Prejudices: The Complete Series《门肯故事集》出版于美国文库，是大文豪亨利·路易斯·门肯（Henry Louis Mencken）的偏见故事集，两卷全，收录了全部六辑典作，布面精装带书匣。

他的作品是改变美国文化的反传统书籍，广受美国人阅读并非因为他的抨击责难，而是他的著作富有活力及艺术风格。他的文风愉快喧闹，且由于他的语言基础如此稳固，以致于他的挖苦嘲讽甚至都令人感到愉快。他直言不讳且一针见血，但他所说的每句话都充满智慧。

Few writers roiled the American cultural scene like Henry Louis Mencken. Pathbreaking journalist, trenchant social observer, and unbridled humorist, Mencken was the most provocative and influential cultural critic of the last century. To read him today is to be plunged into an era whose culture wars were easily as ferocious as our own, in the company of a writer of boundless curiosity and vivacious frankness. In the six volumes of Prejudices published between 1919 and 1927, Mencken attacked what he felt to be American provincialism and hypocrisy, and championed writers and thinkers he saw as harbingers of a new candor and maturity. Laced with savage humor and delighting in verbal play, Mencken's prose remains a one-of-a-kind roller coaster ride over a staggering range of thematic territory: literature and journalism, politics and religion, sex and marriage, food and drink, music and painting, the absurdities of Prohibition and the dismal state of American higher education, and the relative merits of Baltimore and New York. Now, The Library of America restores the full text of Mencken's landmark work to print in a deluxe two- volume boxed set, ensuring that new generations of readers can rediscover his one-of-a-kind genius.

门肯（Mencken），在20年代与森克莱尔·路易斯（Sinclair Lewis）一样以挖苦讽刺的形象崭露头角。他是美国人令人憎恶却也是令人敬佩的学者之一。他在他自己的著作中甚至比他的杂志中更常表示，对他而言没有什么是神圣不可侵犯的。

Henry Louis Mencken(1880-1956), the "Sage of Baltimore," was the most provocative and influential journalist and cultural critic in twentieth-century America.
