Harper Lee

Originalmente fue escrito a mediados de la década de 1950, «Ve y pon un centinela» fue la novela que Harper Lee presentó por primera vez a sus editores antes de «Matar a un ruiseñor». Aparentemente el manuscrito se habia perdido, pero fue descubierto a fines de 2014. Harper Lee trae una nueva novela emblemática ambientada dos décadas después de la historia de la obra maestra ganadora del Pulitzer, Matar a un ruiseñor Maycomb, Alabama. A sus veintiséis años, Jean Louise Finch —«Scout»— vuelve a casa desde la ciudad de Nueva York para visitar su anciano padre, Atticus. En el contexto de las tensiones por los derechos civiles y de los disturbios políticos que estaban transformando el Sur, el regreso de Jean Louise a casa se torna agridulce cuando descubre verdades perturbadoras acerca de su querida y unida familia, de la ciudad y de las personas que más quiere. Los recuerdos de infancia la invaden y ve cuestionados sus valores y fundamentos. Con muchos de los personajes más sobresalientes de Matar a un ruiseñor, Ve y pon un centinela capta a la perfección la situación de una joven y un mundo inmersos en una transición dolorosa para dejar atrás las ilusiones del pasado, un viaje que únicamente puede ser guiado por la propia conciencia. Escrito a mediados de los años cincuenta, Ve y pon un centinela nos ayuda a entender y apreciar mejor a Harper Lee. Esta es una inolvidable novela de sabiduría, humanidad, pasión, humor y espontánea precisión, una obra de arte hondamente emotiva que evoca de una forma maravillosa otra época sin perder su plena relevancia para nuestros tiempos. No solo confirma la inmarchitable genialidad de Matar a un ruiseñor, sino que representa además un complemento esencial que añade profundidad, contexto y nuevo significado al clásico estadounidense.

Dispara a todos los grajos que quieras, si puedes acertarle, pero recuerda que es pecado matar a un ruiseñor. El consejo de un abogado a sus hijos mientras él defiende el verdadero ruiseñor de la novela clásica de Harper Lee —un hombre negro acusado de violar a una niña blanca. A través de los ojos de Jem y Scout Finch, Harper Lee explora con humor y honestidad inquebrantable la irracionalidad de la actitud de los adultos hacia la raza y la clase en las profundidades del sur en la década de 1930. La conciencia de una ciudad impregnada de prejuicios, violencia e hipocresía se enfrenta con la resistencia y heroísmo silencioso de la lucha de un hombre por la justicia, pero el peso de la historia no tolera más allá de su límite. Uno de los clásicos más queridos de todos los tiempos, Matar a un ruiseñor ha ganado muchas distinciones desde su publicación original en 1960. Ha ganado el Premio Pulitzer, ha sido traducido a más de cuarenta idiomas, vendió más de cuarenta millones de copias en todo el mundo, y se han convertido en una popular película. También se nombró como la mejor novela del siglo XX por los bibliotecarios de todo el país (Library Journal). Compasivo, dramático y muy emotivo, Matar a un ruiseñor en esta nueva y moderna traducción lleva a los lectores a las raíces de la conducta humana, a la inocencia y experiencia, a la bondad y crueldad, al amor y odio, humor y patetismo.

«Skyt så mange skjærer dere vil, men husk at det er en stor synd å drepe en sangfugl.» Dette er rådet sakfører Atticus Finch gir sine barn Scout og Jem mens han selv forsvarer en farget mann som er tiltalt for å ha voldtatt en hvit kvinne. Handlingen utspilles i en liten sørstatsby i 1930-årene, og voldsomme hendelser slår brutalt inn i de to barnas trygge liv - hendelser som gir dem et brått innblikk i de voksnes merkelige og fremmede verden. Gjennom barnas blikk skildrer forfatteren menneskers irrasjonelle holdninger til raser og klasseskiller med varme og nådeløs ærlighet. "Drep ikke en sangfugl" (1960) ble en bestselger over natten. I 1961 fikk forfatteren Pulitzer-prisen, og hun har også fått en rekke andre litterære priser og utmerkelser. Romanen er blitt en tidløs klassiker, den er oversatt til 40 språk og er solgt i over 30 millioner eksemplarer verden over. Dette er en modernisert utgave av den norske oversettelsen fra 1961.

Harper Leeltä odotettiin turhaan toista kirjaa yli 50 vuotta, kunnes kansainvälisen kustannusmaailman hämmästykseksi ja riemuksi kirjailijan arkistoista löytyi vuoden 2014 lopulla ennen julkaisematon romaanikäsikirjoitus Kaikki taivaan linnut. Kirjan amerikkalainen kustantaja HarperCollins on kertonut kesällä 2015 julkaistavan painoksensa määräksi kaksi miljoonaa. Vaikka Kaikki taivaan linnut kirjoitettiin ennen Pulizer-palkittua Kuin surmaisi satakielen -kirjaa, se jatkaa päähenkilö Scoutin tarinaa. Scout on nyt nuori nainen, joka matkustaa isänsä luo vanhaan kotikaupunkiinsa. Lapsuutensa maisemiin palaava Scout joutuu painiskelemaan niin henkilökohtaisten kuin poliittistenkin kysymysten parissa, joita yhteiskunta, suhde omaan isään ja alabamalainen pikkukaupunki herättävät. Harper Lee (s. 1926) syntyi ja kasvoi Alabamassa. Hän opiskeli lakia Alabaman yliopistossa ja muutti myöhemmin New Yorkiin. Esikoiskirja Kuin surmaisi satakielen julkaistiin vuonna 1960 ja se voitti Pulitzer-palkinnon vuonna 1961. Romaani kuuluu jokaisen amerikkalaiskoululaisen lukulistalle ja jokaisen kirjoja rakastavan kirjahyllyyn.

'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, 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 falsely 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 1930s. 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.
