内容简介
"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). HarperCollins is proud to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the book's publication with this special hardcover edition. Winner of the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Literature, Fiction.作者简介
Harper Lee(born April 28, 1926) is an American author known for her 1961 Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird, which deals with the issues of racism that the author observed as a child in her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama. Despite being Lee's only published book, it led to her being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature. Lee has received numerous honorary degrees but has always declined to make a speech. Other significant contributions include assisting her close friend Truman Capote in his research for the book In Cold Blood.哈珀·李,1926年出生于美国南方阿拉巴马州的一个小镇,父亲是位律师,曾任州立法委员。哈波·李在当地的公立学校毕业后,进入阿拉巴马大学学习法律,并曾作为交换学生到英国牛津大学学习一年。在还有六个月就要毕业的时候,她离开了学校,搬到纽约去追求自己的写作梦想。她在纽约一边做航空公司的订票员,一边写作。后来受朋友和编辑的鼓励,她返回阿拉巴马的家乡小镇,以自己的童年生活片断为基础创作小说。代表作是1960年发行的《杀死一只知更鸟》。这本书直到现在都仍然很畅销。40年来,尽管狗仔队查到了她的住所——她跟她的姐姐阿丽丝一起住在美国阿拉巴马州的门罗维尔市,但她从来没有接受过访问。她一直都是单身,也没有子女。
她童年时的玩伴杜鲁门·卡波特(与她一同合作创作了《冷血》一书)所经历过的坎坷——从名声大噪、聚光灯下的明星、知名配偶、酒宴到吸毒、酗酒以至早年英逝——对于李来说,或许成了她不可抹杀的梦魇。
她给《奥普拉》杂志写了一封信,信中这样写道:“在一个盛产手提电脑、iPod和思想就像空荡荡的房子一样的繁华社会里,我依然与我的书本迈着缓慢的脚步前行。”
精彩书评
"When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow.... When enough years had gone by to enable us to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events leading to his accident. I maintain that the Ewells started it all, but Jem, who was four years my senior, said it started long before that. He said it began the summer Dill came to us, when Dill first gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out." Set in the small Southern town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Depression, To Kill a Mockingbird follows three years in the life of 8-year-old Scout Finch, her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus--three years punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman. Though her story explores big themes, Harper Lee chooses to tell it through the eyes of a child. The result is a tough and tender novel of race, class, justice, and the pain of growing up. Like the slow-moving occupants of her fictional town, Lee takes her time getting to the heart of her tale; we first meet the Finches the summer before Scout's first year at school. She, her brother, and Dill Harris, a boy who spends the summers with his aunt in Maycomb, while away the hours reenacting scenes from Dracula and plotting ways to get a peek at the town bogeyman, Boo Radley. At first the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape of Mayella Ewell, the daughter of a drunk and violent white farmer, barely penetrate the children's consciousness. Then Atticus is called on to defend the accused, Tom Robinson, and soon Scout and Jem find themselves caught up in events beyond their understanding. During the trial, the town exhibits its ugly side, but Lee offers plenty of counterbalance as well--in the struggle of an elderly woman to overcome her morphine habit before she dies; in the heroism of Atticus Finch, standing up for what he knows is right; and finally in Scout's hard-won understanding that most people are essentially kind "when you really see them." By turns funny, wise, and heartbreaking, To Kill a Mockingbird is one classic that continues to speak to new generations, and deserves to be reread often."
