A classic southern US

What a wonderful book! Growing up in a small town in Alabama during the Great Depression is not a sinecure. This is Scout, a girl of nine years who is the narrator of this novel. She and Jem are the children of Atticus, a respected lawyer of the small community as it is a good and upright man. But when the local judge will assign automatically defend a black man accused of raping a young white woman, much of the small town of Maycomb be against him. The children then discover the inherent racial hatred south when they are insulted in school. They will witness the trial and childish sense of justice emerge deeply wounded. It is true that a few months, they will have discovered the injustice (under the guise of justice, so the worse), baseless hatred, hypocrisy, class segregation and finally violence. But beware, this is not a desperate book, far from it, because children have also met men and women of value, even those who, against all odds are that barbarism and stupidity recede slightly little.
