“Gone with the Wind” is one of the best examples of American prose, faithfully and accurately reflecting the events of the Civil War of 1861–1865 and the Reconstruction period in the United States. At the center of the novel is the beguiling female image of the heroine—Scarlett O’Hara, the daughter of a French aristocrat and an Irish plantation owner.
A green-eyed beauty—capricious and headstrong, yet, at the same time, strong and desperate, ready to find a way out of any situation.
Scarlett’s story enchants with her restless, untamed energy and passionate love of life in all its forms. Her uncertain steps, mistakes, losses and discoveries, falls and triumphs, love and hatred, both material and spiritual wealth—none of this will leave anyone indifferent.
