Description
Summary:Anatole France, a French writer of the end of the nineteenth Century, published Crainquebille at the very moment when Dreyfus, an officer wrongly sentenced to deportation, was pardoned by the President of the Republic. The Dreyfus case was an outstanding case, whereas the Crainquebille case was most insignificant. Yet the Crainquebille case enhances the vices of the French judiciary system on the whole. Anatole France, escritor francés de finales del siglo XIX, publicó Crainqubille en el momento en que el Presidente de la Republica indultó a Dreyfus, un oficial sentenciado injustamente a la deportación. El caso Dreyfus fue un caso destacado, mientras que el caso Crainquebille fue prácticamente insignificante. De cualquier forma, el caso Crainquebille destaca los vicios del sistema judicial francés en su totalidad. DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER FROM SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2543590
