Produktbeschreibung

The Confessions of Artemas Quibble tells the tale of the early 20th-century law and order, as recounted by a shady and successful New York criminal lawyer. The story begins with Quibble's reminiscences of his early life and how he decided to practice law, and later moves on to a series of anecdotes about his cases and descriptions of numerous tricks, sophistries and sundry artifices used by infamous shyster lawyers. Arthur Cheney Train (1875-1945) was an American lawyer and writer of legal thrillers, particularly known for his novels of courtroom intrigue and the creation of the fictional lawyer Mr. Ephraim Tutt, a wily old lawyer who supported the common man and always had a trick up his sleeve to right the law's injustices. Train wrote a number of novels and short stories inspired by his parallel career as a lawyer in private practice and a New York County District Attorney.

Autorenporträt

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.
