New Releases by Margaret Mitchell

Som a l’any 1861, als prolegòmens de la guerra de Successió, i tots els joves del sud contemplen amb gran entusiasme la possibilitat d’entrar en combat. Tots, excepte l’atractiu aventurer Rhet Butler, que se sent summament atret per l’Scarlett, encara que ella segueix enamorada de l’Ashley. Enrabiada i decebuda, l’Scarlett accepta la proposta de matrimoni d’en Charles, el germà de la Melanie, a qui menysprea. Anys més tard i ja vídua després de la guerra, l’Scarlett ha d’enfrontar-se a situacions noves, com ara la fam, el dolor i la pèrdua. En aquestes circumstàncies, s’instal·la a Atlanta, on la Melanie espera notícies de l’Ashley i en Butler torna a fer la seva aparició...

Set in the historical frame of the War of Secession (1861-1865) and in the times preceding and following the battle, Lo que el viento se llevo is an impassioned novel that is almost impossible to put down. Romanticism, passion, pain, nostalgia and a surprising vitality are embodied in the unforgettable protagonist, Scarlett O''Hara, whose charismatic character, next to personalities like Rhett Butler, the kind-hearted Melly, or Ashley the dreamer, requires no introduction.

The prodigious childhood talent of the author of "Gone With the Wind" is brought to life in this collection of writings published on the 100th anniversary of her birth. 24 photos.
