The novel was discharged on July 14, 55 years after the creator's just other distributed work, "To Slaughter a Mockingbird," an excellent story of racial foul play in the American South.
"Gatekeeper," written in the 1950s, was a first draft of "Mockingbird" with a considerable lot of the same characters. It stood out as truly newsworthy with its portrayal of respectable legal counselor Atticus Finch as a supremacist and extremist, a glaring difference to the optimistic, more youthful Finch of "Mockingbird" who put his standards at stake to guard a dark man wrongly blamed for assaulting a white lady.
HarperCollins, a unit of News Corp, said on Monday it had requested reprints a few times and now has a North American print keep running for "Guard" of more than 3.3 million. It didn't give deals figures or print keeps running for whatever remains of the world.
"To begin with week offers of 'Go Set a Guardian' have far surpassed our desires," Brian Murray, president and Chief of HarperCollins Distributers said in an announcement. "We are excited to see perusers reacting to this memorable new work from a famous creator like Harper Lee."
Lee, now 89, withdrew from open life not long after the achievement of "Mockingbird" and the 1962 Oscar-winning film form featuring Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch.
