_________________A landmark new novel from Harper Lee, set two decades after her beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece To Kill a Mockingbird. Maycomb, Alabama.

Det har blivit femtiotal i småstaden Maycomb i Alabama. Den nu vuxna Jean Louise Finch – eller Scout som hon kallas – återvänder hem från New York för att besöka sin far, Atticus. Scout blir tvungen att brottas med såväl personliga som politiska frågor medan hon försöker förstå sin fars syn på samhället, liksom sina egna känslor inför platsen där hon växte upp.Ställ ut en väktare är Harper Lees första roman på över femtio år och den andra någonsin som ges ut. Den skrevs innan Dödssynden (To Kill a Mockingbird), men utspelar sig kronologiskt sett efter händelserna i debutboken. Lee trodde själv att manuset hade gått förlorat, tills det återfanns förra året. Ställ ut en väktare är en tankeväckande roman skriven i en turbulent tid, som kastar nytt ljus över en av den moderna litteraturens klassiker.

Originalmente fue escrito a mediados de la década de 1950, «Ve y pon un centinela» fue la novela que Harper Lee presentó por primera vez a sus editores antes de «Matar a un ruiseñor». Aparentemente el manuscrito se habia perdido, pero fue descubierto a fines de 2014. Harper Lee trae una nueva novela emblemática ambientada dos décadas después de la historia de la obra maestra ganadora del Pulitzer, Matar a un ruiseñor Maycomb, Alabama. A sus veintiséis años, Jean Louise Finch —«Scout»— vuelve a casa desde la ciudad de Nueva York para visitar su anciano padre, Atticus. En el contexto de las tensiones por los derechos civiles y de los disturbios políticos que estaban transformando el Sur, el regreso de Jean Louise a casa se torna agridulce cuando descubre verdades perturbadoras acerca de su querida y unida familia, de la ciudad y de las personas que más quiere. Los recuerdos de infancia la invaden y ve cuestionados sus valores y fundamentos. Con muchos de los personajes más sobresalientes de Matar a un ruiseñor, Ve y pon un centinela capta a la perfección la situación de una joven y un mundo inmersos en una transición dolorosa para dejar atrás las ilusiones del pasado, un viaje que únicamente puede ser guiado por la propia conciencia. Escrito a mediados de los años cincuenta, Ve y pon un centinela nos ayuda a entender y apreciar mejor a Harper Lee.
