Harper Lee Libros

Revision estelar. El amado Clasicos de America de Lee hace su debut tardio en audio (despues de haber estado disponible por un breve tiempo en la decada de 1990 para los ciegos y las bibliotecas por medio de Books on Tape) con el tipo de clasico empaque que podria echar a perder a los oyentes de todos los demas audiolibros. Los dos estuches de CD que contienen los once discos, no solo presentan un arte semejante al diseand ntilde;o hecho por Mary Schuck para la cubierta, sino que tambien ofrecen una util lista de pistas para cada disco. Muchos de los que vieron la adaptacion al cine hecha en 1962 piensan que Lee fue el narrador de la pelicula, pero en realidad fue Kim Stanley, quien leyo sin recibir compensacion alguna solo seis pasajes, y dejo una impresion indeleble. Compitiendo con el recuerdo de Stanley, Spacek se abre su propio paso hasta una lectura triunfante. Lee con un ligero acento sureand ntilde;o y una serena autoridad. Relatado por completo desde el punto de vista del joven Scout Finch, no hay necesidad de que Spacek cree voces individuales para los diversos personajes, aunque aun asi, les infunde emocion a todos. Esta novela de Lee, que gano el Premio Pulitzer en 196o, y se mantiene calladamente como una de las declaraciones mas poderosas del movimiento de Derechos Civiles, ha sido llevada al audio de una manera magnifica.

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).
