Description
To Kill a Mockingbird is an unforgettable novel that recounts a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the moral crisis that shocks the community. Upon its initial publication in 1960, it became an instant bestseller and garnered universal critical acclaim. The book won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later adapted into an Academy Award-winning film, now equally regarded as a classic.
Filled with compassion, drama, and profound poignancy, To Kill a Mockingbird guides readers to the roots of human behavior—innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. With over 18 million copies in print and translations into ten languages, this regional story penned by Harper Lee, a young woman from Alabama, has achieved universal resonance. Lee herself always considered her book a simple love story. Today, it stands as a masterpiece of American literature.
