Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an exploration of themes surrounding the French judicial system and the impact of litigious practices on society in 17th-century France. The author employs literary devices such as humor, satire, and farce to highlight the absurdity of excessive and frivolous lawsuits, reflecting the broader social and cultural attitudes towards the legal profession during that era. Through the antics of its central character, a judge named Dandin, this work not only provides a glimpse into the intricacies of the French legal system but also humorously critiques the societal obsession with litigation. Ultimately, the book presents the idea that personal interests and legal technicalities often take precedence over justice, but does so in an entertaining and thought-provoking way. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334061714_0
