About the book
This is the novel written by a Harvard law school student that set off one of the most stirring success stories of our time. As as book it was tremendously acclaimed. As a movie, it became a legend. As a Twentieth Century Fox TV series, it brought a new standard of excellence as wellas a new high in entertainment to the home screen. Now you can meet Professor Kingsfield in all his icy eminence and his students in all their swiftly vanishing innocence as they play out a drama of education in far more than the law, a drama that will enthrall you from first page to last.
