Voted America's Best-Loved Novel in PBS's The Great American Read
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
One of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father—a crusading local lawyer—risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
#1 New York Times Bestseller
“Go Set a Watchman is such an important book, perhaps the most important novel on race to come out of the white South in decades." — New York Times
A landmark novel by Harper Lee, set two decades after her beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird.
Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch—“Scout”—returns home to Maycomb, Alabama from New York City to visit her aging father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise’s homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town, and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back, and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt. Featuring many of the iconic characters from To Kill a Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a world, in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past—a journey that can only be guided by one’s own conscience.
Written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman imparts a fuller, richer understanding and appreciation of the late Harper Lee. Here is an unforgettable novel of wisdom, humanity, passion, humor, and effortless precision—a profoundly affecting work of art that is both wonderfully evocative of another era and relevant to our own times. It not only confirms the enduring brilliance of To Kill a Mockingbird, but also serves as its essential companion, adding depth, context, and new meaning to an American classic.
“This gorgeously rendered graphic-novel version provides a new perspective for old fans but also acts as an immersive introduction for youngsters as well as any adult who somehow missed out on the iconic story set in Maycomb, Alabama.”--USA Today

""Dispara a todos los grajos que quieras, si puedes pegarles, pero recuerda que es pecado matar a un ruiseñor"".
Un inquietante retrato de raza y clase, inocencia e injusticia, hipocresía y heroísmo, tradición y transformación en el profundo sur de la década de 1930, Matar a un ruiseñor de Harper Lee sigue siendo tan importante hoy en día como lo fue su publicación inicial en 1960, durante los turbulentos años del movimiento de los Derechos Civiles.
Ahora, esta novela más querida y aclamada renace para una nueva era como una hermosa novela gráfica. Scout, Gem, Boo Radley, Atticus Finch y la pequeña ciudad de Maycomb, Alabama, son todos capturados en ilustraciones vívidas y conmovedoras del artista Fred Fordham.
Duradera en su visión, la novela atemporal de Harper Lee ilumina las complejidades de la naturaleza humana y las profundidades del corazón humano con humor, honestidad inquebrantable y una belleza tierna y nostálgica. Tanto los admiradores de toda la vida como los nuevos lectores se sentirán conmovidos por esta edición visual especial que une las filas de las adaptaciones de la novela gráfica Una arruga en el tiempo y El alquimista.
In un sonnolento paese del profondo Sud degli Stati Uniti l’avvocato Atticus Finch è incaricato della difesa d’ufficio di un afroamericano accusato di aver stuprato una ragazza bianca. Riuscirà a dimostrarne l’innocenza, ma il diffuso, duro pregiudizio razzista della cittadina renderà vano il suo impegno. Questo, in poche righe, l’episodio centrale di un romanzo che da quando è stato pubblicato, oltre cinquant’anni fa, non ha più smesso di appassionare non soltanto i lettori degli Stati Uniti, ma quelli di tutti i paesi del mondo.
Quale il segreto della forza di questo libro? La sua voce narrante, che è quella della piccola Scout, la figlia di Atticus, una Huckleberry Finn in salopette che ci racconta la storia di Maycomb in Alabama, della propria famiglia, delle pettegole signore della buona società che vorrebbero farla diventare una di loro, di bianchi e neri per lei tutti uguali, e della battaglia paterna per salvare la vita di un innocente.
Un libro che ha cambiato la percezione della convivenza tra bianchi e neri negli Usa più di tante manifestazioni di protesta e che è tuttora tristemente attuale, tanto da essere adottato nelle scuole di tutto il paese.
Dénonciation audacieuse de l’Amérique de la ségrégation, Ne tirez pas sur l’oiseau moqueur est aussi l’un des plus grands romans jamais écrits sur l’enfance, et le regard de la jeune Scout, plein de tendresse et de drôlerie, a su attraper le cœur de plusieurs générations de lecteurs au fil des années.
Plus qu’un « grand classique » ou un « livre culte », ce roman, couronné par le prix Pulitzer en 1961 et adapté au cinéma avec Gregory Peck, est devenu un véritable mythe – d’autant qu’il sera resté pendant longtemps la seule œuvre de son auteur. Jusqu’à aujourd’hui : en 2015, l’oiseau moqueur se transforme en phénix, et Scout revient sous la plume de Harper Lee qui publie, après plus d’un demi siècle de silence, Va et poste une sentinelle.
Il capolavoro della letteratura americana, vincitore del premio Pulitzer e della Medaglia presidenziale della libertà.
Grâce au talent de Fred Fordham (notamment découvert en France grâce à Nightfall, paru chez Delcourt), ce roman graphique donne une nouvelle vie au chef d’œuvre d’Harper Lee. L’illustrateur a exploré les lieux qui ont compté pour la mythique auteure américaine en se plongeant dans sa vie afin de s’approcher au plus près de son imaginaire. Fred Fordham offre un éclairage inédit du texte avec ce magnifique ouvrage qui renforce encore la modernité de l’œuvre de Lee. Couronné par le prix Pulitzer en 1961, Ne tirez pas sur l’oiseau moqueur est l’un des plus grands classiques de la littérature du xxème siècle.
