The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.
Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.

Until, as some of you know, I was at a library book sale last year and made an impulsive grab of a copy for $1, w...
For such an acclaimed classic novel, I've come to it late. I know the the reputation of the masterpiece by Harper Lee and the centrality of the character, Atticus Finch. What I hadn't realised was that it's written from the perspective of his young daughter, Jean Louise, aka 'Scout' and I think this...
Piękna pod każdym względem. Wzruszająca, dająca do myślenia oraz zastanowienia się nad życiem, a momentami wręcz zabawna i niewinna. Trudny temat opisany oczami dziecka oddaje ogromną autentyczność tej powieści. Bohaterowie ani na moment nie są papierowi czy płytcy - przywiązać się można od pierws...
