Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
Published in 1960, To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the most widely read novels in the United States. Harper Lee tells it through the eyes of Scout, a six-year-old girl. Scout's real name is Jean Louise Finch. The story takes place in Maycomb, a small fictional town in Alabama, during the Great Depression. That worldwide economic crisis marked the 1930s.
Between children's games, innocent curiosity, and a courtroom drama, the book is about justice, empathy, and courage in the face of racism. It won the Pulitzer in 1961 and is still a core text in English-language schools. It is also a mirror of American racial tension.
