Publisher's Synopsis

Justice is a novel written by John Galsworthy and published in 1910. The book is set in London and revolves around the story of a wealthy barrister named James Howland. Howland is happily married to his wife, Emily, and they have two children together. However, their seemingly perfect life is shattered when Emily is raped by a man named Arthur Winslow. Howland is outraged by the crime and takes it upon himself to seek justice for his wife. He uses his influence and connections to ensure that Winslow is brought to trial and punished for his crime. However, as the case progresses, Howland begins to question whether the punishment fits the crime. He begins to see flaws in the legal system and realizes that justice is not always served in the way that it should be. The novel explores themes of justice, morality, and the flaws in the legal system. It raises questions about the purpose of punishment and whether it is effective in preventing crime. The book is a compelling read that will leave readers questioning their own beliefs about justice and the law.THIS 94 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Representative Plays by John Galsworthy, by John Galsworthy.
