Author: David I Kertzer
Description:
A quintessential David versus Goliath saga, Amalia’s Tale tells of a wholly unexpected triumph of the poor against the rich and of a crusading city attorney who fought on behalf of an impoverished peasant. An unforgettable story and a landmark in the struggle for basic human rights -- A Civil Action in nineteenth-century Italy -- Amalia’s Tale is the story of a rural woman whose life was ruined and the man from the city who would not stop -- or so it seemed -- until he had seen justice done.
