To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee - book

1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

Maycomb, a small town in Alabama, during the Great Depression. Atticus Finch raises his two children alone. An upright lawyer, he decides, despite the moral and political prejudices of his time, to defend a Black man accused of raping a white woman. A bold denunciation of segregated America, To Kill a Mockingbird is also one of the greatest novels ever written about childhood. The tender and funny character of Scout has captivated millions of readers.

This novel, adapted for the cinema in 1962 under the title Of Silence and Shadows, has become a true legend. A literary must-have!
