Gone with the Wind

By Margaret Mitchell.

Description:

Since its original publication in 1936, Gone With the Wind – winner of the Pulitzer Prize and one of the bestselling novels of all time – has been heralded by readers everywhere as The Great American Novel.

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

This is the tale of Scarlett O’Hara, the spoiled, manipulative daughter of a wealthy plantation owner, who arrives at young womanhood just in time to see the Civil War forever change her way of life. A sweeping story of tangled passion and courage, in the pages of Gone With the Wind, Margaret Mitchell brings to life the unforgettable characters that have captivated readers for decades.

Widely considered an American classic, and often remembered for its epic film version, Gone With the Wind explores the depth of human passions with an intensity as bold as its setting in the red hills of Georgia. A superb piece of storytelling, it vividly depicts the drama of the Civil War and Reconstruction.

“Beyond a doubt one of the most remarkable first novels produced by an American writer. It is also one of the best.” – The New York Times.

“The best novel to have ever come out of the South...it is unsurpassed in the whole of American writing.” – The Washington Post.

“Fascinating and unforgettable! A remarkable book, a spectacular book, a book that will not be forgotten!” – Chicago Tribune.
