Gone with the Wind

Autor Margaret Mitchell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 ian 2020
'My dear, I don't give a damn.'
Margaret Mitchell's page-turning, sweeping American epic has been a classic for over eighty years. Beloved and thought by many to be the greatest of the American novels, Gone with the Wind is a story of love, hope and loss set against the tense historical background of the American Civil War.
The lovers at the novel's centre - the selfish, privileged Scarlett O'Hara and rakish Rhett Butler - are magnetic: pulling readers into the tangled narrative of a struggle to survive that cannot be forgotten.

'What makes some people come through catastrophes and others, apparently just as able, strong, and brave, go under?' Margaret Mitchell

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The pampered daughter of a wealthy Georgian plantation owner of Irish descent,
sixteen-year-old Scarlett O'Hara soon realizes that young men can't resist her
charms, despite her forthright manners and her refusal to embrace her mother's
ladylike ways. Her romantic intrigues lead her to an early marriage, but when the
war between the Union and the Southern States breaks out and she is left a young
widow, Scarlett's life is turned upside down, and she finds herself embroiled,
together with the world surrounding her, in a long struggle for survival.
Both a coming-of-age tale and a historical epic, Gone with the Wind is regarded as
one of the great American novels, and is perhaps one of the most popular stories in
the Western canon. Famously inspiring the iconic 1939 Oscar-winning film starring
Vivien Leigh as Scarlett and Clark Gable as the rakish but cynical Rhett Butler, it is
Margaret Mitchell's only published novel, and a living testament to the irrepressible
resilience of the American spirit.
