From Harper Lee comes a landmark new novel set two decades after her beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird. Maycomb, Alabama. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch - `Scout' - returns home from New York City to visit her ageing 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 be guided only by one's own conscience. Written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman imparts a fuller, richer understanding and appreciation of Harper Lee. Here is an unforgettable novel of wisdom, humanity, passion, humour 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 a classic.
"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel—a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man's struggle for justice—but the weight of history will only tolerate so much. One of the best-loved classics of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many dis-tinctions since its original publication in 1960. It has won the Pulitzer Prize, been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, and been made into an enormously popular movie. It was also named the best novel of the twentieth century by librarians across the country (Library Journal).
Landesabitur Hessen 2020-2022 To Kill A Mockingbird erschien 1960 auf dem Höhepunkt der amerikanischen Bürgerrechtsbewegung und traf damit den Nerv der Zeit. Dieser Entwicklungsroman, der umgehend zum Bestseller avancierte, entlarvt die rassistische Bigotterie der Südstaaten aus der Sicht von Scout, einem jungen Mädchen aus einem kleinen Ort in Alabama während der Großen Depression. Der Kern der Handlung ist der Prozess gegen einen jungen Farbigen, der zu Unrecht der Vergewaltigung angeklagt wird, ein Prozess, der sukzessive die schlechtesten und die besten Eigenschaften der Menschen herauskehrt. Der Roman enthält zahlreiche autobiografische und historische Bezüge. So war etwa der Gerichtsprozess im Roman inspiriert von den Scottsboro Boys Prozessen, einem realen Justizirrtum in Alabama in den 1930ern. Damals waren neun dunkelhäutige Jugendliche fälschlich angeklagt worden, zwei weiße Frauen vergewaltigt zu haben. Seit seinem Erscheinen vor über 50 Jahren ist der Roman ein Bestseller geblieben und zum Lieblingsbuch vieler Lehrer und Schüler geworden. Das begleitende Annotations-Heft bietet ausführliche Annotationen, Hintergrundinformationen, eine Timeline und weiterführende Texte für die selbstständige Erarbeitung durch Schülerinnen und Schüler.

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.
Revision estelar. El amado Clasicos de America de Lee hace su debut tardio en audio (despues de haber estado disponible por un breve tiempo en la decada de 1990 para los ciegos y las bibliotecas por medio de Books on Tape) con el tipo de clasico empaque que podria echar a perder a los oyentes de todos los demas audiolibros. Los dos estuches de CD que contienen los once discos, no solo presentan un arte semejante al diseand ntilde;o hecho por Mary Schuck para la cubierta, sino que tambien ofrecen una util lista de pistas para cada disco. Muchos de los que vieron la adaptacion al cine hecha en 1962 piensan que Lee fue el narrador de la pelicula, pero en realidad fue Kim Stanley, quien leyo sin recibir compensacion alguna solo seis pasajes, y dejo una impresion indeleble. Compitiendo con el recuerdo de Stanley, Spacek se abre su propio paso hasta una lectura triunfante. Lee con un ligero acento sureand ntilde;o y una serena autoridad. Relatado por completo desde el punto de vista del joven Scout Finch, no hay necesidad de que Spacek cree voces individuales para los diversos personajes, aunque aun asi, les infunde emocion a todos. Esta novela de Lee, que gano el Premio Pulitzer en 196o, y se mantiene calladamente como una de las declaraciones mas poderosas del movimiento de Derechos Civiles, ha sido llevada al audio de una manera magnifica.
