PREJUDICES FOURTH SERIES BY H. L. MENCKEN【電子書籍】[ H. L. MENCKEN ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Henry Louis Mencken (September 12, 1880 January 29, 1956) was an American journalist, essayist, satirist, cultural critic, and scholar of American English. He commented widely on the social scene, literature, music, prominent politicians, and contemporary movements. His satirical reporting on the Scopes Trial, which he dubbed theMonkey 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 an outspoken opponent of organized religion, theism, and representative democracy, the last of which he viewed as a system in which inferior men dominated their superiors. Mencken was a supporter of scientific progress and was critical of osteopathy and chiropractic. He was also an open critic of economics. Mencken opposed the American entry into both World War I and World War II. Some of the terminology in his private diary entries has been described by some researchers as racist and anti-Semitic, although this characterization has been disputed. Larry S. Gibson argued that Mencken's views on race changed significantly between his early and later writings, and that it was more accurate to describe Mencken as elitist than racist. He seemed to show a genuine enthusiasm for militarism but 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. His 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.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

George Bernard Shaw: His Plays【電子書籍】[ Henry Louis Mencken ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Arms and the Man,” on its face, is a military satire, not unrelated to “A Milk White Flag,” and Shaw himself hints that he tried to keep it within the sphere of popular comprehension, but under the burlesque and surface wit there lies an idea that the author later elaborated in “Man and Superman.” This idea concerns the relationship of the sexes and particularly the matter of mating. Ninety-nine men in every hundred, when they go a-courting, fancy that they are the aggressors in the ancient game and rather pride themselves upon their enterprise and their daring. Hence we find Don Juan a popular hero. As a matter of fact, says Shaw, it is the woman that ordinarily makes the first advances and the woman that lures, forces, or drags the man on to the climax of marriage. You will find this theory set forth in detail in the preface of “Man and Superman” and elaborated in the play itself. In “Arms and the Man” it is overshadowed by the satire, but even a casual study of the drama will reveal its outlines. The scene of “Arms and the Man” is a small town in Bulgaria and the time is the winter of the Balkan War, 18856. Captain Bluntschli, the hero, is a Swiss soldier of fortune, who takes service with the Servians because war is his trade and Servia happens to be nearer his home than Bulgaria. A machine gun detachment under his command is overwhelmed by a sudden and unscientific charge of blundering Bulgarian horsemen, and he swiftly takes to the woods, being little desirous of shedding his blood unnecessarily. He and his comrades are pursued by Bulgarians bent upon finishing them, and, passing through a small town at night at a gallop, he shins up a rainspout and takes refuge in the bed-chamber of a young woman, Raina Petkoff, the daughter of a Bulgarian officer. The ensuing scene between the two is a masterpiece of comedy and Richard Mansfield’s performances of the play have made it familiar to most American theater-goers. Bluntschli, as Shaw depicts him, is a soldier entirely devoid of the heroics associated in the popular imagination with men of war. He has no yearning to die for his country or any other country, and, after bullying his unwilling hostess with an unloaded revolver, he frankly confesses that he is hungry and sleepy, and that, as a general proposition, he prefers a good dinner to a forlorn hope. She is a young woman suffering from much romanticism and undigested French fiction, and very naturally she is tremendously astonished. Her heavy-eyed intruder, as a matter of fact, fairly appals her. His common-sense seems idiocy and his callous realism sacrilege. But, nevertheless, the theatricality of his appearance makes an overwhelming appeal to her and she shelters him and conceals him from his enemiesーher countrymenーand when he goes away, she sends after him a portrait of herself, just as any other romantic young woman might do. To her the incident is epochal, but Bluntschli himself gives little thought to it. As he says afterwards, a soldier soon forgets such things: “He is always getting his life saved in all sorts of ways by all sorts of people.” So he fights a bit, forages a bit, perspires a bit, draws his pay, eats his meals, and waits, in patience, for the war to end.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Damning Words The Life and Religious Times of H. L. Mencken【電子書籍】[ D. G. Hart ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>Recounts a famously outspoken agnostic's surprising relationship with Christianity</em><br /> H. L. Mencken (1880?1956) was a reporter, literary critic, editor, authorーand a famous American agnostic. From his role in the Scopes Trial to his advocacy of science and reason in public life, Mencken is generally regarded as one of the fiercest critics of Christianity in his day.<br /> In this biography D. G. Hart presents a provocative, iconoclastic perspective on Mencken's life. Even as Mencken vividly debunked American religious ideals, says Hart, it was Christianity that largely framed his ideas, career, and fame. Mencken's relationship to the Christian faith was at once antagonistic and symbiotic.<br /> Using plenty of Mencken's own words, <em>Damning Words</em> superbly portrays an influential figure in twentieth-century America and, at the same time, casts telling new light on his era.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Notes on Democracy. Illustrated【電子書籍】[ H.L. Mencken ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Notes on Democracy is a critique of democracy. The book places political leaders into two categories: the demagogue, who "preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots" and the demaslave, "who listens to what these idiots have to say and then pretends that he believes it himself." Mencken depicts politicians as "men who have sold their honor for their jobs."<br /> Henry Louis "H.L." Mencken became one of the most influential and prolific journalists in America in the 1920s and '30s, writing about all the shams and con artists in the world. He attacked chiropractors and the Ku Klux Klan, politicians and other journalists. Most of all, he attacked Puritan morality. He called Puritanism, "the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>The American Credo is a satirical criticism of the American culture, co-authored with George Jean Nathan. Menken describes the weaknesses in the American system of views and beliefs, criticizing the government, literature and philosophy ideas, religion. Although the book was published about one hundred years ago, it remains incredibly topical today since society didn't get rid of its flaws. Excerpt: "Moreover, this gradual (and, of late, rapidly progressive) decay of freedom goes almost without challenge; the American has grown so accustomed to the denial of his constitutional rights and to the minute regulation of his conduct by swarms of spies, letter-openers, informers and agents provocateurs that he no longer makes any serious protest."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Philosophy of Nietzsche【電子書籍】[ H. L. Mencken ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In H. L. Mencken's book 'The Philosophy of Nietzsche', readers are given a comprehensive analysis of the influential philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas on topics such as existentialism, morality, and the concept of the Ubermensch. Mencken delves into Nietzsche's critiques of traditional Christian values and his advocacy for the individual's pursuit of personal excellence. The book is written in a scholarly yet accessible style, making it a valuable resource for both students of philosophy and general readers interested in Nietzsche's thought within the context of early 20th century philosophy. H. L. Mencken, a renowned journalist and cultural critic of his time, was known for his sharp wit and independent thinking. His interest in Nietzsche's philosophy likely stemmed from his own skepticism towards conventional wisdom and authority. Mencken brings his unique perspective to the examination of Nietzsche's work, shedding new light on the philosopher's controversial ideas. I highly recommend 'The Philosophy of Nietzsche' to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Nietzsche's philosophy and its relevance in today's world. Mencken's insightful analysis and engaging writing style make this book a must-read for anyone interested in existentialism and the pursuit of personal freedom.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

An Infuriating American The Incendiary Arts of H. L. Mencken【電子書籍】[ Hal Crowther ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>As American journalism shape-shifts into multimedia pandemonium and seems to diminish rapidly in influence and integrity, the controversial career of H. L. Mencken, the most powerful individual journalist of the twentieth century, is a critical text for anyone concerned with the balance of power between the free press, the government, and the corporate plutocracy. Mencken, the belligerent newspaperman from Baltimore, was not only the most outspoken pundit of his day but also, by far, the most widely read, and according to many critics the most gifted American writer ever nurtured in a newsroomーa vanished world of typewriter banks and copy desks that electronic advances have precipitously erased.</p> <p>Nearly 60 years after his death, Mencken’s memory and monumental verbal legacy rest largely in the hands of literary scholars and historians, to whom he will always be a curious figure, unchecked and alien and not a little distasteful. No faculty would have voted him tenure. Hal Crowther, who followed in many of Mencken’s footsteps as a reporter, magazine editor, literary critic, and political columnist, focuses on Mencken the creator, the observer who turned his impressions and prejudices into an inimitable group portrait of America, painted in prose that charms and glowers and endures. Crowther, himself a working polemicist who was awarded the <em>Baltimore Sun</em>’s Mencken prize for truculent commentary, examines the origin of Mencken’s thunderboltsーwhere and how they were manufactured, rather than where and on whom they landed.</p> <p>Mencken was such an outrageous original that contemporary writers have made him a political shuttlecock, defaming or defending him according to modern conventions he never encountered. Crowther argues that loving or hating him, admiring or despising him are scarcely relevant. Mencken can inspire and he can appall. The point is that he mattered, at one time enormously, and had a lasting effect on the national conversation. No writer can afford to ignore his craftsmanship or success, or fail to be fascinated by his strange mind and the world that produced it. This book is a tributeーthough by no means a loving oneーto a giant from one of his bastard sons.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Book of Burlesques【電子書籍】[ Henry Louis Mencken ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The back parlor of any average American home. The blinds are drawn and a single gas-jet burns feebly. A dim suggestion of festivity: strange chairs, the table pushed back, a decanter and glasses. A heavy, suffocating, discordant scent of flowersーroses, carnations, lilies, gardenias. A general stuffiness and mugginess, as if it were raining outside, which it isn’t. A door leads into the front parlor. It is open, and through it the flowers may be seen. They are banked about a long black box with huge nickel handles, resting upon two folding horses. Now and then a man comes into the front room from the street door, his shoes squeaking hideously. Sometimes there is a woman, usually in deep mourning. Each visitor approaches the long black box, looks into it with ill-concealed repugnance, snuffles softly, and then backs of toward the door. A clock on the mantel-piece ticks loudly. From the street come the usual noisesーa wagon rattling, the clang of a trolley car’s gong, the shrill cry of a child. In the back parlor six pallbearers sit upon chairs, all of them bolt upright, with their hands on their knees. They are in their Sunday clothes, with stiff white shirts. Their hats are on the floor beside their chairs. Each wears upon his lapel the gilt badge of a fraternal order, with a cr?pe rosette. In the gloom they are indistinguishable; all of them talk in the same strained, throaty whisper. Between their remarks they pause, clear their throats, blow their noses, and shuffle in their chairs. They are intensely uncomfortable.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Democracy came into the Western World to the tune of sweet, soft music. There was, at the start, no harsh bawling from below there was only a dulcet twittering from above. Democratic man thus began as an ideal being, full of ineffable virtues and romantic wrongs in brief, as Rousseau’s noble savage in smock and jerkin, brought out of the tropical wilds to shame the lords and masters of the civilized lands. The fact continues to have important consequences to this day. It remains impossible, as it was in the eighteenth century, to separate the democratic idea from the theory that there is a mystical merit, an esoteric and ineradicable rectitude, in the man at the bottom of the scale - that inferiority, by some strange magic, becomes a sort of superiority - nay, the superiority of superiorities.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Notes on Democracy【電子書籍】[ H.L. Mencken ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>First published in 1926, ‘Notes on Democracy’ is a bold and unflinching critique of democratic systems by H.L. Mencken. In this provocative work, Mencken examines the ideals and realities of democracy with his signature wit, sharp intellect, and unapologetic skepticism.Rather than celebrating the virtues of democratic governance, Mencken questions its core assumptionsーparticularly the belief in the wisdom and competence of the masses. He distinguishes between idealists who genuinely believe in the people's judgment and realists who use democratic principles for influence and control. To Mencken, democracy often results in mediocrity, driven more by emotion and conformity than reason or excellence.Through incisive observations and biting humor, Mencken exposes what he sees as the contradictions, absurdities, and limitations of democratic rule. He does not offer solutions or alternatives, but instead forces readers to confront the uncomfortable truths behind popular government.‘Notes on Democracy’ remains a compelling and controversial work of political philosophy. It challenges conventional thinking, encourages critical reflection, and continues to spark debate nearly a century after its publication. Mencken's fearless prose and piercing insight make this book essential reading for anyone interested in the strengths and shortcomings of democratic society.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Saturnalia of Bunk Selections from The Free Lance, 1911?1915【電子書籍】[ H. L. Mencken ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>H. L. Mencken’s reputation as a journalist and cultural critic of the twentieth century has endured well into the twenty-first. His early contributions as a writer, however, are not very well known. He began his journalistic career as early as 1899 and in 1910 cofounded the <em>Baltimore Evening Sun.</em> The next year he initiated a columnーThe Free Lanceーthat ran six days a week for four and a half years, until the <em>Sun</em> discontinued it, partially in response to Mencken’s controversial defense of Germany during World War One.</p> <p>In this early forum for his renowned wit, Mencken broached many of the issues to which he would return again and again over his career, establishing himself as a fearless iconoclast willing to tackle the most divisive subjects and apply a heady mix of observation, satire, and repartee to clear away what he regarded as the “saturnalia of bunk” that clouded American thinking. The Free Lance reveals Mencken at his scintillating best as a journalist, polemicist, and satirist.</p> <p>These columns are collected here for the first time, edited and annotated by Mencken expert and critic S. T. Joshi. This extraordinary collection is an invaluable resource for Mencken scholars and fans and provides an entertaining immersion into the early twentieth-century American zeitgeist.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Notes on Democracy【電子書籍】[ H. L. Mencken ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The renowned satirist and author of <em>The American Language</em> presents a scathing critique of democracy, demagogues, and politicians of all kinds.</strong></p> <p>H. L. Mencken was one of the greatest contrarian minds of the twentieth century. As a columnist for the <em>Baltimore Sun</em>, he was an outspoken skeptic of America’s most cherished institutionsーnamely, organized religion and representative democracy.</p> <p>In <em>Notes on Democracy</em>, Mencken presents an incisive critique of how democratic ideals are doomed to fall short in practice. From disproportional representation to rampant political corruption, Mencken’s assessmentsーfirst published in 1926ーare surprisingly applicable today.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Humor of Mencken【電子書籍】[ H. L. Mencken ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p> This volume contains five works by Henry Louis Mencken: “Pistols for Two,” “Heliogabalus,” “The Artist: A Drama Without Words,” “A Book of Burlesques,” and “Suggestions to Our Visitors.” George Jean Nathan, who edited the important literary magazine The Smart Set with Mencken for many years, co-authored the first and last of these five books.</p> <p> “Pistols for Two” can best be described as a duel of words between two highly opinionated and cantankerous friends of long collaboration. Take it with a grain of salt.</p> <p> “Heliogabalus,” more properly entitled “Heliogabalus: A Buffoonery in Three Acts,” is a play set in ancient Rome and has an interesting perspective on the relationship between religion and marriage, slyly presented within an interesting comedy. Read the author notes to discover why the play was intended to be read, but never to be performed. Clearly, there was a talented playwright hidden inside a curmudgeonly author and essayist!</p> <p> “The Artist: A Drama Without Words” is another work written in the form of a play. As the title suggests, there are no words. The work contains multiple internal dialogs at a classical music concert. You’ll never view such a concert in the same way again after reading this.</p> <p> “A Book of Burlesques” provides insight into Mencken’s wry humor and his view of the world.</p> <p> “Suggestions to Our Visitors” is a short spoof of what might have been called “customer service” in the early twentieth century.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Mencken on Mencken A New Collection of Autobiographical Writings【電子書籍】[ H. L. Mencken ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>"Mencken weighs 172 pounds, is 5 feet 10 inches in height and not beautiful. His chief amusement, after reading, is piano-playing, this he does very crudely. He takes no exercise except walking and is a moderate eater and drinker. He sometimes drinks as little as one bottle of beer a week, though this doesn't happen very often." So wrote H. L. Mencken about himself, in a brief sketch of his life penned in 1905.<br /> Perhaps America's foremost literary stylist and most mordant wit, Mencken's most engaging writing told about his own life and experiences. In Mencken on Mencken, veteran Mencken editor and scholar S. T. Joshi has assembled a hefty collection of the best of Mencken's autobiographical pieces that have not appeared previously in book form. These forty-four selections cover a wide variety of topics ranging from incidents from Mencken's everyday life to reflections on friends and colleagues to his careers as author, journalist, and editor, to his travels abroad.<br /> As a journalist in Baltimore, Mencken encountered many unusual characters: a professional mourner hired by a beer distiller, a wagon driver who slept through the great Baltimore fire of 1904, a confirmed bachelor who left town to avoid the clutches of a predatory widow. He provides accounts of literary figures he knew, such as Theodore Dreiser, and ruminations on his work at the Baltimore Sun and as editor for the magazines Smart Set and the American Mercury.<br /> In an essay titled "What I Believe," he eschews humor and writes straightforwardly of his longtime scorn for the idea of religion, and in his journalist mode he reflects on a half-century of attending political conventions, drawing on his vast inside knowledge to savage the corruption and incompetence of the political class. A superb travel writer, Mencken gives us a rollicking account of beer-drinking in Munich, astute observations of political unrest in Cuba, and carefully drawn scenes from a long tour he and his wife made of the Mediterranean in 1934.<br /> Joshi has thoroughly annotated the pieces and also compiled an extensive glossary of names and terms that Mencken mentions. Mencken on Mencken offers a fully rounded self-portrait of one of America's most colorful personalities and most extraordinary men of letters.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
