This story follows three years in the life of eight-year-old Scout Finch, her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus. The three years are punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman. The result is a tough and tender novel of race, class, justice, and the pain of growing up, all through the eyes of a young girl.

L'autore

Harper Lee naci� en Monroeville (Alabama, EE UU), en 1926. En 1931, un conflicto racista acontecido en la localidad vecina de Scottsboro conmocion� a la sociedad estadounidense. Lee, testigo indirecto de los hechos, se inspir� en este suceso para escribir su primera y �nica novela conocida hasta 2015, Matar a un ruise�or, convertida hoy en un cl�sico de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX. Amiga personal de Truman Capote, Lee decidi� retirarse del mundanal ruido cuando alcanz� la fama. En 2007, recibi� la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad de Estados Unidos por su carrera literaria. Premio Pulitzer en 1961, un a�o despu�s el director Robert Mulligan la llev� a la pantalla en una inolvidable pel�cula que obtuvo dos Oscar de la Academia: al mejor guion (Horton Foote) y al mejor int�rprete masculino (Gregory Peck). En 2015 se ha reencontrado la novela Go Set a Watchman (Ve y pon un centinela), rechazada por sus editores en su momento y una de cuyas tramas secundarias es la que dio origen a Matar a un ruise�or.
