Mencken Edition \u003chr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA major literary event: Mencken’s dazzling autobiography, with 200 pages of his own never-before-published commentary and photos.\u003c\/b\u003e In 1936, at the age of fifty-five, H. L. Mencken published a reminiscence about his boyhood in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, beginning a long and magnificent adventure in autobiography by America’s greatest journalist. Mencken went on to gather his childhood recollections in \u003ci\u003eHappy Days\u003c\/i\u003e (1940), a richly detailed, poignant account of growing up in Baltimore. A critical and popular success, the book surprised many with its glimpses of a less curmudgeonly Mencken, and there soon followed the absorbing sequels \u003ci\u003eNewspaper Days\u003c\/i\u003e (1941), charting his rise at the Baltimore Herald from cub reporter to editor, and \u003ci\u003eHeathen Days\u003c\/i\u003e (1943), recounting his varied excursions as journalist and public figure, including his coverage of the Scopes trial in 1925. But unknown to the legions of \u003ci\u003eDays\u003c\/i\u003e books’ admirers, Mencken continued to add to them after publication, annotating and expanding each volume in typescripts sealed to the public for twenty-five years after his death. Until now, most of this material—often more frank and unvarnished than the original \u003ci\u003eDays \u003c\/i\u003ebooks—has never been published. Containing nearly 200 pages of previously unseen writing, and illustrated with photographs from Mencken’s archives, many taken by Mencken himself, this expanded and definitive edition of the \u003ci\u003eDays \u003c\/i\u003etrilogy is a cause for celebration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLIBRARY OF AMERICA\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.","brand":"Library of America","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":46395585921251,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781598533088","price":230.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781598533088.jpg?v=1748303622","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/9781598533088","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
