About this book

In a tumultuous era marked by social upheaval and shifting moral landscapes, "An Eye for an Eye" by Clarence Darrow delves into the complexities of justice and retribution. The narrative unfolds through Hank Clery, a switchman in Chicago, who grapples with the implications of capital punishment as he visits his friend Jim Jackson, condemned for the murder of his wife. This poignant exploration raises critical questions about the nature of justice and the societal constructs surrounding it, including the moral dilemmas of “an eye for an eye” and the human capacity for empathy. Ideal for students and civic activists, this thought-provoking novel invites readers to confront the ethical challenges of their own beliefs and the justice system.
