Ubiti pticu rugalicu

Harper Lee

"Shoot the jays all you want if you can hit them, but remember, it's a shame to kill a mockingbird... they don't do anything but sing to us. They don't destroy people's gardens, they don't nest in the corn, they just sing. That's why it's a sin to kill a

This seemingly indirect metaphor for why it is a sin to kill "mockingbirds" of a different skin color, like the falsely accused Tom Robinson, or a different lifestyle like the self-deprecating Boo Radley, is just one of the low moral teachings of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize upon its publication in 1960, and the author gained worldwide fame and - although she never published another literary work! - she forever inscribed her name in the history of American and world literature.

Harper Lee writes in simple, easy-to-understand language, irresistibly seductive, witty and often touching, but never pathetic. Seizing a truly happy moment in the light of a long-ago summer, this "Jane Austen of South Alabama" wrote a wonderful book about love and the longing for justice, creating a brilliant work of art of eternally fresh beauty, warmth and moral strength. From the perspective of the girl Scout, it tells the story of growing up and discrimination against black people in the American South in the 1930s, but it offers much more than a story about childhood and racism - it is a fascinating story about love, morality, ethics, justice, upbringing, courage, friendship, life wisdom... and that is why it was and remains a cult read for all generations.
