Описание книги "Prisoners of Conscience" by Amelia Barr
Amelia Barr's Prisoners of Conscience explores the lives of several individuals who were sentenced to jail for committing acts that were certainly not criminal according to the courts, illegal in their own right but justified by the laws and ethics considered acceptable during the time and places they came from.
How can we deal ethically with cruel inequalities? Justly with impersonal government? Law justly enforced? How can we condemn lies and deception into justice? Notions of evidence and hearsay have a never-ending debate within society, not necessarily guaranteeing them with conviction or proof.
Barr's writing style is powerful, her story-telling vivid, leaving the reader absorbed, deeply disturbed by the plight of these unjustly placed folks and vigilant at all times in the pursuit of justice.
Prisoners of conscience, whether innocent or guilty, inevitably leaves an indelible mark on the soul. Reading Barr's story, we are all Prisoners of Conviction through our every thought, action, or inaction. Every Prisoner worthy of standing up and taking a stance is a Prisoner of Compassion, which, for Barr, happens to be indispensable to justice itself.
