Product Description:
Margaret Mitchell's epic novel of love and war won the Pulitzer Prize and went on to give rise to two authorized sequels and one of the most popular and celebrated movies of all time.
Many novels have been written about the Civil War and its aftermath. None take us into the burning fields and cities of the American South as Gone With the Wind does, creating haunting scenes and thrilling portraits of characters so vivid that we remember their words and feel their fear and hunger for the rest of our lives.
In the two main characters, the white-shouldered, irresistible Scarlett and the flashy, contemptuous Rhett, Margaret Mitchell not only conveyed a timeless story of survival under the harshest of circumstances, she also created two of the most famous lovers in the English-speaking world since Romeo and Juliet.

This book is definitely worth the read. Although long, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell has a lot going on in it. Mitchell develops the characters so well that you can almost see them. It is also great for history. This is because I always learned about the civil war through the northerners eyes. In this book you see it all through the eyes of a southerner. As the story progresses you build up more and more grudges against Scarlet, who is not your best friend. Scarlet is rude and takes on ... Read More

Margaret Mitchell's requiem of the South succeeds to embrace both the reader and her topic because of the tremendous blend of themes which resound throughout this masterful novel.
First, she introduces us to the concept of peace versus war: "All wars are sacred, to those who have to fight them. If the people who started them did not make wars sacred, who would be foolish enough to fight?" And, of course business pragmatist Rhett Butler concludes, "All wars are in realty money squabbles. ...

First of all, Gone With the Wind is my favorite book ever. But this edition was not well done. Although the little red one I have read countless times smears newspaper-like smudges all over me, at least it had all the pages. That's right, my version was missing a page. It had the wrong page there instead, so I had to go look at my other version. Plus it had a few typos. This made me sad, as I had such high hopes for this version.

One of the best novels I've ever read. Margaret Mitchell has a way of bringing the reader into a tumulus period in the United States history. Near 1000 pages but easy to read and informative to what Southerners went through. Should be required reading in high schools of the U.
S.

This book is wonderful! In history classes we always heard the Civil War from the North's perspective but this book gives us a glimpse into the South's feelings and the changes undergone there. But my favorite part about this book is the descriptions, the plot, the well-developed characters, the language of the times, and especially Scarlett herself. You won't be sorry you read it!
