I have read and reread this one and it never loses its magic. This most recent reread was inspired by our brand new pup that we named Scout. It was Atticus and Calpurnia that stuck out to me this time, my first reading it after becoming a parent. It’s an impossible task, raising a child. The impact those two have on the story and Scout and Jem can’t be measured. I know I’ll reread this one again in every new season of life. (  ) bookworm12 | Sep 6, 2023 |  Dispara a todos los grajos que quieras, si puedes acertarle, pero recuerda que es pecado matar a un ruiseñor. El consejo de un abogado a sus hijos mientras él defiende el verdadero ruiseñor de la novela clásica de Harper Lee —un hombre negro acusado de violar a una niña blanca. A través de los ojos de Jem y Scout Finch, Harper Lee explora con humor y honestidad inquebrantable la irracionalidad de la actitud de los adultos hacia la raza y la clase en las profundidades del sur en la década de 1930. La conciencia de una ciudad impregnada de prejuicios, violencia e hipocresía se enfrenta con la resistencia y heroísmo silencioso de la lucha de un hombre por la justicia, pero el peso de la historia no tolera más allá de su límite. Uno de los clásicos más queridos de todos los tiempos, Matar a un ruiseñor ha ganado muchas distinciones desde su publicación original en 1960. Ha ganado el Premio Pulitzer, ha sido traducido a más de cuarenta idiomas, vendió más de cuarenta millones de copias en todo el mundo, y se han convertido en una popular película. También se nombró como la mejor novela del siglo XX por los bibliotecarios de todo el país (Library Journal). Compasivo, dramático y muy emotivo, Matar a un ruiseñor en esta nueva y moderna traducción lleva a los lectores a las raíces de la conducta humana, a la inocencia y experiencia, a la bondad y crueldad, al amor y odio, humor y patetismo. fewbach | Sep 1, 2023 | What a wonderful book! I am glad that I finally read it. It's full of kindness and hope. Atticus is a role model for every parent and I have so much to learn from him. Though the book was written in 1960 it reads as it could have been written now, which is kind of depressing, but also impressive.

Reading it was an amazing experience. It makes you think from the point of view of the town of Maycomb, to learn why they thought the way that they thought, I really love this book.

35 livres cultes à lire au moins une fois dans sa vie Quels sont les romans qu'il faut avoir lu absolument ? Un livre culte qui transcende, fait réfléchir, frissonner, rire ou pleurer… La littérature est indéniablement créatrice d’émotions. Si vous êtes adeptes des classiques, ces titres devraient vous plaire. De temps en temps, il n'y a vraiment rien de mieux que de se poser devant un bon bouquin, et d'oublier un instant le monde réel. Mais si vous êtes une grosse lectrice ou un gros lecteur, et que vous avez épuisé le stock de votre bibliothèque personnelle, laissez-vous tenter par ces quelques classiques de la littérature. "Bülbülü Öldürmek" harika bir roman ve başlamak için en iyisi. Bu, bir kardeşin (Jem ve Scout) ve tek bekar ebeveynleri, yani babaları Atticus ve bakıcı Calpurnia ile yaşarken beklenmedik bir dönüş ve dönüş getiren hayatları etrafında dönen bir hikaye. Hikayenin konusu, Boo Radley'in planı dışında başlangıçta net değildi, çünkü anlatı bazı olaylara derinden nüfuz etti ve aniden rotasını değiştirdi. Daha sonra bu kısa anlatımların, hikaye izci (8 yaşındaki) bakış açısıyla anlatıldığı için çocukların hissettikleri duyguları anlattığını fark ediyoruz. Yetiştirilmeleri, iyi beslendikleri ve Atticus tarafından iyi değerlerle donatıldıkları için büyüleyicidir. O, sözünün eri bir adamdır ve her senaryonun dürüst, doğru, eşitlikçi bir bakış açısına daima sahip olmuştur. Mesleği avukatlıktır ve çocuklarına düşünce ve eylemlerinde özgürlük duygusu vermiştir. Her ne kadar hikayenin sonunda gördüğümüz gibi işler ona göre gitmese de, hikaye güçlü bir ifadeyle sona erdi: "Ölüler ölüleri gömsün" yani bu dünyada insanların ne kadar doğru ya da yanlış olduğu anlamına gelir, her şey hesaba katılır ve faturanın vadesi gelir. Bu roman mutlaka okunmalı, severek okudum.  Mockingbird is not necessarily as widely admired among scholars of US literature as it is among its fans. I once enraged an audience of very nice book-lovers at the Cheltenham literary festival by suggesting that Mockingbird was just the teensiest bit overrated. There are many reasons for this assessment, not least the feeling that Atticus Finch’s famous moral rectitude is, in point of fact, disturbingly flexible. He tells Scout: “Before I can live with other folks, I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.” That’s all well and good, and a fine American sentiment that goes at least back to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. But part of Mark Twain’s radical move in that novel is to make his hero an illiterate backwoods boy; Lee’s hero is a virtuous, middle-class white man, full of noblesse oblige to the black people he defends (who revere him for it), but who doesn’t bat an eyelid at the common knowledge that the illiterate, white-trash Mayella Ewell is regularly raped and beaten by her father. Its sentiments and moral grandeur are as unimpeachable as the character of its hero, Atticus. ... It's time to stop pretending that "To Kill a Mockingbird" is some kind of timeless classic that ranks with the great works of American literature. Its bloodless liberal humanism is sadly dated, as pristinely preserved in its pages as the dinosaur DNA in "Jurassic Park." A book that we thought instructed us about the world tells us, instead, about the limitations of Jim Crow liberalism in Maycomb, Alabama.

A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father??a crusading local lawyer??risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible cr No library descriptions found.
