Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird
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.
