"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).
Nelle Harper Lee is known for her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird, her only major work. In 1999, it was voted "Best Novel of the Century" in a poll by Library Journal. Ms. Lee was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature in 2007. Her father was a lawyer who served in the Alabama state legislature from 1926 to 1938. As a child, Lee was a tomboy and enjoyed the friendship of her schoolmate, Truman Capote. After completing To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee accompanied Capote to Holcomb, Kansas, to assist him in researching his bestselling book, In Cold Blood. Since publication of To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee has granted very few requests for interviews or public appearances. Her second novel, Go Set a Watchman, is scheduled to be released in July, 2015.
To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) 不知道为什么,以前这个书名给我印象一直是关于什么谋杀案推理类的小说,等我真的翻开这本书时,真是万幸我抛开了先入为主的偏见。看到好书总是让我“无语”,无法用语言表达,只能做摘录。 从一个七八岁女孩Scout的视角观察和描述复杂的...
评分这本书的第一遍基本是在地铁上看完的。这不是一个悬念迭出、情节跌宕的故事,甚至几乎没有爱情的描写(除非小女主人公与迪儿过家家般的结婚约定也算的话),但看书的每天都觉得路上的时间比平时要短。为了写书评又在短时间内重看了第二次,仍是看得津津有味,不忍释卷,好书的...
评分这一周看《杀死一只反舌鸟》,感慨良多。趁记忆还温热,人物还鲜活之际,草草写下。见笑。 深度与广度 长篇小说,最考验作者驾驭能力的,是主题深厚与广泛之间的拿捏。哈珀·李是个半路出家的作家,科班出身的法学学生。《反舌鸟》描摹的是一位律师,中心事...
评分你还在忙着,不过没关系,我想和你聊聊我对这本书《杀死一只知更鸟》的看法,你有时间的话就能看到了。 我依旧感叹于童年没有这么多的奇遇,这让我发现我过去的那些浅薄,不是年龄所能掩盖的,可我又不得不承认即使现在读完这本书,我也受益匪浅。 这本书的片段似乎带有强烈的...
评分四年之后重读《杀死一只反舌鸟》,再次泪流满面。我记不大清楚自己上次看小说哭泣是什么时候,大概是一年前看《那些年》,虽然那本书写的幼稚又浮夸,但想必是想到了自己很久以前也曾经闪光的时刻。 躺在狭小的火车硬卧中铺,突然意识到自己变了太多太多。我曾经以...
从小就是个哭包儿,一直都不愿意读太深刻的书,不喜欢看催泪的电影。作为在中国长大的孩子,从未深入了解过北美的种族歧视。它就像一道深深的伤疤,表面痊愈了,但是伤痕永远抹不掉。直到今天,作者硬生生地揭开这疮疤摆在你面前,告诉你曾经有过的残酷是多么不公平却又真实,让人唏嘘又流泪不止。
评分经典。
评分It’s a good book but it’s a bit of boring.
评分神奇的书,小女孩的角度讲述了种族平等,法制,道德,社区,人性
评分故事发生在美国的南方地区,南北战争中支持保留黑奴的一方,一部讲述种族歧视的作品。让我比较欣赏的是主角兄妹俩的律师父亲。当他决定为黑人辩护的时候,其实绝对已经输了,只因为被告人是黑人,而原告是白人,尽管那个黑人什么都没有干。“Mockingbird”,反舌鸟,在这本书中应该是指那些敢于逆流为黑人站出来,反抗种族歧视的人。文中的父亲就是其中之一,我认为他生命中最伟大的成就之一就是教会了他的一双白人儿女平等地看待每一个人。
