Sinossi
Rossella O'Hara è la viziata e capricciosa ereditiera della grande piantagione di Tara, in Georgia. Ma l'illusione di una vita facile e agiata si infrangerà in brevissimo tempo, quando i venti della guerra civile cominceranno a spirare sul sud degli Stati Uniti, spazzando via in pochi anni la società schiavista. Il più grande e famoso romanzo popolare americano narra così, in un colossale e vivissimo affresco storico, le vicende di una donna impreparata ai sacrifici: la tragedia della guerra, la decimazione della sua famiglia, la necessità di dover farsi carico della piantagione di famiglia e di doversi adattare a una nuova società. E soprattutto la sua lunga, travagliata ricerca dell'amore e la storia impossibile con l'affascinante e spregiudicato Rhett Butler, avventuriero che lei comprenderà di amare solo troppo tardi...

Margaret Mitchell was a racist and in 1936, 70 years after the Civil War, she wrote a thousand-page love letter to racism. If you'd like to hear why slavery was terrific and black people are inferior to whites and they liked being slaves, here is your epic. If that sounds unpleasant, you won't like
Another epic story complete! This was a very good one! I have read a few huge books in my life. Some are a struggle to get through and others are so captivating they read easier than a 300 page novel. Gone With The Wind falls in the "captivating" category. At no point was I bored with the story or wo Leggi tutto
I honestly do not know whether to give this book 5 stars for being one of the most completely engrossing, shocking, and emotionally absorbing pieces of literature ever written, or to give it 0 stars for being the most tragic, unendingly upsetting, disturbing book I've ever read. I read the last 50 p Leggi tutto
“Now, Puss, tell me true, do you understand his folderol about books and poetry and music and oil paintings and such foolishness?” “Oh, Pa,” cried Scarlett impatiently, “if I married him, I’d change all that!” When I was a teenager, my goal in life was to be Scarlett O’Hara (less the slavery aspects Leggi tutto
I’ve said it some time ago: GWTW the novel is like watching the ten hour director’s cut of GWTW the movie! Hell yeah! All the memorable scenes are there, & the spotlit romance is considerably widened in scope, as is the sturdy social studies lesson on the almighty American Civil War. I mean, everyon Leggi tutto
So much has been said in praise of this book it feels redundant to add more. In terms of the slave-holding society, the film actually toned-down the pro-South view of Reconstruction (Scarlett's second husband joined the KKK in the book) and Mammy remains probably one of the most fully-developed and
Gone with the Wind is a masterpiece of creative writing on every level. In its 1400 pages (or 49 hours on audio) there is not a single wasted line or insignificant moment. From a purely technical perspective, it is awe-inducing how flawlessly Mitchell utilizes characterization, setting, research, co Leggi tutto
