Law is saddled with a bad reputation, generally deserved, of being an esoteric and incomprehensible art reserved for the initiated. Hence, the feeling of helplessness, frustration, and even anguish, felt by the ordinary citizen who suffers its effects on a daily basis, from the cradle to the grave. Law, nevertheless, is something intrinsic to human beings who, thanks to it, have managed to dominate the Earth, as without it we would be constantly at each other's throats. Thanks to Law, we have managed to coexist in increasingly numerous, better organized and more powerful groups. Without forgoing the rigor and order that constitute the essence of the legal realm, this book introduces readers, in an accessible and exciting way, to the past, present and future of Law by discussing not only legal works, per se, but also related literary, artistic and audiovisual ones that serve to demystify it, and discover, as awkward as it may sound, that Law can be fun.
