This paper discusses Anthony Lewis's Gideon's Trumpet. This is a literary work that seeks to gain appreciation from readers, as is the primary aim of all literature. But intentionally, it wants to inform and offers a lot of detailed information for its comprehension by readers without legal background. And it inspires as well as motivates the reader to continue trusting in the existence and operation of justice in society, regardless of the reader's personal conditions. In between the lines, the book tells us that we are not to "judge appearances" but to implicitly trust in the good that (still) operates among men who interpret the law but whose minds we cannot accede.
