Set in the small Southern town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Depression, this story follows three years in the life of eight-year-old Scout Finch, her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus. The three years are punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman. The result is a tough and tender novel of race, class, justice, and the pain of growing up, all through the eyes of a young girl. Robert Mulligan directed the film adaptation, which won an Oscar for best script (Horton Foote) and best actor (Gregory Peck).

Being a Spaniard I learned much about the South and their customs. This is a piece of writing that every body should read around the world.

This review is from: Matar Un Ruisenor / To Kill a Mockingbird (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
To kill a Mockingbird has been one of my favorite books since childhood, so now that I'm a mother I wanted to pass it on to my daughter. Being my native language spanish, my husband and I agreed on making our children biligual, so we read to them in both languages...it was a very nice surprise to find this book translated to spanish and to find also that it hasn't lost as much as other translated books, the words and the sense of the phrases are translated as exact as possible to the original novel which makes the reading very worthy. The size of the book makes it really convenient and the price of it too.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Matar un ruisenor (Paperback)
I read this in high school and loved it. I pretty much cried when it was over. I wanted to share it with my mother, who prefers to read things in her native Spanish rather than English. A week after I gave it to her, I asked how it was going and she had already finished it. She loved it! I ended up reading a couple of chapters, and have to say that the translations are quite good.
