"In his book "Prejudice, the fourth series", Henry Louis Mencken, a famous American journalist and publicist, examines the current socio-cultural issues of his time through the prism of sharp humor and frank criticism. The author analyzes various aspects of social prejudices, political corruption, religious dogmas and other phenomena, based on his own sarcastic view and many years of observational experience. The fourth series of his "Prejudices" is not only a sarcastic and bold statement of his own thoughts, but also an invitation to delve deeper into the problems of modern society and openly look at known phenomena from unexpected angles."
