Celebrating an American masterpiece…
When it was published on July 11, 1960, no one expected the debut novel by an unknown writer named Harper Lee to sell more than a few thousand copies. As Lee later recalled,“I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of the reviewers.”
What happened is history. To Kill a Mockingbird proved a huge bestseller, won the Pulitzer Prize, and was turned into one of Hollywood's most beloved films – and that was just the start. Today, Harper Lee's tale of courage in the face of racial prejudice is the most widely read and beloved 20th century American novel.
Now Easton Press and the editors of LIFE Magazine present an illustrated tribute to the late Harper Lee and her masterpiece: The Enduring Power of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, a Collector Edition bound in leather and accented with 22kt gold.
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.”
Drawing on the incomparable archives of LIFE Magazine, this fascinating volume chronicles the To Kill a Mockingbird phenomenon from its roots in Harper Lee's experience growing up the daughter of a country lawyer in Monroeville, Alabama through the 2015 blockbuster publication of Lee's second novel, Go Tell a Watchman.
Insightful articles examine the real life events that inspired Lee's story, as well as the book's relationship with the Civil Rights movement and today's debates over racial justice. Readers will also go behind the scenes of the legendary 1962 movie in which Gregory Peck made Lee's lawyer Atticus Finch one of the greatest movie heroes of all time.
Most of all, these pages explore how the story of a child's moral awakening to racial, class, and gender prejudice and the true meaning of courage has proven so inspiring that even after six decades it continues to sell a million copies a year and top readers' polls of the most important books of all time.
Illustrated with hundreds of glorious full-color and black&white photographs and artifacts, The Enduring Power of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is an unmatched tribute and companion to a great American novel.
