书籍简介

著名的美国律师克拉伦斯·达罗(Clarence Darrow)以其对民粹主义事业和有争议的思想的勇敢、无情的逻辑辩护而闻名。即使在今天，达罗的言论仍然是公众对公民自由、宗教和公民生活的讨论的框架。普利策奖得主历史学家爱德华·J·拉尔森和伦理学家杰克·马歇尔在这本书中汇集了这位标志性律师的言论和著作——开场白、庭审辩论、演讲——并从他的回忆录中摘录，辅以专家评论。这些选集展示了达罗的激情和理想的迷人力量，这些激情和理想并没有随着时间的流逝而失去它们的影响或直接性。

The celebrated American lawyer Clarence Darrow was renowned for his spirited, ruthlessly logical defense of populist causes and controversial ideas. Even today, Darrow’s words continue to frame public discussion about our civil liberties and our religious and civic life. In this timely volume, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Edward J. Larson and ethicist Jack Marshall assemble a broad and rich collection of the iconic lawyer’s words and writings–opening statements, trial arguments, lectures–accompanied by excerpts from his memoir and annotated with expert commentary. These selections showcase the mesmerizing power of Darrow’s passions and ideals, which have lost none of their impact or immediacy with the passage of time.

作者简介

克拉伦斯·达罗(1857-1938)是美国历史上有影响力的律师之一。他因其在1924年利奥波德/勒布惊悸杀人案和1925年所谓的斯科普斯猴子审判中的里程碑式辩护而闻名，在那场审判中，关于进化论的辩论首次引起了全国的关注。他是弱势群体的朋友，美国公民自由联盟的主要成员，也是不可知论、自由主义和自由思想方面的杰出演讲者。

Edward J. Larson是美国历史罗素教授和乔治亚大学塔尔梅奇法学主席。他著有六本书，包括现代图书馆出版的《进化论:科学理论的非凡历史》、《诸神之夏:斯科普斯审判》和《美国关于科学和宗教的持续辩论》，并因此获得1998年普利策历史奖。

Clarence Darrow (1857-1938) had one of the most influential legal careers in American history. He is renowned for his landmark defenses in the 1924 Leopold/Loeb thrill-killing case and the so-called Scopes monkey trial of 1925, where the debate over evolution first surged to national attention. He was notable as a friend to the underdog, a leading member of the American Civil Liberties Union, and a distinguished speaker on agnosticism, liberalism, and free thought.

Edward J. Larson is Russell Professor of American History and Talmadge Chair of Law at the University of Georgia. He is the author of six books, including Evolution: The Remarkable History of a Scientific Theory, published by Modern Library, and Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America’s Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion, for which he won the 1998 Pulitzer Prize in History.
