Abstract
The greatest love story of all time!
The epic saga “Gone with the Wind” tells the story of Scarlett O’Hara, the daughter of a wealthy planter, and her hardships during the American Civil War.
Pretty beauty Scarlett, a spoiled princess of the old South, falls in love with the dreamy, romantically gallant Ashley Wilkes. But charming scoundrel Rhett Butler is bewitched by her…
Scarlett is confused by the clash between her sentimental longing for the cool Southern gentleman Ashley and her unconscious attraction to the gregarious Rhett. The most dramatic battle in Gone with the Wind is not between North and South, but between Scarlett’s passion and her vanity.
The novel, first published in May 1936, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. More than 155 more editions followed worldwide, selling nearly 30 million copies. In 1939 the novel was made into a hugely popular film of the same name starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable.
