The legal thriller of the decade. --Cleveland Plain Dealer
Now a Major Motion Picture!
In this true story of an epic courtroom showdown, two of the nation's largest corporations stand accused of causing the deaths of children. Representing the bereaved parents, the unlikeliest of heroes emerges: a young, flamboyant Porsche-driving lawyer who hopes to win millions of dollars and ends up nearly losing everything, including his sanity. A searing, compelling tale of a legal system gone awry--one in which greed and power fight an unending struggle against justice-- A Civil Action is also the story of how one determined man can ultimately make a difference. With an unstoppable narrative power, it is an unforgettable reading experience.
Jonathan Harr lives and works in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he has taught nonfiction writing at Smith College. He is a former staff writer at New England Monthly and has written for The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine.
Harr spent nine years researching and writing A Civil Action, which was published in 1995, subsequently nominated for a National Book Award, and awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award.
fascinating, obssed by it the whole weekend, can't put it down..
评分What's the price to pay for believing in and holding onto the truth that might not ever be uncovered? I see part of me in Schlichtmann and the empathy gets me stressed out as the case develops and turns. Is to be a trial lawyer only a remote dream for me?
评分耗时三周,终于读完了这本书了,感情很复杂。我在思考正义到底是什么,是应该相信直觉还是应该相信“理智”,而善意背后到底是自私还是无私。法律本身不是一个美好或者丑恶的东西,但透过它我能看到世界不同的样子。所以,带着这些问题继续努力寻找答案吧。
评分寥寥几笔就能立起人物形象,抽丝剥茧把一个复杂而很有可能无聊的故事慢慢展开,还讲得极为生动有趣。整本书高潮迭起,让人手不释卷,实在非常精彩。

下半年入P大国际法学院,这本是导师推荐的入学前需要读完的第一本书,算是对美国法律体系是怎么运作的初步印象吧,导师强调的还是解决问题的思维而不是法律条文。另外的一本的是To Kill A Mockingbird.
评分在看虚构写作里面提到了这部,这个奇怪的译名让我好找。 看到三分之一 关于法律知识和实物有点了解,比如律师是如何开展工作的,如何攻击对手的,的确是个吸血,变相敲诈的行当哈哈哈哈,不过也算利益再分配的一种方式吧,特别是伤人赔偿这一环,可能特别有行侠仗义感 写作方面...

评分Finished it in a hurry, never thought an epic story of this would end in such a strikingly cruel way. I almost found myself losing faith in the whole system in the face of so many lies and so called "injustice". One line impressed me most reads "(for bei...
