adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Uma bela história sob a perspectiva de uma menina. Harper Lee toca-nos em pequenos detalhes das situações em que demonstra verdades comum a todos os homens: a maioria deles são bons, dependendo das circunstâncias. A tradução em Português (BR) da editora José Olympio é pobre em notas de tradução, e até mesmo a capa do livro exiba uma fote de uma casa que não se assemelha à nenhuma descrição da história, nem mesmo àquela de Boo Radley. Falta um prefácio que informe ao leitor desavisado a importância dessa obra. Mesmo com esses pequenos percalços da edição brasileira, a própria história não deixa nada a desejar. (  ) thiagobomfim | Dec 17, 2009 |  The library I work at was hosting the 'Big Read' and chose this book for '08. I had read it in high school but the hubby hadn't so we decided to read it aloud to each other. I understood so much more this time around (partly because I was a pretty naive teenager) and loved every minute of it.Scout's recollections are funny, smart, heartbreaking, and endearing as only as child's can be. It was amazing to step back in time to learn about small town Southern life in the midst of a crisis. The slow yet steady building of events sucks you in until you are so entrenched in Scout's persona that you feel the same emotions. This time I was much more taken with Jem's character -- I appreciated his quest to become every much the honest gentleman that Atticus is. A pure delight! (  ) mmillet | Dec 14, 2009 | I loved this book! I was fourteen when I read it. It's part mystery, part adventure. There are lots of lessons to be learned from it. (  )1  MMWiseheart | Dec 9, 2009 | In this book it tells about a young man accused of a crime just becuase of his race. With the help of two young children he may be able to prove the court wrong! This is an eye opening and heart warming story, i highly recamend it. (  )1 MrsSClass | Dec 7, 2009 | Every time I pick this novel up, I am amazed at how well written and engaging it is. I can go years without reading it, and not pay any attention to it, and then pick it up and have dozens of truths about how the world works and thinks, and dozens of memories about my own childhood, about the first time I encountered this novel, and my own hopes and dreams that were created when reading about the trial that Atticus took on. This is one of those novels that I encourage everyone to read. Even if reading isn't your thing, or if you prefer non-fiction or whatnot. Harper Lee created a moving and magnificent story that will get to the core of anyone that reads it. ( )2 dragonfairy | Dec 6, 2009 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

| Descrição do livro |
|
Set in the small Southern town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Depression, To Kill a Mockingbird follows three years in the life of 8-year-old Scout Finch, her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus--three years punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman. Though her story explores big themes, Harper Lee chooses to tell it through the eyes of a child. The result is a tough and tender novel of race, class, justice, and the pain of growing up.
Like the slow-moving occupants of her fictional town, Lee takes her time getting to the heart of her tale; we first meet the Finches the summer before Scout's first year at school. She, her brother, and Dill Harris, a boy who spends the summers with his aunt in Maycomb, while away the hours reenacting scenes from Dracula and plotting ways to get a peek at the town bogeyman, Boo Radley. At first the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape of Mayella Ewell, the daughter of a drunk and violent white farmer, barely penetrate the children's consciousness. Then Atticus is called on to defend the accused, Tom Robinson, and soon Scout and Jem find themselves caught up in events beyond their understanding. During the trial, the town exhibits its ugly side, but Lee offers plenty of counterbalance as well--in the struggle of an elderly woman to overcome her morphine habit before she dies; in the heroism of Atticus Finch, standing up for what he knows is right; and finally in Scout's hard-won understanding that most people are essentially kind "when you really see them." By turns funny, wise, and heartbreaking, To Kill a Mockingbird is one classic that continues to speak to new generations, and deserves to be reread often. --Alix Wilber
