Simon Baatz Livres

    Simon Baatz, professeur d'histoire du droit, se plonge dans un scandale sensationnel du début du XXe siècle qui a captivé New York. Son ouvrage se concentre sur l'affaire Evelyn Nesbit et le meurtre de Stanford White, en s'appuyant méticuleusement sur des récits de journaux contemporains plutôt que sur des mémoires ultérieures et moins fiables. Cette approche offre le récit le plus précis des événements, soulignant la nature persistante du comportement prédateur d'hommes puissants, un thème qui résonne avec les problèmes contemporains.

      The 1924 murder of a child in Chicago by affluent college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, driven by a desire for thrill, shocked the nation. Their belief in their intellectual superiority led them to think they could evade capture. Upon their arrest, state's attorney Robert Crowe aimed for the death penalty, but the families enlisted renowned defense attorney Clarence Darrow. This case became one of the most sensational trials in American history, raising profound questions about morality, justice, and the influence of wealth.
