Through the Looking Glass
BY LEWIS CARROLL,
Fingerprint!, ₹109
This children's book is the most quoted by judges and jurists, especially Humpty Dumpty's famous statement: "... it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less." It is even called 'Humpty Dumpty Jurisprudence'. This book is a delightful reading in so many ways, but for me it is the unfailing antidote when I am feeling depressed with the way the criminaljustice system works; or does not.
The Trial BY FRANZ KAFKA,
Penguin Modern Classics, ₹272
This novel tells the story of a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor to the reader. Published in 1925, Kafka wrote this novel from 1914 to 1915. The story continues to resonate in an age of UAPA-like laws.
