內容簡介
"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.
作者簡介
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年齣生於美國南方阿拉巴馬州的一個小鎮,父親是位律師,曾任州立法委員。哈波·李在當地的公立學校畢業後,進入阿拉巴馬大學學習法律,並曾作為交換學生到英國牛津大學學習一年。在還有六個月就要畢業的時候,她離開瞭學校,搬到紐約去追求自己的寫作夢想。她在紐約一邊做航空公司的訂票員,一邊寫作。後來受朋友和編輯的鼓勵,她返迴阿拉巴馬的傢鄉小鎮,以自己的童年生活片斷為基礎創作小說。代錶作是1960年發行的《殺死一隻知更鳥》。這本書直到現在都仍然很暢銷。40年來,盡管狗仔隊查到瞭她的住所——她跟她的姐姐阿麗絲一起住在美國阿拉巴馬州的門羅維爾市,但她從來沒有接受過訪問。她一直都是單身,也沒有子女。
她童年時的玩伴杜魯門·卡波特(與她一同閤作創作瞭《冷血》一書)所經曆過的坎坷——從名聲大噪、聚光燈下的明星、知名配偶、酒宴到吸毒、酗酒以至早年英逝——對於李來說,或許成瞭她不可抹殺的夢魘。
她給《奧普拉》雜誌寫瞭一封信,信中這樣寫道:“在一個盛産手提電腦、iPod和思想就像空蕩蕩的房子一樣的繁華社會裏,我依然與我的書本邁著緩慢的腳步前行。”
精彩書評
"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."
--Vogue

所述譚傢是個大宅院,巍峨的大門足有兩丈多高,其上蓋以碧瓦,在一溜十盞氣死風燈的映射下,看上去更是氣勢豪邁!門前有石階十數級,左右臥伏著一雙巨大的石獅子,正中是上馬石,沿著兩牆,種植著百株桃樹,此時桃花雖不會開放,卻可以想象到一旦桃花盛開時的瑰麗情景!這一切,足可見宅主譚某人的氣派,也可以想見其不同凡俗之一般。鬍先生平日一嚮不輕易顯露其身上武功的,隻見他拉扯著身上的長袍,小心翼翼地行過那片染有雪泥的爛泥巴路,最後踏上瞭直通大門的青石闆大道。夜風吹過來。這邊的鬆樹發齣悅耳的一片鬆濤,鬍先生機伶伶地打瞭個寒顫。這當口,他可不知道是不是眼花瞭,卻看見瞭一條飛快的人影,正由西麵那片遼闊的冰河上忽起忽落地嚮著這邊奔來。時值新春,河上的結冰已全溶解,昔日堅實得可以行走大車的河麵,現在變成微泛蕩漾的一片碧波——冰麵上行人不稀奇,可是水麵上行人就太稀罕瞭。這個人顯然不曾乘船,而是施展著令人觸目驚心的輕功上乘身法,可能是傳聞中的“八步淩波”身法!這種身法的運用,在於一氣嗬成,全憑一股自丹田提起的真氣,每八步換息一次,這類輕功多係在陸地施展的多,敢於在水麵上施展的卻是少之又少,因為必須八步一落,一腳踏不實在,可就有墜水覆身之危!鬍先生一望之下,頓時心中吃瞭一驚,他身子趕忙嚮身旁的柏樹後麵一倚,銳利的目光,緊緊逼嚮水麵上的那位不速之客。來客這身輕功,端的是令人震驚不已,不過是眨眼的工夫,已竄越過遼闊的冰河上麵,風掣電馳般來到瞭眼前!現在鬍先生可以十拿九
