HARPER LEE - GEBRAUCHT TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD - ...

ONE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN NOVELS EVER WRITTEN  WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION   
'No one forgets this book' Independent  'One of the best first novels I remember ... uniquely
unsentimental' Guardian  'There is humour as well as tragedy in this book  besides its faint
note of hope for human nature  and it is delightfully written' Sunday Times  'A rare literary
phenomenon' Vogue   The iconic modern classic and coming-of-age novel exploring racism in the
American South.   '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 a serious crime.  Through the young
eyes of Scout and Jem Finch  Harper Lee explores the irrationality of adult attitudes to 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 of one man's struggle for justice.  But the
weight of history will only tolerate so much.   'Someone rare has written this very fine novel
a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest  most authentic humour. A touching
book  and so funny  so likeable.' Truman Capote
