内容简介
"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit them, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel--a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.
作者简介
Harper Lee (born April 28, 1926) is an American author known for her 1961 Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird, which deals with the issues of racism that the author observed as a child in her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama. Despite being Lee's only published book, it led to her being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature. Lee has received numerous honorary degrees but has always declined to make a speech. Other significant contributions include assisting her close friend Truman Capote in his research for the book In Cold Blood.
哈珀·李,1926年出生于美国南方阿拉巴马州的一个小镇,父亲是位律师,曾任州立法委员。哈波·李在当地的公立学校毕业后,进入阿拉巴马大学学习法律,并曾作为交换学生到英国牛津大学学习一年。在还有六个月就要毕业的时候,她离开了学校,搬到纽约去追求自己的写作梦想。她在纽约一边做航空公司的订票员,一边写作。后来受朋友和编辑的鼓励,她返回阿拉巴马的家乡小镇,以自己的童年生活片断为基础创作小说。代表作是1960年发行的《杀死一只知更鸟》。这本书直到现在都仍然很畅销。40年来,尽管狗仔队查到了她的住所——她跟她的姐姐阿丽丝一起住在美国阿拉巴马州的门罗维尔市,但她从来没有接受过访问。她一直都是单身,也没有子女。
她童年时的玩伴杜鲁门·卡波特(与她一同合作创作了《冷血》一书)所经历过的坎坷——从名声大噪、聚光灯下的明星、知名配偶、酒宴到吸毒、酗酒以至早年英逝——对于李来说,或许成了她不可抹杀的梦魇。
她给《奥普拉》杂志写了一封信,信中这样写道:“在一个盛产手提电脑、iPod和思想就像空荡荡的房子一样的繁华社会里,我依然与我的书本迈着缓慢的脚步前行。”
精彩书评
"A first novel of such rare excellence that it will no doubt make a great many readers slow down to relish more fully its simple distinction...A novel of strong contemporary national significance."
--Chicago Tribune
"All of the tactile brilliance and none of the precocity generally supposed to be standard swamp-warfare issues for Southern writers...Novelist Lee's prose has an edge that cuts through cant, and she teaches the reader an astonishing number of use truths about little girls and about Southern life...Scout Finch is fiction's most pealing child since Carson McCullers's Frankie got left behind at the wedding."
--Time
"That rare literary phenomenon, a Southern novel with no mildew on its magnolia leaves. Funny, happy and written with unspectacular precision, To Kill a Mockingbird is about conscience--how it is instilled in two children, Scout and Jem Finch; how it operates in their father, Atticus a lawyer appointed to defend a Negro on a rape charge, and how conscience crows in their small Alabama town."

当一本书脱离了时代,也能有其自身的生命力和多重被解读性的话,便会生出种种遭遇来。本书也经常被人滑稽地“利用”,并见诸报章之上。调查克林顿绯闻的独立检察官斯塔尔曾发表演说,自比阿蒂克斯·芬奇律师,而希拉里的回忆录《亲历历史》中,也特意指出“芬奇律师展现的是道德勇气,而斯塔尔却是滥用权力”。希拉里咬牙切齿道:“如此相比令人难以忍受。”后来又传出消息说,成为美军阶下囚的萨达姆最爱读的就是本书,这是他的律师送给他的,据说萨达姆“喜欢为冤屈者伸张正义的主人公”。

《杀死一只知更鸟》属于那种比较老式的电影,影片有一种让人难以想象的真实感。影片中充满了对过去那种时代的缅怀之情,我们甚至能从电影中感受到那个时代的勇气与怀疑。一方面充满了浪漫主义色彩,另一方面又深受当时现实主义的影响,宛若一丝光明穿越黑暗的森林引领我们去寻找真理。影片根据哈伯。李的同名小说改编而成,格里高利。派克电影生涯中最具代表的作品之一。《杀死一只知更鸟》是好莱坞60年代初自由主义的先声。当时正值美国国内黑人与白人矛盾冲突激化之际,电影虽然说的是经济大萧条时的事情,其实正是影射当时国内的现状。
