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.

评分漫长的诉讼
评分算个杯具故事,但是写得有点像Capote的风格,挺喜欢
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。

书看完的一些感受: 1、在法律保障基本人权方面,我们与美国还差50年的距离。1970年代的美国民事诉讼,原被告的证人都可以在人身安全得到保障的前提下、没有负担地参与诉讼,在法院工作人员的见证下,接受双方询问,以期尽可能接近事实真相,不会被对方威胁、不用担心被报复。...
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...
评分是本好书,非常推荐。 这本书的开始不太好读,节奏也不快,慢慢地交待背景,介绍人物。但是一旦熬过了开头,故事越到后面越精彩,越发展越快,仿佛一部不断加速奔跑的马车。。。到最后,书在手中完全放不下来,只能挑灯夜战,一口气把它看完。 合上书后,在我脑海里徘徊的不...
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...
