Margaret Mitchell, Margaret Mitchell: Gone with the Wind (Paperback, 1996, Pan Books)
paperback
Published May 31, 1996 by Pan Books.
Margaret Mitchell's monumental epic of the South won a Pulitzer Prize, gave rise to the most popular motion picture of our time, and inspired a sequel that became the fastest selling novel of the century. It is one of the most popular books ever written: more than 28 million copies of the book have been sold in more than 37 countries. Today, more than 60 years after its initial publication, its achievements are unparalleled, and it remains the most revered American saga and the most beloved work by an American writer...
I read this book for the first time when I was 11 and loved it. I reread it and fell in love with Scarlett, but was disgusted by the racism and ultimately misogynist message of the novel.
