( ) In spite of the horrifying racism that is woven throughout this book's point of view, I can't help but love this story. The book's main protagonists, Scarlett and Rhett, are both selfish, manipulative, and cruel, but I can't help but cheer them on, groan at their mistakes, and wish for them to wake up and become the better people they have the potential to be. I wanted a happily ever after for them all. Of course nobody gets a happily ever after in this book, not even the only truly likeable character, Melanie. Of course even Melanie's character has to be considered with the perspective of time and changing social mores. I can't help but cringe at the thought that even in the 1930's when this book was written, a compassionate and selfless woman of high moral character would consider the murder of a cheating wife to be justifiable homicide. I suppose that's why I've enjoyed this story every time I've read it. Each character is finely drawn, with their flaws and strengths on full display, and they always behave according to character. Yet your perception of each changes over the course of the book as they themselves learn and grow through their experiences during war, reconstruction, and with one another. Enjoyed how awful Scarlett could be. Had originally thought it would be more a romance in the 'boy-meets-girl' sense but it was more of a surviving the American Civil War story, found the plot interesting but also the writing was stunningly racist. Product of it's time for sure. Side note: watched the movie, and it was clear the Hayes' Code required some plot points to be left out.
The ultimate, original sweeping historical romance, it follows high-spirited Scarlett O’Hara, roguish Rhett Butler and romantic, infinitely good-looking Ashley Wilkes as the world that nurtured them is swept away in the cataclysm of the Civil War. The best novel to have come out of the South… it is unsurpassed in the whole of American writing Anyone who has not read it has missed one of the greatest literary experiences a reader can have. Mitchell carefully analyses the nature of human resilience, and holds up hopefulness as the critical tool for getting through the worst times… most of all, in the[se] bleak days . . . it is Scarlett’s belief that tomorrow will be better that feels endlessly and gleefully hopeful. After all, as she knows so well: "Tomorrow is another day." Gone With The Wind is a rich, complicated book . . . we can and should argue about a story that’s achieved such a hold on the American imagination Ingår i förlagsserienGallimard, Folio (54/66-740/741/742) Limited Editions Club (S:36.02) rororo (1027-1032) Ingår iInnehållerÅterberättas iHar en uppföljare som inte ingår i serienHar en prequel som inte ingår i serienHar bearbetningenParodieras iHar ett svar iInspireradeHar som referensvägledning/bredvidläsningsbokStuderas iHar som supplementHar som instuderingsbokPriserPrestigefyllda urvalUppmärksammade listor

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, Margaret Mitchell's great novel of the South is one of the most popular books ever written. Within six months of its publication in 1936, Gone With the Wind had sold a million copies. To date, it has been translated into 25 languages, and more than 28 million copies have been sold. Here are the characters that have become symbols of passion and desire: darkly handsome Rhett Butler and flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara. Behind them stand their gentler counterparts: Ashley Wilkes and Melanie Hamilton. As the lives and affairs of these absorbing characters play out against the tumult of the Civil War, Gone With the Wind reaches dramatic heights that have swept generations of fans off their feet. Having lived in Atlanta for many years, narrator Linda Stephens has an authentic ear for the dialects of that region. Get ready to hear Gone With the Wind exactly as it was written: every word beautifully captured in a spectacular unabridged audio production. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
