The Trial pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

For as long as accuser and accused have faced each other in public, criminal trials have been establishing far more than who did what to whom–and in this fascinating book, Sadakat Kadri surveys four thousand years of courtroom drama.

A brilliantly engaging writer, Kadri journeys from the silence of ancient Egypt’s Hall of the Dead to the clamor of twenty-first-century Hollywood to show how emotion and fear have inspired Western notions of justice–and the extent to which they still riddle its trials today. He explains, for example, how the jury emerged in medieval England from trials by fire and water, in which validations of vengeance were presumed to be divinely supervised, and how delusions identical to those that once sent witches to the stake were revived as accusations of Satanic child abuse during the 1980s.

Lifting the lid on a particularly bizarre niche of legal history, Kadri tells how European lawyers once prosecuted animals, objects, and corpses–and argues that the same instinctive urge to punish is still apparent when a child or mentally ill defendant is accused of sufficiently heinous crimes.

But Kadri’s history is about aspiration as well as ignorance. He shows how principles such as the right to silence and the right to confront witnesses, hallmarks of due process guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, were derived from the Bible by twelfth-century monks. He tells of show trials from Tudor England to Stalin’s Soviet Union, but contends that “no-trials,” in Guantánamo Bay and elsewhere, are just as repugnant to Western traditions of justice and fairness. With governments everywhere eroding legal protections in the name of an indefinite war on terror, Kadri’s analysis could hardly be timelier.

At once encyclopedic and entertaining, comprehensive and colorful, The Trial rewards curiosity and an appreciation of the absurd but tackles as well questions that are profound. Who has the right to judge, and why? What did past civilizations hope to achieve through scapegoats and sacrifices–and to what extent are defendants still made to bear the sins of society at large? Kadri addresses such themes through scores of meticulously researched stories, all told with the verve and wit that won him one of Britain’s most prestigious travel-writing awards–and in doing so, he has created a masterpiece of popular history.

作者想必是在電腦上寫瞭本書,很厚實,不多說優點一大串,有意思的是講到維辛斯基審判布哈林還有講紐倫堡審判後麵的幾章。 但是在一本審判史為什麼會像小說一樣呢,作者在每一章的末尾總是用一句反諷或是引文收束。每章開篇都用的是卡夫卡的名言,或許該書正是由卡夫卡得來的靈...

前段時間有本很實用的書,名字叫《商業就是一場秀》。商人要想把自己的商品推銷齣去,商品本身固然是一方麵,但營銷手段同樣是製勝的關鍵。“熱賣的産品或服務都是演示齣來的”,說到底,如何讓人們關注某個産品,並將關注的熱情轉變為購買的動力,纔是現代商業經營的製勝...

一封聯名信又將復旦投毒案推嚮高潮,一石激起韆層浪。令我意外的是,復旦這樣一個令人嚮往和仰慕的高等學府的學生,毫無技巧的將事件推嚮更負麵的狀況,而大部分公眾的聲音,也似乎沒有太多理性可言。如果平衡兩者來看,如何做到公正審判纔是大傢最終追求的結果,刑事判決書上...
