    Este fue el primer libro publicado en inglés sobre el filósofo alemán, y el segundo libro de H.L. Mencken.

  • De la felicidad y otros escritos
    Henry Louis Mencken

De su amor por el periodismo (que tildó de «vida de reyes») robó el don de la oportunidad y la prohibición absoluta de aburrir al lector. Uno se siente en presencia de alguien elegante hasta en el modo en que se p...

El estilo crítico, mordaz, iconoclasta y completamente volteriano de sus trabajos fue signo característico de quien era considerado el p...
