About this ebook
'ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN NOVELS EVER WRITTEN'
'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'
A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man falsely charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to 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 of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.
Harper Lee
Harper Lee nació en Monroeville (Alabama, EE UU), en 1926. En 1931, un conflicto racista acontecido en la localidad vecina de Scottsboro conmocionó a la sociedad estadounidense. Lee, testigo indirecto de los hechos, se inspiró en este suceso para escribir su primera y única novela conocida hasta 2015, Matar a un ruiseñor, convertida hoy en un clásico de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX. Amiga personal de Truman Capote, Lee decidió retirarse del mundanal ruido cuando alcanzó la fama. En 2007 recibió la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad de Estados Unidos por su carrera literaria. Premio Pulitzer en 1961, un año después el director Robert Mulligan la llevó a la pantalla en una inolvidable película que obtuvo dos Oscar de la Academia: al mejor guion (Horton Foote) y al mejor intérprete masculino (Gregory Peck). En 2015 se ha reencontrado la novela Go Set a Watchman (Ve y pon un centinela), rechazada por sus editores en su momento y una de cuyas tramas secundarias es la que dio origen a Matar a un ruiseñor.
