Leer másThe 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.

(Alabama, EE UU, 1926 - 2016). Escritora estadounidense. 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 literario. Amiga personal de Truman Capote, Lee decidió retirarse del mundanal ruido cuando alcanzó la fama. Obtuvo el Premio Pulitzer en 1961. 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.
