I was just a dreamy little southern girl waiting for my prince charming...haha. I don't remember all the fine details of this book, but I do remember reading it while sunning and floating on a raft down Cow Bayou. Those were the days! It will take a few chapters for you to start rolling with the negro dialect, which was heavily used throughout this humongous book, but you'll get it and really start to enjoy the story. The movie? Sorry! I thought it completely sucked. A true classic work of American literature. I’m glad I was finally able to finish this as an adult. The first two times I tried I was in middle school and I know I would not have the appreciation for this as I do now. The characters are wonderful cast. I know many have a certain view on this novel and the events of the civil war. Personally, I see a painting of a way of life that was forever changed, and I’m not referring to slavery. The way of life in the South. The ladies and their gentlemen. The almost laid back life of the South. Then came the arrogance of both the South and North and the breakout of war over points of view. We see what war, especially civil war can do to a nation, a people. We see the struggles of the losers as they try to right their upturned world however they can. As we see with Ashley, not all can. Then those like Scarlett and Rhett have the grit and determination to stand back on their feet. Then sweet, constant and loyal Melanie. The constant thread between our cast. While I admire Scarlett, there were several moments that I pitied her as well as disliked her. Rhett is by far my fave as he is a straight shooter and has no problems calling things as they are yet still has his own code of honor. This is a novel I will definitely revisit over time.
An old fashioned, romantic narrative with no Joycean or Proustian nonsense about it, the novel is written in a methodical style which fastidious readers may find wearying. But so carefully does Author Mitchell build up her central character of Scarlett O'Hara, and her picture of the times in which that wild woman struggled, that artistic lapses seem scarcely more consequential than Scarlett's many falls from grace. This is beyond a doubt one of the most remarkable first novels produced by an American writer. It is also one of the best. The historical background is the chief virtue of the book, and it is the story of the times rather than the unconvincing and somewhat absurd plot that gives Miss Mitchell's work whatever importance may be attached to it.

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. |
