To Kill A Mockingbird
2299
A brand new reissue of Harper Lee's bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning classic with a new cover to match the landmark publication, The Land of Sweet Forever ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN NOVELS EVER WRITTEN WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION 'No one forgets this book' Independent 'One of the best first novels I remember ... uniquely unsentimental' Guardian 'There is humour as well as tragedy in this book, besides its faint note of hope for human nature; and it is delightfully written' Sunday Times 'A rare literary phenomenon' Vogue The iconic modern classic and coming-of-age novel exploring racism in the American South. '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 a serious crime. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores 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. 'Someone rare has written this very fine novel, a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humour. A touching book; and so funny, so likeable.' Truman Capote
Someone rare has written this very fine novel, a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humor. A touching book; and so funny, so likeable
There is humour as well as tragedy in this book, besides its faint note of hope for human nature; and it is delightfully written in the now familiar Southern tradition * Sunday Times *
It would be difficult to argue that Harper Lee's classic isn't one of the most - if not the most - beloved of American novels * New Yorker *
The enduring appeal of Mockingbird lies not only int he plot or characters; the book is a mirror, a source of endless and revelatory conversation about who we are and have been as a country -- Washington Post
The names Scout and Atticus - and, perhaps above all, the name Harper - reflect a respect not just for the arc of history, but for the hope that it does indeed bend toward justice -- Atlantic
A first novel of such rare excellence * Chicago Tribune *
Novels like To Kill a Mockingbird enlarge the heart and inspire the mind. They have the power uplift readers and enrich them - no matter where those readers live or how they worship or the color of their skin * Boston Globe *
The rare classic that speaks to all ages about the less triumphant aspects of American history * Time *
A seminal American story, a touchstone of radical tolerance .. The book is a marvel, brilliantly structured, wonderfully told in the voice of Scout Finch, a stand-in for its tomboyish author as a child ... It's a book determined to make young readers feel like grownups ... and grownups feel like children * USA Today *
