'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 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. --back cover

Autobiografiko samarra omen da, idazlea neskatila zenekoa. Ingeles berezia dago dialogoetan, AEBetako hegoaldekoa.

Beltzen esklabotzaren amaierako gizartea erakusten du nobelak. Gaur egun oraindik badago arrazismoa, baina liburua argitaratu zenean funtzio sendagarria izan omen zuen liburu honek, aurrera egiten lagundu omen zuen.

Gomendatzen dut irakurtzea. Eta ondoren, 1962ko zuri-beltzeko film zaharra ikustea ere bai, liburuan bezalaxe guztia!

Recensione de "Il buio oltre la siepe"

Romanzo per giovani adultǝ scorrevole e di forte impatto, ma capisco perché molti americani non apprezzino: vederselo obbligato come libro sul tema razzismo nelle scuole non mi sembra proprio il massimo, visto che se lo si analizza con minuzia cade talvolta nella narrativa del salvatore bianco.
