Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South—and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred.

"A first novel of such rare excellence that it will no doubt make a great many readers slow down to relish more fully its simple distinction... . A novel of strong contemporary national significance." —Chicago Tribune
