Gone With the Wind

by Margaret Mitchell

Published in 1936, GONE WITH THE WIND sold 50,000 copies on its first day, and two million after a year. Even though it is 1,037 pages long, readers all over the world snatched up the book; by 1937 it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the movie rights had been sold to David O. Selznick. Mitchell prided herself on the historical accuracy of her work, and--despite its melodramatic plot and somewhat two-dimensional supporting characters--GONE WITH THE WIND is a sweeping account of how the Civil War tore apart an entire way of life, and Scarlett O'Hara is one of the most enduring characters in American fiction.

Media Reviews

"...Miss Mitchell paints a broad canvas, an an exciting one. And, in spite of its length, the book moves swiftly and smoothly--a three-decker with all sails set. Miss Mitchell has lost neither her characters in her background nor her background in her characters, and her full-blooded story is in the best traditions of the historical novel. It is a good novel rather than a great one....Nevertheless, in 'Gone With the Wind' Miss Mitchell has written a solid and vividly interesting story of war and reconstruction, realistic in detail and told from an original point of view."
