Nell Harper Lee
American writer
Born in Alabama in 1926Died there in 2016Works:To Kill a Mockingbird (1960), novelGo Set a Watchman (2015), novelBorn in 1926 in Alabama, Nell Harper Lee began studying law before going to live in New York, where she found a job working for an airline company and spent her free time writing. Published in 1960, To Kill a Mockingbird was an immediate success. Two years later, Robert Mulligan adapted the story into a film starring Gregory Peck. In 2015, Harper Lee’s publisher released a sequel that Lee had written decades earlier, entitled Go Set a Watchman. However, it was met with great criticism and many readers are unsure that Lee ever intended for it to be published. It is now generally accepted as being a first draft of To Kill a Mockingbird, rather than a sequel.
To Kill a Mockingbird
A child’s view on the seriousness of the world
Genre: novelReference edition: Lee, H. (2002) To Kill a Mockingbird. New York: HarperCollins.First edition: 1960Themes: childhood, racism, disillusionment, intolerance, legal trialsTo Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 in North America, in the middle of the fight for black civil rights. After publication, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and has sold over thirty million copies worldwide. This novel of initiation tells the story of a few years in the life of Scout, a little 6-year-old girl, while her father, a lawyer, defends a black man who has been accused of raping a white woman.
Combining the lightness of childhood memories with the gravity of racism and ordinary stupidity, this story set in a small town in Alabama in the 1930s, at the time of the Great Depression, is wonderfully told from the naïve and often amusing perspective of young Scout.
