To Kill a Mockingbird
Voted America's Best-Loved Novel in PBS's The Great American Read
"One of the mostâif not the mostâbeloved of American novels." âThe New Yorker
Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep Southâand the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred
One of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than fifty million copies worldwide, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, Scout Finch, as her father, Atticusâa crusading local lawyerârisks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man's struggle for justiceâbut the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
