Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Harper Lee
Harper Lee nació en Monroeville (Alabama, EE UU), en 1926. En 1931, un conflicto racista acontecido en la localidad vecina de Scottsboro conmocionó a la sociedad estadounidense. Lee, testigo indirecto de los hechos, se inspiró en este suceso para escribir su primera y única novela conocida hasta 2015, Matar a un ruiseñor, convertida hoy en un clásico de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX. Amiga personal de Truman Capote, Lee decidió retirarse del mundanal ruido cuando alcanzó la fama. En 2007 recibió la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad de Estados Unidos por su carrera literaria. Premio Pulitzer en 1961, un año después el director Robert Mulligan la llevó a la pantalla en una inolvidable película que obtuvo dos Oscar de la Academia: al mejor guion (Horton Foote) y al mejor intérprete masculino (Gregory Peck). En 2015 se ha reencontrado la novela Go Set a Watchman (Ve y pon un centinela), rechazada por sus editores en su momento y una de cuyas tramas secundarias es la que dio origen a Matar a un ruiseñor.
