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.
