Noted trial attorney, historian, lecturer, scholar and author, Michael Reppas, embarked on journey to right a 200 year-old wrong. His latest novel, "Why Don't We Just Sue The British Museum? A Litigator's Perspective On The Elgin-Parthenon Marbles Debate" was written to answer one question: would you like to be the judge in the trial deciding who owns the Parthenon? Sit on the jury and listen to the opening statement. Consider for yourself each piece of evidence submitted to you. Allow yourself to be transported back in time to experience the direct examination of Lord Elgin in 1816 before the British Parliament when he defended his actions and claimed ownership of the Parthenon Sculptures. And hear, for the first time, how a trial attorney would cross-examine Lord Elgin and present the case of the looting of the Parthenon. At the close of the trial, you decide who owns the Parthenon Sculptures. Reppas' first novel is a thrilling read, combining history, philosophy, ethics and the law into a fictional trial where the reader is compelled to participate. It is a unique piece of literature that both teaches and inspires the reader to stand up for what they believe. We are sure you will enjoy the adventure.
