Prohujalo sa vihorom I - II

"Gone with the Wind" (1936) is an epochal and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by American writer Margaret Mitchell, which is considered one of the most famous and best-selling works of world literature. The story is set in Georgia during and after the American Civil War and, through the fate of the aristocratic O'Hara family, depicts the tectonic social and historical changes that forever changed the American South. At the center of the story is Scarlett O'Hara, an extraordinarily complex, defiant and egotistical heroine who transforms from a spoiled Southern beauty into a ruthless and fighting woman ready to do anything to save the Tara family estate from complete destruction. Her path is intertwined with a dramatic and turbulent relationship with the equally cynical, intelligent and charismatic Rhett Butler, the man who is the only one able to understand her indomitable spirit. Through lavish depictions of wartime suffering, the collapse of the old slave system, and the difficult postwar reconstruction, Mitchell skillfully weaves a story of survival, passion, delusion, and loss. Written in an exceptionally vivid, striking, and emotional style, Gone with the Wind is a timeless saga of love and pride, tinged with the familiar and fearless message of hope: "Tomorrow is a new day."
