We are talking about one of the fundamental novels of American culture. The book about childhood in the expanses of the American south, the book about growing up and division came out just at the right time – at the culmination of the action in the struggle for the civil rights of the black population. And therefore, both the first and second books are perceived as a manifesto of equality, tolerance, the author is quickly awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the curriculum on literature is quickly rewritten. What is a tradition and a cornerstone of culture for an American, is incomprehensible for other nations; there was no racism in the history of many countries. But this book has a lot of advantages beyond the issues of political correctness, equality and brotherhood.
