Gone With The Wind (Deluxe Edition)

Scarlett O'Hara's Georgia is remade twice over, first by war and then by everything that follows it, and Margaret Mitchell keeps her heroine at the centre of both upheavals. The novel runs from plantation life before the American Civil War through the conflict itself and into the Reconstruction years, tracking how a ruined economy and a collapsing social order press on people who assumed both were permanent. Scarlett is drawn as stubborn, self-serving and hard to like, which is part of why the book has held readers for so long, and her exchanges with Rhett Butler give the story its sharpest dialogue. This deluxe edition presents the full-length text in a presentation intended for keeping. Features of this copy: • Unabridged text of Margaret Mitchell's full-length novel • Deluxe presentation chosen for display and long shelf life • Historical sweep covering the Civil War years and the period after • A central character written without softening her flaws Recommended for readers of classic American fiction, historical epics and anyone assembling a keepsake library, offered by Boipoka.
