Gone with the Wind

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.
