" The greatest love story of our time, the story of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler...Margaret Mitchell's monumental epic of the South won a Pulitzer Prize gave rise to the most popular motion picture of our time, and inspired a sequal that became the fastest selling novel of the century. It is one of the most popular books ever written; more than 28 million copies of the book have been sold in more than 37 countries. Today, more than 60 years after its initial publication, its achievements are unparalleled, and it remains the most revered American saga and the most beloved work by an American writer..."
Gone With The Wind is 1037 pages long and was published in 1936. It is Set in Victorian times and enchants us with some of the most pleasent parts of that era; the fashions, the parties, all while facing the harsh realities of the Civil War. The splendor of the Victorian age in the south, though ravished by war, still placed importance on 'civic concience and sociol responsability' which is an important part to the book, by way of Scarlett's trying to be accepted, and Rhett's rebuking it. The Book truly brings out the Best and Worst of this lovely era |
