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.
Pretty overrated. Felt that way when I first read as a 13 year old and still feel that way now. I do not really get the modern circle jerk. I imagine at release it may have been more provocative and though provoking but I really feel as something to read in this century it just kind of falls flat.
Orain arte irakurri ditudan liburuekin alderatuta oso ezberdina da hau. Horregatik dezente kostatu zitzaidan erritmoa eta gustua hartzea, 100. orrira arte edo ez nuelako jakin zer kontatu nahi zidan... eta gero ere, antzeko jarraitu du.
Bestelako liburua da, ume baten ikuspegitik dagoelako kontatua. Eta umeek emozioez gidatzen dute beren burua, ez justiziaz, ez gizalegez. Eta horrexegatik kontatzen du egunerokoa, detaile txikienari ere garrantzia emanda; eta, guzti horren artean, helduoi garrantzitsuagoak iruditzen zaizkigunak aipatzen ditu: justizia, arrazakeria, epaiketak, hilketak... baina beti eragiten dizkion emozioetatik abiatuta. Horregatik da bestelakoa liburua hau, eta, azkenean, liburuak horixe kontatu nahi zidala ondorioztatu dut: umetasuna.
Romanzo per giovani adultǝ scorrevole e di forte impatto, ma capisco perché molti americani non apprezzino: vederselo obbligato come libro sul tema razzismo nelle scuole non mi sembra proprio il massimo, visto che se lo si analizza con minuzia cade talvolta nella narrativa del salvatore bianco.
