Clarence Darrow SIGNED 1st NIETZSCHE Unique!
Clarence Darrow was one of America's most famous lawyers in the 20th century, best known for defending teenaged thrill killers Leopold and Loeb in their trial for murdering 14-year-old Bobby Franks (1924) and defending John T. Scopes in the so-called "Monkey" Trial (1925). This book is incredible in that Darrow personally hand SIGNED and inscribed this book about famed philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche to a friend the SAME year he used a Nietzsche defense in the Leopold and Loeb trial! During the trial, Darrow gave perhaps the finest speech of his career which helped the two receive life in prison rather than the death penalty. Darrow studied Nietzsche extensively and may have read and studied this book numerous times. A wonderful treasure!
