A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of this enchanting classic - 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...

读后感

这是美国学生大概相当于初中时期所要阅读的作品。说实话，对我来说还有点难度，因为书中有大量的非书面词汇，许多词汇还有美国南方的色彩。好歹是读完了，顺便也把电影给看了。电影大体上是忠于原著的，只是电影中的Atticus粗壮高大，这与书中那个衰老瘦削甚至有点虚弱，但是浑...

Overrated?

第五本原版 朋友推荐的一本原版，之前早就听说是法律界的经典，所以毫不犹豫的在亚马孙下单。 要承认这是我看完的原版书里难度最高的。最影响我读书体验的还是那些人名和地名。看到英文名字就会经常乱并且没有画面感。这样就不能边读边像放电影一样想象着印象更深。在勉强读完第七章后找来了翻译版顺理了人物关系和地名才继续读。 应该是英文水平制约阅读体验，唯有两段法庭辩护给我留下深刻印象，其它并无太大波澜。

孩子的视角看种族歧视，有些道理并非天经地义 只不过我们习以为常的东西就会想当然认为是对的 这也是一种悲哀
