Inherit the Wind

Meer over het boek

One of the most moving and meaningful plays in American theaterThe accused was a slight, frightened man who had  deliberately broken the law. His trial was a Roman circus. The chief gladiators were two great legal  giants of the century. Like two bull elephants  locked in mortal combat, they bellowed and roared  imprecations and abuse. The spectators sat uneasily  in the sweltering heat with murder in their hearts, barely able to restrain themselves. At stake was  the freedom of every American.
