Harper Lee (April 28, 1926 – February 19, 2016) was an American novelist best known for her only novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird." Published in 1960, the novel was an immediate success, winning the Pulitzer Prize the following year.
Set in the American South during the Jim Crow era, "To Kill a Mockingbird" tells the story of a young girl, Scout Finch, and her father, Atticus Finch, a righteous lawyer who defends a wrongly accused African-American man—a highly controversial act at the time. The novel explores themes of race, justice, compassion, and growing up with beautiful prose and insightful observations. It has touched countless readers and become a classic of American literature, translated into numerous languages, and widely read and studied globally.
Harper Lee was a very private and reclusive person, publishing only this one novel in her lifetime. Despite this, "To Kill a Mockingbird" remains incredibly influential, impacting not only American society's reflection on racial issues but also literary works and social movements worldwide. Her work has been repeatedly adapted into films, plays, and radio dramas, continuing to inspire the pursuit of justice and fairness. She refused most media interviews and avoided public attention as much as possible. Her life was relatively simple, but her work has left an indelible mark worldwide due to its profound social significance and literary value.
