 ProfessorEX | Apr 15, 2021 |  Bel libro. Un po' lento, un po' semplice, un po' infantile ma comunque bello. (  ) sbaldi59 | Apr 10, 2021 | “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.” ― John F. Kennedy I met someone in the late '80s who went to a very fine southern law school and before that a very fine southern college. In a group the subject of race relations came up. We were all a little curious at how she would respond. She didn't miss a beat, saying "We have a lot of "tradition" in the Delta." And then she smiled. That was her response. One word. Tradition. This book is about tradition. And it still makes your stomach churn and your fists clench in futile rage against polite blindness and courteous savagery. I thought of The Help a bit when I read this, but then realized that this was closer to Souls of Black Folk in it's unflinching exploration of the terrible consequences of racism. Lee's gentle story-teller style and beautiful prose made it all the more devastating. We expected the violence bred of ignorance. But the harshest and most indefensible lines in the book were delivered by smiling southern belles--representing so called educated polite society. I think the world has changed quite a bit since then, obviously, but the importance of this book has not diminished. (  ) ChrisMcCaffrey | Apr 6, 2021 | One of my favorites; always worth a re-read. ( ) poirotketchup | Mar 18, 2021 | Fiction weaved to deliver lesson in integrity - an enriching read - Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winning novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ The book is compressed with lessons in humanity, equality and integrity. A fine guide into morally sound parenting. It directs and demonstrates for the reader a path to conduct humanely barring any discrimination, and to extend and exercise equality. Stirring one’s conscience to do what is right. To never let prejudice and hypocrisy win over justice. “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.” “I think there’s just one kind of folks. Folks.” “Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit’em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” #BookReview #ToKillAMockingbird #HarperLee For more writings follow: LinkedIn: #WritingNB | Twitter/Instagram: @NituBhojwani ( ) NituBhojwani | Mar 18, 2021 |
 Mockingbird is not necessarily as widely admired among scholars of US literature as it is among its fans. I once enraged an audience of very nice book-lovers at the Cheltenham literary festival by suggesting that Mockingbird was just the teensiest bit overrated. There are many reasons for this assessment, not least the feeling that Atticus Finch’s famous moral rectitude is, in point of fact, disturbingly flexible. He tells Scout: “Before I can live with other folks, I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.” That’s all well and good, and a fine American sentiment that goes at least back to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. But part of Mark Twain’s radical move in that novel is to make his hero an illiterate backwoods boy; Lee’s hero is a virtuous, middle-class white man, full of noblesse oblige to the black people he defends (who revere him for it), but who doesn’t bat an eyelid at the common knowledge that the illiterate, white-trash Mayella Ewell is regularly raped and beaten by her father. Its sentiments and moral grandeur are as unimpeachable as the character of its hero, Atticus. ... It's time to stop pretending that "To Kill a Mockingbird" is some kind of timeless classic that ranks with the great works of American literature. Its bloodless liberal humanism is sadly dated, as pristinely preserved in its pages as the dinosaur DNA in "Jurassic Park." A book that we thought instructed us about the world tells us, instead, about the limitations of Jim Crow liberalism in Maycomb, Alabama. There are some improbable and sentimental moments in the story, but there are also great moments of laughter that belong to memory and a novelist's hand... Miss Lee's original characters are people to cherish in this winning first novel by a fresh writer with something significant to say, South and North.

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD BY HARPER LEE
16
This story takes place in a small town in Alabama during the Great Depression and follows a young girl named Jem, her brother Scout and their father Atticus Finch. The story is told through Jem's eyes as she slowly grows up, a coming-of-age. A racially charged court case grips the community and this is when the story really unfolds.
Atticus Finch is a great character that teaches his kids morals and tries to raise them into responsible and good natured adults and by the end of the book I was big fan of his parenting style and the way he viewed the world.
There isn't much else I can say about this classic that hasn't been said already. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an inspirational and touching story! (
