About this item
En una ciudad del sur de los Estados Unidos, en la epoca de la Gran Depresion, una mujer blanca acusa de violacion a un hombre negro. Aunque la inocencia del hombre resulta evidente, el resultado del juicio es tan previsible que ningun abogado haria nada para evitarla... excepto Atticus Finch, el ciudadano mas respetable de la ciudad. Su compasiva defensa le cuesta muchas amistades, pero le otorga el respeto y la admiracion de sus dos hijos, huerfanos de madre. / This story follows three years in the life of eight-year-old Scout Finch, her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus. The three years are punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman. The result is a tough and tender novel of race, class, justice, and the pain of growing up, all through the eyes of a young girl.
