Gone with the Wind

By: Margaret Mitchell

Narrated by: Liza Ross

'My dear, I don't give a damn.'

The pampered daughter of a wealthy Georgian plantation owner, sixteen-year-old Scarlett O’Hara soon realises that young men can’t resist her charms, despite her forthright manners and her refusal to embrace her mother’s ladylike ways. She enters into an early marriage, but when the war between the Union and the Southern States breaks out and she is left a young widow, Scarlett’s life is turned upside down, and she finds herself embroiled, together with the world surrounding her, in a long struggle for survival.

Widely considered the great American novel, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer prize, and inspiring the iconic 1939 Oscar-winning film starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, Gone With The Wind’s achievements are unparalleled and it remains an enduring classic.

Uma heroína cheia de defeitos que acaba nos fascinando com sua força e obstinação. Incrível ter sido escrita a tanto tempo!

Muito interessante o contexto histórico para tentar entender a guerra de sesseção dos EUA, com os motivos de cada lado.
