Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American Read.

En una ciudad del sur de los Estados Unidos, en la época de la Gran Depresión, una mujer blanca acusa de violación a un hombre negro.

Aunque la inocencia del hombre resulta evidente, el resultado del juicio es tan previsible que ningún abogado haría nada para evitarla... excepto Atticus Finch, el ciudadano más respetable de la ciudad. Su compasiva defensa le cuesta muchas amistades, pero le otorga el respeto y la admiración de sus dos hijos, huérfanos de madre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South--and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred

"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 charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, 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 justice--but the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

One of the best-loved classics of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many dis-tinctions since its original publication in 1960.

It has won the Pulitzer Prize, been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, and been made into an enormously popular movie. It was also named the best novel of the twentieth century by librarians across the country (Library Journal).

About the Author:
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.
