“To Kill a Mockingbird,” the only novel by Harper Lee, began her literary career in 1959. This novel was sufficient to earn the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2007 for her entire literary journey.

Additionally, it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and is considered a hallmark of modern American literature. The novel was adapted into a significant global film, winning an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor in a Leading Role.

This novel serves as a profound literary expression of racial discrimination in America at the start of the last century. However, the issue of racism occupies the second part of the novel, which begins with the narrator, the young girl "Scout," taking us to a distant time, showcasing her community and village, allowing us to rediscover the meaning of childhood through her sarcastic and sometimes bitter stories. Such poignant sarcasm is rare and requires an author to write relying on their soul and heart before talent and pen.

“Scout” lives with her father, the lawyer “Atticus,” the primary hero of the novel, and her older brother “Jem” in the town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the 1930s, where, despite different times, people and societies are similar.
