Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning master work of honor and injustice in the deep South&mdash\;and the heroism of on e man in the face of blind and violent hatred
\nOne of the \;mos t cherished \;stories of all time\, \;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 m otion picture\, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth cent ury by librarians across the country. A gripping\, heart-wrenching\, and w holly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent pre judice\, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through th e eyes of a young girl\, as her father&mdash\;a crusading local lawyer&mda sh\;risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
\n&ldquo\;A first novel of such rare excellence that it will no doubt make a great many readers slow down to relish more fully its simp le distinction. . . . A novel of strong contemporary national significance .&rdquo\; &mdash\; \;Chicago Tribune
