Dans ce livre, Harper Lee nous emmène aux Etats Unis à la fin des années 30, où les préjugés raciaux sont nombreux.
Cette histoire fascinante est racontée par une fillette de moins de dix ans, Scout Finch. Scout a ses jeux d'enfants, aime faire les m�mes choses que son grand frère Jem et admire son papa Atticus. Aussi, quand les enfants du village commence à insulter ce dernier, elle le vit très difficilement. Atticus Finch a la lourde t�che de défendre un Noir, accusé du viol d'une jeune fille blanche. Scout essaie de comprendre, grappille les informations autour d'elle, et nous donne une interprétation bouleversante du monde qui l'entoure et de ses injustices.
Harper Lee réussit la prouesse de décrire avec humour et tendresse une histoire finalement terriblement dramatique. Sa fine plume nous fait passer du rire aux larmes en un clin d'�il, avec des mots d'enfants...Ce livre est à lire et à relire, par tous, à tout �ge!

Harper Lee was encouraged to write some of her childhood memories. What in the beginning seems like the story of three childhood friends in depression era Macomb, Alabama, turns out to be packed with insights to the makeup of human kind.

This story is intriguing on many levels from the history of the area to the stereotyping of people. Most of all every turn was a surprise as told in the first person from the view of Scout Finch. And instead of telling the story in a six year old vocabulary she uses an exceptionally large repertoire to describe the people and events. This story is not as slow passed as one may guess from first glance as every remark and every action will be needed for a future action.

A major controversial part of the story is the trial of Tom Robinson. Hoverer this is just a catalyst to help Scout understand the nature of people including her father Atticus and you will find that as important as it is it is just a part of the story with other major characters such as Arthur "Boo" Radley.

Even thought it appears that Scout is the recipient of the insights, I believe we the reader is the real recipient.

I can truly say that this book has changed my outlook in life.

What can be said about a book that covers so many bases? To Kill a Mockingbird is the tale of two children, Jem and Scout growing up in a rural Georgia town. Their father, Atticus Finch, is a kind, just socially responsible man who takes on a case in which a black man is accused of raping a poor white girl. Since the book is set in the south in the 1930's, the defending of a black man against a white woman is unheard of, but Atticus takes the case pro bono because of every man's unalienable rights, and because of the fact that his defendant is not guilty, a fact which is hushed up and covered over by bigotry and hate in this small southern town. The novel makes a stand on basic human rights while covering so much other territory. The antics of Jem and Scout perfectly capture what it is like to be a child during the summer, despite the fact that these summers take place in the charged atmosphere of a racist southern town where both Jem and Scout are forced to do some growing up. The mysterious character of Boo Radley points out once again that a person's appearance and reputation mean nothing when it comes to their character. There is so much packed into this one little novel that it the one-hundredth reading would still be a fresh as the first. Every scene, from Scout's first day at school to the night outside the city jail where a lynch mob threatens Atticus and his client are drawn with amazing skill and beauty. This book is an American treasure and Atticus Finch is one of the greatest characters ever to appear in literature. The only real question this book leaves you with is why didn't Harper Lee ever take up his pen to create another novel?
