New Releases by Harper Lee

From one of America''s most beloved authors, a posthumous collection of newly discovered short stories and previously published essays and magazine pieces, offering a fresh perspective on the remarkable literary mind of Harper Lee. Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon - thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To Kill a Mockingbird; as well as for the darker, late-''50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman, her only other novel, published in 2015 after its rediscovery. Less remembered, until now, however, is Harper Lee the dogged young writer, who crafted stories in hopes of magazine publication; Lee the lively New Yorker, Alabamian, and friend to Truman Capote; and the Lee who peppered the pages of McCall''s and Vogue with thoughtful essays in the latter part of the twentieth century. The Land of Sweet Forever combines Lee''s early short fiction and later nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice. Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee''s youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of Sweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life. This collection comes with an introduction by Casey Cep, Harper Lee''s appointed biographer, which provides illuminating background for our reading of these stories and connects them both to Lee''s life and to her two novels.

Voted America''s Best-Loved Novel in PBS''s The Great American Read Harper Lee''s beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, reissued in a beautiful deluxe limited edition hardcover. "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ''em, but remember it''s a sin to kill a mockingbird." Experience the indelible world of Scout, Jem, Boo Radley, Atticus Finch, and the small town of Maycomb, Alabama, with this beautiful deluxe limited edition hardcover of Harper Lee''s beloved classic. A haunting portrait of race, innocence, injustice, and quiet heroism in the Jim Crowe Deep South of the 1930s, Harper Lee''s To Kill a Mockingbird remains as fresh and important today as it was upon its initial publication in 1960. Enduring in vision, this timeless novel illuminates the complexities of human nature and the depths of the human heart with humor, unwavering honesty, and a tender, nostalgic beauty. It is a poignant reminder that moral courage and love can flourish in the darkest of times. A staple of American classrooms for decades, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture and acclaimed Broadway play, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians nationwide. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South defined by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great wonder and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father--a principled lawyer--risks everything to defend a black man falsely accused of a terrible crime.

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.

Det är 30-tal i en småstad i den amerikanska Södern, mitt under den stora depressionen. En ung svart man, Tom Robinson, anklagas för våldtäkt på en vit kvinna, och samhället vänder sig mot honom. Maycomb må framstå som en sömnig idyll, men under ytan är staden djupt splittrad av segregation och klassklyftor. Åttaåriga Scout är dotter till försvarsadvokaten som tilldelas fallet. Hatet som kokar i staden sipprar oundvikligen in i barnens värld. För Scout, som inte kan låta bli att blanda sig i de vuxnas angelägenheter, blir rättegången mot Tom Robinson det första mötet med samhällets orättvisor. ”Att döda en härmtrast” är en av 1900-talets mest älskade och omdiskuterade romaner. Den hör till de amerikanska klassikerna och finner ständigt nya läsare.

Voted "America’s Best-Loved Novel" by The Great American Read series, PBS Harper Lee’s beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird, now translated into Latin. “Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ’em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” A haunting portrait of race and class, innocence and injustice, hypocrisy and heroism, tradition and transformation in the Deep South of the 1930s, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird remains as important today as it was upon its initial publication in 1960, during the turbulent years of the Civil Rights movement. 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 young Scout, as her father Atticus Finch, a crusading local lawyer, risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime. Now, this most beloved and acclaimed novel is retold in this beautiful Latin language edition, translated by Andrew Wilson.

Uno de los grandes clásicos cabecera del siglo XX adaptada a novela gráfica. « Uno es valiente cuando, sabiendo que la batalla está perdida, lo intenta a pesar de todo y lucha hasta el final, pase lo que pase. Uno gana raras veces, pero alguna vez gana.» Matar a un ruiseñor es una de esas historias inmortales que se te pegan al corazón y te sacuden la conciencia. Es la historia de dos hermanos que aprenden a ver el mundo con otros ojos; también es la historia del padre que todos querríamos tener: Atticus Finch. Un hombre de valentía insobornable que defiende hasta el final la idea de que ser diferente no significa indefectiblemente ser culpable. Un poderoso mensaje retratado con una ternura punzante que ha conquistado a 40 millones de lectores en todo el mundo y que ha traspasado, generación tras generación, las barreras de la edad y el tiempo. Esta novela gráfica, que captura magistralmente la esencia del gran clásico, nos brinda una nueva oportunidad para volver a creer en la justicia.

Livre culte dans le monde entier, Ne tirez pas sur l’oiseau moqueur raconte l’histoire d’Atticus Finch, jeune avocat, qui élève seul ses deux enfants Jem et Scout. Lorsqu’il est commis d’office pour la défense d’un homme noir accusé d’avoir violé une femme blanche, la vie de la petite famille bascule. Nous sommes dans les années 1930, dans une petite ville de l’Alabama et certaines vérités peuvent être dangereuses à démontrer... Grâce au talent de Fred Fordham (notamment découvert en France grâce à Nightfall, paru chez Delcourt), ce roman graphique donne une nouvelle vie au chef d’œuvre d’Harper Lee. L’illustrateur a exploré les lieux qui ont compté pour la mythique auteure américaine en se plongeant dans sa vie afin de s’approcher au plus près de son imaginaire. Fred Fordham offre un éclairage inédit du texte avec ce magnifique ouvrage qui renforce encore la modernité de l’œuvre de Lee. Couronné par le prix Pulitzer en 1961, Ne tirez pas sur l’oiseau moqueur est l’un des plus grands classiques de la littérature du xxème siècle.

Written in the 1950s but unpublished until recently, Go Set a Watchman is neither a prequel nor a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, and attempting to read it as a simple continuation of the story does not do the work justice. As the adult Jean Louise, \"Scout,\" returns to Macomb to visit Atticus, Go Set a Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a world, in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past—a journey that can only be guided by one’s own conscience. While many characters appear in both novels, some significant characters, like Boo Radley and Hank Clinton, exist in only one of the texts. Go Set a Watchman is also strikingly different in style and tone. Thematically complex and highly allusive, it is a novel that demands active and close reading. This ebook contains sample chapters from Go Set a Watchman and a teaching guide to help educators lead their students through an exploration of the themes, structure, and allusive references in Go Set a Watchman. Questions in the Guided Reading and Discussion section will help highlight the development of plot, character, and theme. Because the text features allusions that students are likely to be unfamiliar with, the guide also includes an index of annotated allusions to help facilitate close reading. Prompts for Writing and Research provide topics for longer writing tasks or research projects. Finally, this guide features an additional section that explores the writer’s craft by looking at both To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman.

A new traditional Chinese edition of \"To Kill a Mockingbird,\" Harper Lee''s classic - a tender story told through the eyes of the 8-year old Scout Finch. In depression era south a white lawyer faced enormous challenges defending a black man accused of raping a white woman.

De l''autora de Matar un rossinyol. Ens trobem davant d''un dels grans esdeveniments literaris dels darrers temps: la publicació de la primera novel·la de Harper Lee, Vés i aposta un sentinella, gràcies a l''extraordinària troballa recent del manuscrit. A mitjan anys cinquanta, la jove Jean Louise Finch, «Scout», que viu a Nova York, torna com cada estiu a la casa familiar de Maycomb per visitar el seu pare, Atticus, un advocat d''edat avançada. En aquest tranquil llogaret d''Alabama on va passar la infantesa, Scout ha d''afrontar una sèrie de qüestions personals, socials i polítiques que involucren el poble sencer i que fins i tot fan que posi en dubte la relació amb el seu pare. Una història commovedora, divertida i convincent en què tot un seguit de personatges únics –alguns dels més entranyables de Matar un rossinyol– viuen i s''adapten als canvis i fets turbulents que van transformar els Estats Units a mitjan segle XX i que, alhora, ofereix una perspectiva nova i fascinant sobre un clàssic. En definitiva, una novel·la magnífca. «Que Harper Lee publiqui una novel·la té un impacte similar, en el món literari, al que en el seu moment hauria tingut en el món musical la reunió dels Beatles. L''autora de Matar un rossinyol era fins ara una autora d''una sola obra. Ara amb Vés i aposta un sentinella ja no.» Marc Bassets, El País «Possiblement un dels descobriments més importants de la literatura nord-americana contemporània.» A. Alter i S. F. Kovaleski, Ara

Det har blivit femtiotal i småstaden Maycomb i Alabama. Den nu vuxna Jean Louise Finch – eller Scout som hon kallas – återvänder hem från New York för att besöka sin far, Atticus. Scout blir tvungen att brottas med såväl personliga som politiska frågor medan hon försöker förstå sin fars syn på samhället, liksom sina egna känslor inför platsen där hon växte upp. Ställ ut en väktare är Harper Lees första roman på över femtio år och den andra någonsin som ges ut. Den skrevs innan Dödssynden (To Kill a Mockingbird), men utspelar sig kronologiskt sett efter händelserna i debutboken. Lee trodde själv att manuset hade gått förlorat, tills det återfanns förra året. Ställ ut en väktare är en tankeväckande roman skriven i en turbulent tid, som kastar nytt ljus över en av den moderna litteraturens klassiker.
