To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is one of the most powerful and enduring novels of the twentieth century. Set in the Deep South during the Great Depression, this timeless classic explores justice, race, class, and moral courage through the innocent yet perceptive eyes of young Scout Finch.

Scout’s father, Atticus Finch, is a principled lawyer defending a Black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. As the trial unfolds, Scout and her brother Jem witness the harsh realities of prejudice, hypocrisy, and violence embedded in their community. Against this backdrop, the novel becomes both a coming-of-age story and a profound examination of empathy and conscience.

With unforgettable characters, lyrical prose, and a deeply human message, To Kill a Mockingbird remains a landmark anti-racist novel, a moving historical portrait of America, and a cornerstone of Southern literature.
