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 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.

Ne tirez pas sur l'oiseau moqueur
Lee HarperDans une petite ville d'Alabama, au moment de la Grande Dépression, Atticus Finch élève seul ses deux enfants, Jem et Scout. Homme intègre et rigoureux, cet avocat est commis d'office pour défendre un Noir accusé d'avoir violé une Blanche. Ce bref résumé peut expliquer pourquoi ce livre, publié en 1960 - au c?ur de la lutte pour les droits civiques -, connut un tel succès. Il ne suffit pas en revanche à comprendre comment ce roman est devenu un livre culte aux Etats-Unis et dans bien d'autres pays. C'est que, tout en situant son sujet en Alabama à une époque bien précise - les années 1930 -, Harper Lee a écrit un roman universel sur l'enfance confrontée aux préjugés, au mensonge, à la bigoterie et au mal. Racontée par Scout avec beaucoup de drôlerie, cette histoire tient du conte, de la court story américaine et du roman initiatique. Couronné par le Prix Pulitzer en 1961, Ne tirez pas sur l'oiseau moqueur s'est vendu à plus de 30 millions d'exemplaires dans le monde entier.EN STOCKCOMMANDER10,15 € -

Va et poste une sentinelle
Lee Harper ; Demarty PierreRésumé : Jean Louise Finch, dite "Scout", l'inoubliable héroïne de Ne tirez pas sur l'oiseau-moqueur, est de retour dans sa petite ville natale de l'Alabama, Maycomb, pour rendre visite à son père Atticus. Vingt ans ont passé. Nous sommes au milieu des années 1950, à l'aube de la déségrégation, et la nation se déchire autour des questions raciales. Confrontée à la société qui l'a façonnée mais dont elle s'est éloignée en partant s'établir à New York, Jean Louise va découvrir ses proches sous un jour inédit et voir vaciller toutes les fondations de son existence, politiques, sociales et familiales. Va et poste une sentinelle est le deuxième roman de Harper Lee, mais fut écrit avant le mythique Ne tirez pas sur l'oiseau-moqueur, qui reçut le Prix Pulitzer en 1961. Dernier volet de ce qui devait être au départ une trilogie romanesque dont l'Oiseau-moqueur aurait été le premier tome, ce roman inédit marque le retour, après soixante-cinq ans de silence, de l'un des plus grands auteurs américains du siècle.Sur commande, 2 à 4 joursCOMMANDER10,50 €
