Harper Lee Libros

El amado clásico de Lee hace su debut tardío en audio, después de haber estado brevemente disponible en la década de 1990. Este lanzamiento cuenta con un empaque que podría arruinar a los oyentes para otros audiolibros. Los dos estuches de CD contienen once discos, presentando un arte similar al diseño de Mary Schuck y una útil lista de pistas. Muchos que vieron la adaptación cinematográfica de 1962 creen que Lee fue narrador, pero en realidad fue Kim Stanley, quien leyó solo seis pasajes sin compensación, dejando una impresión duradera. Spacek, sin embargo, ofrece una lectura triunfante con su ligero acento sureño y serena autoridad. Narrado desde el punto de vista del joven Scout Finch, no necesita crear voces individuales para los personajes, aunque les infunde emoción. Esta novela, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer en 1960 y una de las declaraciones más poderosas del movimiento de Derechos Civiles, ha sido llevada al audio de manera magnífica. Disponible como libro en rústica en Perennial. (Agosto.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, división de Reed Elsevier Inc. Todos los derechos reservados. - Publishers Weekly

Disparad a todos los arrendajos azules que queráis, si podéis acertarles, pero recordad que es un pecado matar a un ruiseñor.Este es el consejo que da a sus hijos un abogado que está defendiendo al verdadero ruiseñor del clásico de Harper Lee: un hombre de color acusado de violar a una joven blanca. Desde la mirada de Jem y Scout Finch, Harper Lee explora con humor y una honestidad insobornable la actitud irracional que en cuestiones de raza y clase social tenían los adultos del Sur profundo en los años treinta. La conciencia de una ciu-dad impregnada de prejuicios, violencia e hipocresía se enfrenta con la fortaleza y el heroísmo silencioso de un hombre que lucha por la justicia.'Matar a un ruiseñor', audaz en la creación de una voz ingenua pero perspicaz, tan ocurrente como insolente, es también la novela de la formación de una niña tempera-mental y muy singular, movida por la aspiración de ser mejor y comprender a los otros. Los alegatos de Atticus ante el juez y el jurado, su valor, su aplomo, impregnan el libro, pero la corriente que sacude en todo momento a los lectores la conduce Scout, la chiquilla vestida de cualquier manera, sin coquetería, a la que le gusta leer, saber, escuchar.

Tras la obra maestra ganadora del Premio Pulitzer Matar a un ruiseñor, Harper Lee nos sorprende con Ve y pon un centinela, una nueva mirada sobre el clásico. Maycomb, Alabama. A los veintiséis años Jean Louise Finch, Scout, vuelve a casa desde Nueva York para visitar a su padre, Atticus. Con el trasfondo de la lucha por los derechos civiles y los disturbios políticos que estaban convulsionando el Sur, el regreso de Jean Louise a casa se torna agridulce. El descubrimiento de perturbadoras verdades sobre su familia, la ciudad y las personas que más quiere, unido a los recuerdos de su infancia, va a hacer que se cuestione todos sus valores. Ve y pon un centinela capta a la perfección la dolorosa transición vital de una joven que deja atrás las ilusiones del pasado en un viaje que únicamente puede ser guiado por la propia conciencia. Escrito a mediados de los años cincuenta, Ve y pon un centinela nos ayuda a entender y apreciar a Harper Lee en toda su intensidad. Una novela inolvidable de sabiduría, humanidad, pasión, humor y espontánea precisión, una obra de arte hondamente emotiva que evoca de una forma maravillosa otra época, que nace siendo un clásico y, como tal, tiene plena vigencia.

"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).
