Autor

Arthur Cheney Train, born on September 6, 1875, in Boston, Massachusetts, was a prominent American lawyer and writer, known for his legal thrillers and mystery stories. Train graduated from Harvard University in 1897 and later from its law school in 1899. He embarked on a career in law, working initially as an assistant district attorney in New York City, which became the backdrop for many of his compelling legal narratives. Train's literary fame is anchored by his creation of the character Mr. Ephraim Tutt, an astute and whimsically cunning lawyer who became the protagonist in many of his works. However, it is 'The Confessions of Artemas Quibble' (1911) that remains a cornerstone of his literary legacy, where he explores the conscience of a shrewd attorney navigating the ethical mazes of the legal world. Train's writing is characterized by incisive wit, a profound understanding of the legal system, and a knack for crafting compelling courtroom dramas that often reflect on the paradoxes of justice and the human condition. His work not only entertains but also provides insightful commentary on the American judicial system of his era. Arthur Train passed away on December 22, 1945, leaving behind a rich collection of stories that continue to resonate with readers and offer a window into the complexities of early 20th-century American law and society.
