Farmington

By Clarence Darrow

Book Overview

Farmington (1904) is a novel written by Clarence S. Darrow, a prominent American lawyer and civil libertarian. The book is set in a small town in Illinois and tells the story of a young lawyer named Paul Armitage, who moves to Farmington to start his own law practice. As he settles into the town, Paul becomes embroiled in a series of legal battles and personal dramas involving the town's residents, including a wealthy businessman, a corrupt politician, and a young woman who becomes the object of his affections. Along the way, Paul grapples with issues of morality, justice, and the complexities of small-town life. The novel offers a vivid portrait of turn-of-the-century America and provides insights into Darrow's own views on law, politics, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
