Story
This is a judicious selection of H. L. Mencken's insightful and witty observations, which were written and published before 1923. Mencken popularized Nietzche in America and was not shy or hesitant in pointing out the ironies and contradictions of American life. Brilliant, controversial, and acerbic. Mencken was a thinker before his time when it came to the conflict between religion and science.

Story
Famed journalist, satirist, and cultural critic Henry Louis (H. L.) Mencken is known as the chief heretic of the American civic religion for a reason. From the corruption of politicians to the dangers of mob rule, Mencken explores the pitfalls of democracy with his trademark irreverence and insight. In our age of demagogues, Notes on Democracy is as relevant today as it was nearly a century ago.

Story
American author, scholar, and satirist H.L. Mencken wrote The American Language in 1919, intending to defend American speech from prescriptivist critics. "America itself is unutterably vulgar. But vulgarity, after all, means no more than a yielding to natural impulses in the face of conventional inhibitions, and that yielding to natural impulses is at the heart of all healthy language-making."
