.L. Mencken's work offers a sharp and humorous critique on a diverse range of topics, from prominent figures like William Jennings Bryan to cultural institutions such as zoos and classical music. His bombastic and verbose style embodies the quintessential American cynic, making for an engaging read as he challenges societal norms and beliefs. Even if readers may not always agree with his viewpoints, his insights are invaluable for grasping the American mindset in the three decades leading up to World War II.
