Short summary of intercultural business interactions. Worth a read. ( ![]() It was a story of a young woman who had to learn life lessons, going from a wealthy girl to a woman who would do anything to get what she wants. It was the first lengthy novel I ever read and I loved it all, except for the way minorities were depicted. But during the Civil War, unfortunately, that's how people acted. This book reads like it is 200 pages instead of nearly 1000. Scarlett O'Hara is one of the most compelling fictional characters ever - - totally flawed, yet you find yourself cheering for her all the way. If you read this book for what it is - - a story of unrequited love - - you'll love it. In so far as the historical part, I learned quite a bit about the Civil War times from the perspective of the South. Unfortunately, some of this comes across as racist, and it probably is/was. But I think it gives real insight into the unfair perceptions that existed in the day. September 36 edition, 15th, no jacket, fair What a fantastic novel. I can't believe I hadn't read this before now! I don't know how she did it, but Margaret Mitchell managed to write in a simple, easy-to-read manner (no thick, plodding prose), but at the same time really delve into the deep, complication of human relationships. And the civil war is like a character in itself - a finely-woven tapestry laid out behind the characters dancing in front of it. And to make us care what happens to, and look forward to finding out what happens to the so-very-spoiled Scarlett O'Hara, is quite an incredible feat. I can't believe how engaged I was in this book (I read A LOT) and sadly realize it may be years, even decades, before I read another book that sweeps me away like this one did. (P.S. I watched the movie after I finished the book, and they did a decent job, but even in almost four hours of film, they cannot do it justice. Don't settle for the movie - read the book!)
An old fashioned, romantic narrative with no Joycean or Proustian nonsense about it, the novel is written in a methodical style which fastidious readers may find wearying. But so carefully does Author Mitchell build up her central character of Scarlett O'Hara, and her picture of the times in which that wild woman struggled, that artistic lapses seem scarcely more consequential than Scarlett's many falls from grace. This is beyond a doubt one of the most remarkable first novels produced by an American writer. It is also one of the best. The historical background is the chief virtue of the book, and it is the story of the times rather than the unconvincing and somewhat absurd plot that gives Miss Mitchell's work whatever importance may be attached to it.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, Margaret Mitchell's great novel of the South is one of the most popular books ever written. Within six months of its publication in 1936, Gone With the Wind had sold a million copies. To date, it has been translated into 25 languages, and more than 28 million copies have been sold. Here are the characters that have become symbols of passion and desire: darkly handsome Rhett Butler and flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara. Behind them stand their gentler counterparts: Ashley Wilkes and Melanie Hamilton. As the lives and affairs of these absorbing characters play out against the tumult of the Civil War, Gone With the Wind reaches dramatic heights that have swept generations of fans off their feet. Having lived in Atlanta for many years, narrator Linda Stephens has an authentic ear for the dialects of that region. Get ready to hear Gone With the Wind exactly as it was written: every word beautifully captured in a spectacular unabridged audio production. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
