页数：288Go Set a Watchman《设立守望者》是哈珀·李自《杀死一只知更鸟》后，时隔半个世纪出版的个人第二部小说。《设立守望者》是《杀死一只知更鸟》的续集，但书稿的完成实际在《杀死一只知更鸟》之前，却直到2014年秋天才被大家发现。哈珀·李说：“在上世纪五十年代中期，我完成了一部名为《设立守望者》的小说，该书描述了女主人公斯库特作为一名成年女性的故事。但我的编辑却被斯库特儿时的故事打动，说服我去写斯库特小时候的故事，也就是后来大家所熟知的《杀死一只知更鸟》。”这本书上架刚一周，北美的销量已逾越110万册，同时迅速登上了热卖图书榜，所以，各位钟爱《杀死一只知更鸟》的读者，千万不要错过这部新鲜“续作”！本书适合中学及以上的英语学习者、美国文学爱好者阅读。 推荐理由： 1.普利策小说奖作品《杀死一只知更鸟》续集，不可不看； 2.来自哈珀·李的原始手稿，并无改编，原汁原味； 3.小说选用第三人称叙述，采用倒叙的手法，透过一个孩子天真的眼睛来讲述故事，实际上也继承了《杀死一只知更鸟》的智慧所在，令人回味无穷； 4.与《杀死一只知更鸟》相比，虽然人物性格出现大反转，但其对种族偏见的研究甚是细致入微，是一本值得细读的好书！

From Harper Lee comes a landmark new novel set two decades after her beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird. Written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman imparts a fuller, richer under- standing and appreciation of Harper Lee. Here is an unforgettable novel of wisdom, humanity, passion, humor, and effortless precision—a profoundly affecting work of art that is both wonderfully evocative of another era and relevant to our own times. It not only confirms the enduring brilliance ofTo Kill a Mockingbird, but also serves as its essential companion, adding depth, context, and new meaning to an American classic. Critical Praise： “Go Set a Watchmanis such an important book, perhaps the most important novel on race to come out of the white South in decades.”—Clay Risen,New YorkTimes “Harper Lee’s second novel sheds more light on our world than its predecessor did.”—Time “Provides valuable insight into the generous, complex mind of one of America’s most important authors.”—USAToday “Watchmanis compelling in its timeliness.” —WashingtonPost “[Go Set a Watchman] contains the familiar pleasures of Ms. Lee’s writing - the easy, drawling rhythms, the flashes of insouciant humor, the love of anecdote.” —Wall Street Journal) “… the voice we came to know so well in To Kill a Mockingbird - funny, ornery, rulebreaking - is right here inGo Set a Watchman, too, as exasperating and captivating as ever.” —Chicago Tribune故事仍然发生在美国阿拉巴马州的梅岗镇，时间是上世纪50年代中期，20年后长大成人的斯科特乘火车从纽约回到故乡看望父亲，却惊讶地发现，一向反对种族歧视的律师父亲成为了反对平等投票权的公众集会上的常客，这让斯科特感到恐惧和困惑，在试图理解父亲的社会价值观的同时，她也在个人和政治问题中挣扎……

Maycomb, Alabama. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch—“Scout”—returns home from New York City to visit her aging father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise’s homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town, and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back, and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt. Featuring many of the iconic characters from To Kill a Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a world, in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past—a journey that can only be guided by one’s own conscience.
