Bøker av H. L. Mencken

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.

Here Mencken recalls memories of a safe and happy boyhood in the Baltimore of the 1880s.

In 1956, at the end of his career, Mencken had produced three volumes of memoirs and steady stream of journalism. For this book, he collected those pieces he thought most true, most pertinent, or most likely to blow the dust from the reader's brain.
