Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Catalán. «Dispareu a tants gaigs com vulgueu, però recordeu que és un pecat matar un rossinyol. »Aquest és el consell que un advocat dóna als seus fills mentre defensa l'autèntic rossinyol d'aquest clàssic fascinant: un negre acusat d'haver violat una noia blanca. A través dels joves ulls de l'Scout i en Jem Finch, Harper Lee examina amb un humor molt ric la irracionalitat dels prejudicis racials i socials dels adults al sud dels Estats Units dels anys trenta. La consciència d'un poble impregnat de judicis preconcebuts, violència i hipocresia trontolla gràcies a l'empenta d'un home sol que combat per la justícia. Però el pes de la història no consentirà res més que això. . . «Una persona poc corrent ha escrit aquesta esplèndida novel la; una escriptora amb un vivíssim sentit de la realitat i amb un humor extremament tendre i sincer. Un llibre commovedor; i molt entretingut, molt amè. » Truman Capote *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Binding still retains some crispness. Else a very good copy in a very good dust jacket. Long regarded as a highpoint in American literature and beloved by generations of readers not just in the United States but worldwide, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction just after its 1960 publication, the latter event being what this particular edition commemorates. And the novel's highly successful 1962 movie adaptation, nominated for eight Academy Awards and winner of three, further ingrained the compelling story of daughter Scout her attorney father Atticus Finch into the American consciousness. While author Harper Lee was always quite private she was never a recluse as that reputation was promulgated by the remoteness of her rural hometown of Monroeville, Alabama which afforded protection from an incessant barrage of autograph seekers that would mark her public appearances in New York and elsewhere. But, of course, signed copy demand never waned and HarperCollins issued this 35th anniversary edition (followed by a 40th edition too) with publisher-arranged author signings in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa as well as Lee's own preferred many-year-running annual Christmas signing event at Montgomery's Capitol Book & News.
