About the book

The novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, published in 1960, is one of the most important works of American literature. It tells a story set in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama during the 1930s, a community divided by racial and social prejudices. The narrator is a young girl named Scout, whose father, Atticus Finch, is a lawyer courageously defending an innocent Black man accused of a serious crime. This courtroom case exposes the town’s divisions, the power of courage, and the necessity of moral integrity.
