The apostle Paul was the inaugurator of early Christian literary culture, not only through the writing of his own letters (ca. 50-62 CE) - which were to become surprisingly influential once collected and published after his death - but also through the successful propagation of a religious logic of mediated epiphanies of Christ, on the one hand, and of "synecdochical hermeneutics" of the gospel narrative about Christ, on the other. He set the precedent that the Christ-believing movements were to be rooted in texts and textual interpretation. Already in his own letters, Paul began a process of ongoing articulation and reinterpretation of the gospel narrative and the various means by which it could be replicated in each new generation and locale. This process was to continue through the letters written in his name, the Acts of the Apostles, and apostolic imitators and expositors in the centuries to come. These 15 essays by Margaret M. Mitchell are accompanied by an introduction that lays out thirteen propositions for the development of early Christian literary culture from its inception in the astounding claims of Paul, the self-styled "apostolic envoy of Jesus Christ crucified," up through Constantine.

"Gone with the Wind" oder hier in Neuübersetzung "Vom Winde verweht" ist der Roman der amerikanischen Schriftstellerin Margaret Mitchell - erstmals 1936 veröffentlicht und hier in neuer Übersetzung. Die Geschichte spielt in Clayton County und Atlanta in Georgia während des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs und der Ära der Rekonstruktion. Sie schildert die Kämpfe und das Erwachsenwerden der jungen Scarlett O''Hara, der ältesten und verwöhnten Tochter eines wohlhabenden Baumwollplantagen-Besitzers, die sich nach Shermans zerstörerischem "March to the Sea", ein Feldzug der Unionsarmee im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg, mit allen Mitteln aus der Armut herauskämpfen muss. Die Truppen verfolgten eine Politik der "verbrannten Erde" und zerstörten sowohl militärische Ziele als auch Industrie, Infrastruktur und ziviles Eigentum, um die Wirtschaft und die Transportnetze der Konföderation zu unterbrechen. Die Operation brach der Konföderation das Rückgrat und trug dazu bei, dass sie schließlich kapitulierte. Shermans Entscheidung, tief im feindlichen Gebiet und ohne Nachschublinien zu operieren, gilt als eine der wichtigsten Feldzüge des Krieges und wird von einigen Historikern als frühes Beispiel für den modernen totalen Krieg angesehen. Scarletts unverblümtes irisches Blut steht in dieser Zeit im ständigen Widerspruch zu den französischen Stillehren ihrer Mutter. Scarlett heiratet nacheinander Charles Hamilton, Frank Kennedy und Rhett Butler, während sie sich die ganze Zeit wünscht, sie wäre stattdessen mit Ashley Wilkes verheiratet. Sie bekommt drei Kinder, eines von jedem Ehemann, und ein viertes Kind während eines Streits mit Rhett. Insgeheim verachtet sie Melanie Wilkes, Ashleys Frau, die hingegen Scarlett gegenüber nichts als Liebe und Hingabe zeigt und sie zeitlebens als Schwester betrachtet. Vom Winde verweht war bei den amerikanischen Lesern von Anfang an beliebt und war 1936 und 1937 der Top-Bestseller der amerikanischen Belletristik. Im Jahr 2014 war es laut einer Harris-Umfrage das zweitbeliebteste Buch der amerikanischen Leser, gleich hinter der Bibel und ist in die Popkultur eingeflossen. Weltweit wurden mehr als 30 Millionen Exemplare gedruckt. Mitchell erhielt für ihren einzigen Roman, der zu ihren Lebzeiten veröffentlicht wurde, 1937 den Pulitzer-Preis für Belletristik. Er wurde 1939 gleichnamig für das Kino adaptiert - gilt als einer der besten Filme aller Zeiten und erhielt bei der 12. jährlichen Oscar-Verleihung auch den Academy Award für den besten Film.

Vom Wind verweht ist ein Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur, eine abenteuerliche Liebesgeschichte, vor allem aber das große Epos des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs, ein Pendant zu Krieg und Frieden, das Andreas Nohl und Liat Himmelheber zum ersten Mal vollständig ins Deutsche übertragen haben. Jeder kennt die tragische Liebesgeschichte von Scarlett O’Hara und Rhett Butler, wenn auch oft nur aus dem Film, in der Gestalt von Vivien Leigh und Clark Gable. Der Film gilt als einer der erfolgreichsten der Filmgeschichte, aber auch das Buch, das 1936 erschien, war umgehend ein Bestseller und wurde schon 1937 ins Deutsche übersetzt: Keine Geschichte hat unser Bild von den Südsaaten, dem amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg und der Zeit der Reconstruction so sehr geprägt wie Margaret Mitchells Gone With the Wind. Vom Wind verweht, die erste Neuübersetzung seit 1937 – zugleich die erste ungekürzte Übersetzung in deutscher Sprache –, folgt dem schnörkellosen, journalistischen Stil von Margaret Mitchell und lässt uns so fast einen anderen Roman lesen. Natürlich ist es immer noch das große Epos des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs, die tragische Liebesgeschichte und die Geschichte einer jungen Frau, die ihr Leben selbst in die Hand nimmt. Doch die Neuübersetzung von Andreas Nohl und Liat Himmelheber vermeidet den romantisierenden Stil, die rassistischen Stereotypen und den teils kitschigen Ton der Übersetzung von 1937 und zeigt uns einen Roman, der moderner und ambivalenter ist als das verklärte Bild, das wir bisher hatten. Diese Neuübersetzung ist nicht nur ein viel größerer Lesegenuss, sie gibt uns auch – endlich – die Möglichkeit, Vom Wind verweht richtig zu lesen: als den epischen amerikanischen Roman, der Konflikte und Brüche beschreibt, die die USA bis heute prägen.

Da Margaret Mitchell, Premio Pulitzer nel 1937, un capolavoro immortale della letteratura statunitense. Leggi la famosa epopea di Rossella O’Hara in una nuova e moderna traduzione. In questa seconda parte seguiamo Rossella ad Atlanta, dove si ricongiunge alla zia e alla sorella del defunto marito Charles. Mentre all’orizzonte scoppia la guerra, Rossella si dedica al volontariato in ospedale e cerca di gestire a modo suo la sua nuova vita da vedova, che le comporta grandi sacrifici. Nuovi e sempre più frequenti incontri con Rhett Butler, l’affascinante capitano-contrabbandiere dai modi bruschi ma intriganti, fanno capire a Rossella che forse è più interessata all’uomo di quanto ella stessa pensa. “Via col vento” è un capolavoro senza tempo, un esempio lampante dell’altissima capacità creativa e narrativa di Margaret Mitchell, uno spaccato di storia di una nazione ancora in via di sviluppo, un estratto pungente e dettagliato di una società isolata e retrograda, una lunga e sofferta storia d’amore. Leggendo questo romanzo e guardando il film del 1939 di Victor Fleming si viene catapultati in un mondo antico ma non così tanto, un mondo che ha il sapore della terra rossa e del cuoio, del sudore e delle lacrime, del sangue e della polvere da sparo. È un viaggio incredibile che oggi, a quasi un secolo dalla stesura dell’originale, ancora affascina persone di qualunque età e di qualunque estrazione culturale. È un viaggio nella vita di Rossella O’Hara, Rhett Butler, Ashley Wilkes, Melania Hamilton; di decine di personaggi entrati ormai nell’immaginario collettivo. È un viaggio senza tempo.

Ze kon Rhett terugwinnen. Ze wist dat ze het kon. Er was nog nooit een man geweest die ze niet kon krijgen als ze eenmaal haar zinnen op hem had gezet. `Morgen zal ik een manier bedenken om hem terug te krijgen. Tenslotte begint er morgen weer een nieuwe dag. Zo eindigt een van de beroemdste liefdesverhalen ooit: dat van de mysterieuze Scarlett O Hara en de even onstuimige als intrigerende Rhett Butler. Hun gepassioneerde romance, die wereldwijd al miljoenen lezers wist mee te slepen, speelt zich af tegen de achtergrond van de Amerikaanse burgeroorlog in het zuiden van de Verenigde Staten, een tijd waarin net als nu - bestaande zekerheden als positie en welvaart, superioriteit en hiërarchie wankelen. Gejaagd door de wind is het portret van de ultieme moderne vrouw, die meedogenloos nastreeft wat ze wil hebben, misgrijpt en weer opnieuw begint.

Lo que el viento se llevó es un drama romántico, aunque no falta quien lo califique de melodrama. La novela gira en torno a la historia de una joven de una familia aristócrata sureña, Scarlett O''Hara, en la época de la Guerra de Secesión

ROMAN CÂȘTIGĂTOR AL PREMIULUI PULITZER ȘI AL NATIONAL BOOK AWARD CARTE VÂNDUTĂ ÎN PESTE 30 DE MILIOANE DE EXEMPLARE FILM DISTINS CU 8 PREMII OSCAR, CU VIVIEN LEIGH ȘI CLARK GABLE ÎN ROLURILE PRINCIPALE „Fără îndoială, unul dintre cele mai remarcabile romane de debut scrise de un autor american. Și unul dintre cele mai bune romane scrise vreodată.“ – The New York Times „Pe aripile vântului abundă în episoade epice bine construite și e îmbibat cu atmosfera nostalgică sugerată de titlul lui superb; dar elementul cel mai important în carte este felul în care sunt pictate portretele: Scarlett O’Hara și Rhett Butler sunt înfățișați într-un stil care respinge deopotrivă sentimentalismul și violența…Un roman realist remarcabil…“ – Edward Wagenknecht, critic literar, autorul volumului Cavalcade of the American Novel

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.

Estamos en 1861, en los proleg�menos de la guerra de Secesi�n, y todos los j�venes sure�os muestran entusiasmo por entrar en combate, excepto el atractivo aventurero Rhett Butler. A Butler le gusta Scarlett, pero �sta sigue enamorada de Ashley, que acaba de hacer p�blico su compromiso con Melanie. Despechada, Scarlett acepta la propuesta de matrimonio de Charles, el hermano de Melanie, al que desprecia. A�os m�s tarde, y como consecuencia del final de la guerra, ya viuda, Scarlett debe afrontar situaciones nuevas como el hambre, el dolor y la p�rdida e instalarse en Atlanta, donde Melanie espera noticias de Ashley y Butler aparece de nuevo...
