Shortly thereafter, the book won the Pulitzer Prize and is now known as one of the greatest books ever written, selling over 30 million copies in 18 languages. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe immediate fame the book achieved came as a shock to Lee, who never relished being in the spotlight.  Much of Lee's novel is drawn from real events from her childhood in Monroeville, Alabama, during the Great Depression. As such, the racial and moral undertones of the book provide a very realistic portrait of southern life in the 1930s.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book's hero, Atticus Finch, is lauded as one of the great fictional moralists  – a man who not only fought racial injustice, but defended his family through it all refused to compromise any of his values or integrity.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, To Kill a Mockingbird is among the most commonly assigned books in high school English classes and seldom raises concerns over the controversial subjects it addresses. It has, to this day, never been out of print and has remained Harper Lee's one and only novel.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBOOK EXCERPT  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Introduction by Zachary Crockett:  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow “To Kill A Mockingbird” Encouraged My Musical Career  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first time I read Harper Lee's masterpiece, I was a naive, bright-eyed high school freshman intent on ignoring any type of school-related summer assignment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstead, I preferred to lose myself in small creative worlds: I acted, painted, and went for long runs through the rolling hills of Woodside, California. The last thing I wanted to do was open the cover of my mom's old, musty copy of To Kill a Mockingbird. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut summer soon drew to a close, and I, along with the rest of the incoming class, had to accept my fate and begin to tackle the long list of books I was required to read.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd read I did: a half-day later, I found myself midway through the book, and the following day, I read through it's final passage, wishing that the book, along with that summer, would never end.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...To be continued!  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuicklets: Your Reading Sidekick!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER OUTLINE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow “To Kill a Mockingbird” Encouraged My Musical Career\u003cbr\u003eBackground Information for “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee\u003cbr\u003eOverall Summary for “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee\u003cbr\u003eImportant Characters in “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee\u003cbr\u003e...and much more\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional Reading\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRelated Online Content for “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee\u003cbr\u003eTrivia for “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee","brand":"Hyperink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070310793456,"sku":"2940013782716","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013782716_p0.jpg?v=1763590183","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013782716","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
