“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 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.
“你可以射杀那些冠蓝鸦，如果你能射中，但是切记，杀死那些知更鸟是有罪的。”
这是一个律师在为哈珀·李的经典之作的真正知更鸟——一个被指控强奸白人女孩的黑人——辩护时，给他的孩子的建议。哈珀从斯格特和杰姆的视角，对上个世纪三十年代美国南方腹地成人对种族和阶级的荒唐观点进行了描述，文笔幽默诙谐。书中的小镇充满偏见、暴力和虚伪，我们的主人翁在追求正义的过程中不断与之斗争。然而历史早已注定了结局。
《杀死一只知更鸟》是一部成长小说，反种族主义小说，是关于经济大萧条的历史剧作，也是美国南方作品的代表作品。
