Il buio oltre la siepeSerie
Questa serie letteraria esplora le complessità della natura umana e della moralità attraverso gli occhi di una giovane ragazza in una città del sud negli anni '30. La narrazione si concentra su temi di giustizia, pregiudizio e perdita dell'innocenza mentre suo padre, un avvocato, difende un uomo nero innocente. Queste storie offrono profonde riflessioni sulle disuguaglianze sociali e sul potere dell'empatia.
In una cittadina del "profondo" Sud degli Stati Uniti l'onesto avvocato Atticus Finch è incaricato della difesa d'ufficio di un "negro" accusato di violenza carnale; riuscirà a dimostrarne l'innocenza, ma l'uomo sarà ugualmente condannato a morte. La vicenda, che è solo l'episodio centrale del romanzo, è raccontata dalla piccola Scout, la figlia di Atticus, un Huckleberry in gonnella, che scandalizza le signore con un linguaggio non proprio ortodosso, testimone e protagonista di fatti che nella loro atrocità e violenza non riescono mai a essere più grandi di lei. Nel suo raccontare lieve e veloce, ironico e pietoso, rivive il mondo dell'infanzia che è un po' di tutti noi, con i suoi miti, le sue emozioni, le sue scoperte
Go Set a Watchman is set during the mid-1950s and features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Scout (Jean Louise Finch) has returned to Maycomb from New York to visit her father Atticus. She is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand both her father's attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood.
"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. Disponible como libro en
rustica en Perennial. (Agosto.) Copyright and copy; Reed Business Information,

'Absolut genial.' (The New Yorker)
Harper Lee beschwört den Zauber und die Poesie einer Kindheit im tiefen Süden der Vereinigten Staaten: Die Geschwister Scout und Jem wachsen im Alabama der 1930er Jahre auf. Jäh bricht die Wirklichkeit des Rassenhasses in ihre behütete Welt ein, als ihr Vater, der Anwalt Atticus Finch, einen wegen Vergewaltigung angeklagten Schwarzen verteidigt. Finch lehrt seine Kinder Verständnis und Toleranz, allen Anfeindungen und Angriffen ihrer „ehrbaren“ Mitbürger zum Trotz. Unvergessliche Figuren, menschliche Güte und stiller Humor zeichnen den Roman aus, der in mehr als 40 Sprachen übersetzt wurde und Millionen von Lesern in seinen Bann zog.
'Ich weiß, was du letzten Sommer getan hast. Du hast Harper Lee gelesen.' (Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung)
