    About this ebook

    Prejudices contain several insightful essays by the American journalist and essayist H. L. Mencken. In this modern political discourse, he attacked what he deemed to be American provincialism and hypocrisy with humor, satire, and excellent words in his writings. His views on the American civilization of that time were refreshing and covered many prevalent yet ignored problems in the country. Contents include: On Being an American Huneker: a Memory Footnote on Criticism Das Kapital Ad Imaginem Dei Creavit Illum Star-Spangled Men The Poet and His Art Five Men at Random The Nature of Liberty The Novel The Forward-looker Memorial Service Education The Dismal Science Matters of State Reflections on the Drama Advice to Young Men Suite Américaine
