Margaret Mitchell's epic novel of love and war won the Pulitzer Prize and went on to give rise to two authorized sequels and one of the most popular and celebrated movies of all time.
Many novels have been written about the Civil War and its aftermath. None take us into the burning fields and cities of the American South as Gone With the Wind does, creating haunting scenes and thrilling portraits of characters so vivid that we remember their words and feel their fear and hunger for the rest of our lives.
In the two main characters, the white-shouldered, irresistible Scarlett and the flashy, contemptuous Rhett, Margaret Mitchell not only conveyed a timeless story of survival under the harshest of circumstances, she also created two of the most famous lovers in the English-speaking world since Romeo and Juliet.

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. Set in the historical frame of the War of Secession (1861-1865) and in the times preceding and following the battle.
Description in Spanish:
Escarlata O’Hara, hija de un terrateniente sureño, es tan bella como caprichosa. Enamorada de su vecino Ashley, verá cómo éste escoge a la dulce Melania por esposa, y despechada se casará con un hombre al que no ama. Pero la guerra cambiará sus vidas y Escarlata tendrá que hacer frente a situaciones para las que no estaba preparada: el hambre, el dolor, y el amor de un hombre que por fin está a su altura, el apuesto aventurero Rhett Butler. La versión cinematográfica de Lo que el viento se llevó es una de las películas más admiradas de la historia del cine. Obtuvo 10 oscars en 1939 e hizo de sus protagonistas unas auténticas celebridades.

Discovered one sultry summer in an Atlanta basement full of sixty years' worth of accumulated debris, the writing of a young Margaret Mitchell reveals a prodigious and inspirational talent for such a young girl. The writer, who would later pen the bestselling book of all time after the Bible (and one that still sells over 200,000 copies every year around the world), was a precocious, imaginative, headstrong, female rebel who was, despite her disposition, as distracted by everyday concerns about parental approval and social insecurities as any child. Nevertheless, as shown in the pages of I Want to Be Famous, Margaret Mitchell was amazingly talented and displayed this through her writing of letters, journals, short stories, and one-act plays (later staged in her midtown Atlanta home). From westerns and shipwreck tales to stories of scalawags and musings on her best friends and boys, Mitchell demonstrated a finesse for challenging authority and striking out on her own-personality traits not surprising for the society debutante who was later rejected by the Junior League of Atlanta because of a racy dance she performed at one of their "balls," and an author who would later cope with the pressures of international fame measured against her personal mission as a major philanthropist for African American causes in racially divided Atlanta. Mitchell's is a story of youthful independence and talent; the real story of "girl power" long before its modern-day popularization. Fully illustrated and including 28 recently discovered writings, this collection is perfect for any young or teenage girl who aspires to be a writer.

The 64 columns in Margaret Mitchell, Reporter present a never-before-seen portrait of the lively, far-ranging mind and an insightful observer well on the way to her full literary power long before the world even knew her name. More than a decade before Margaret Mitchell the novelist conceived the immortal fictional world of her now legendary and hotly debated novel, Mitchell the reporter was pounding the real-life streets of her native Atlanta in search of the who, what, when, and where for her popular column in the Atlanta Journal. Defying convention, the recent debutante shook things up as one of the first female columnists for the South's largest newspaper. From 1922 to 1926, Mitchell completed hundreds of articles, profiles, columns, interviews, sketches, and book reviews, the best of which are now compiled for the first time. Mitchell's journalism transcends the simple fact-gathering of a seasoned journalist to provide a compelling snapshot of life in the Jazz Age South.
