First Polish edition

The 1930s, a small town in the southern United States. Atticus Finch, a lawyer and head of a family, defends a young black man accused of raping a poor white girl Mayella Ewell. A simple court case, due to pervasive racism, rises to prominence. In the daily struggle for black equality, the question of where the boundaries of human tolerance lie recurs like an echo. To Kill a Mockingbird is a harrowing story about childhood and a crisis of conscience. The moving story appeals to what is most precious about human life: love, compassion and kindness.
