Book excerpt: This work by American social critic H.L. Mencken contains brief mini-essays on a wide variety of subjects. While Mencken has been called many things?cynic, misanthrope and elitist?there is no doubt that he was funny. The mini-essay form (with pieces only a few sentences long) shows that Mencken's wit sparkled best in the shortest prose. Modern readers should know, however, that some of Mencken's writing can seem out of date, especially concerning gender and race.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... An American Philosopher As for William Jennings Bryan, of whom so much piffle, pro and con, has been written, the whole of his political philosophy may be reduced to two propositions, neither of which is true. The first is the proposition that the common people are wise and honest, and the second is the proposition that all persons who refuse to believe it are scoundrels. Take away the two, and all that would remain of Jennings would be a somewhat greasy baldheaded man with his mouth open. Clubs Men's clubs have but one intelligible purpose: to afford asylum to fellows who haven't any girls. Hence their general gloom, their air of lost causes, their prevailing acrimony. No man would ever enter a club if he had an agreeable woman to talk to. This is particularly true of married men. Those of them that one finds in clubs answer to a general description: they have wives too unattractive to entertain them, and yet too watchful to allow them to seek entertainment elsewhere. The bachelors, in the main, belong to two classes: (a) those who have been unfortunate in amour, and are still too sore to show any new enterprise, and (b) those so lacking in charm that no woman will pay any attention to them. Is it any wonder that the men one thus encounters in clubs are stupid and miserable creatures, and that they find their pleasure in such banal sports as playing cards, drinking highballs, shooting pool, and reading the barber-shop weeklies?... The day a man's mistress is married one always finds him at his club. Fidelis Ad Urnum Despite the common belief of women to the contrary, fully 95 per cent. of all married men, at least in America, are faithful to their wives. This, however, is not due to virtue, but chiefly to lack of courage. It takes more...

Download or read book A Book of Calumny (Classic Reprint) written by H. L. Mencken and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Calumny The title borne by this little boo was not my invention, and got my imprimatur only rather grudgingly and at the last moment. I consented to it, in fact, simply to avoid a long and costly telegraphic debate with the publisher, from whom I was separated by 200 miles. The Damn part seemed to me to be too heavily dev ilish and sforzando - a fit label for a book by a sensational gentleman of God or a wicked college professor. As for the Book of Calumny part, it plainly mis represented the work itself, which is chicfiy devoted, not to calumniating things, but to defending and praising them. Thus, I even go so far as to speak for alcohol, war and the Jews, all of which are usually execrated: Still more, I argue that 99 per cent. Of the married men of America are faithful to their wives: a doc trine absolutely novel, and so much atodds with current superstition as to appear almost ironical.

Download or read book Damn! written by Henry Louis Mencken and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Louis Mencken 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 20th 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. As a scholar, Mencken is known for The American Language, a multi-volume study of how the English language is spoken in the United States. As an admirer of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, he was a detractor of religion, populism and representative democracy, which he believed to be a system in which inferior men dominated their superiors. Mencken was a supporter of scientific progress, skeptical of economic theories and critical of osteopathic and chiropractic medicine. Mencken opposed American entry into World War I and World War II. His diary indicates that he was a racist and anti-semite, and privately used coarse language and slurs to describe various ethnic and racial groups (though he believed it was in poor taste to use such slurs publicly). Mencken also at times seemed to show a genuine enthusiasm for militarism, though never in its American form. "War is a good thing," he once wrote, "because it is honest, it admits the central fact of human nature... A nation too long at peace becomes a sort of gigantic old maid." Mencken's longtime home in the Union Square neighborhood of West Baltimore was turned into a city museum, the H. L. Mencken House. His papers were distributed among various city and university libraries, with the largest collection held in the Mencken Room at the central branch of Baltimore's Enoch Pratt Free Library.
