Jonathan ，

Scarlett is the most malignantly narcissistic character I have ever read， other than Flynn’s titular “Gone Girl”。 The broad and detailed historical sweep is quite transportive and very enjoyable， but I did not like reading of Scarlett’s antics， interior world or infantile actions。 What a despicable heroine。 Mitchell’s choices are brilliant- envisioning such a person as the hero takes hutzpah， not to mention cleverness in what it subtly implies about the antiquated， feudal， dependent-on-slave lab Scarlett is the most malignantly narcissistic character I have ever read， other than Flynn’s titular “Gone Girl”。 The broad and detailed historical sweep is quite transportive and very enjoyable， but I did not like reading of Scarlett’s antics， interior world or infantile actions。 What a despicable heroine。 Mitchell’s choices are brilliant- envisioning such a person as the hero takes hutzpah， not to mention cleverness in what it subtly implies about the antiquated， feudal， dependent-on-slave labor Cotton Kingdom that birthed such a creature as Scarlett O’Hara。 Overall great book tho。 。。。more

4/5 - I don't even know where to start with this review， to be honest。 I was very excited when I started reading this book because I'd been wanting to read it for ages and never got the chance （or energy） to do it。 At first， I enjoyed reading about Scarlett's teenage years before the war， how she met Rhett and so on。 But， as the story progressed， I couldn't stand the author's constant racist remarks。 Not only are all the characters in this book racist （which I'm willing to try to understand cons 4/5 - I don't even know where to start with this review， to be honest。 I was very excited when I started reading this book because I'd been wanting to read it for ages and never got the chance （or energy） to do it。 At first， I enjoyed reading about Scarlett's teenage years before the war， how she met Rhett and so on。 But， as the story progressed， I couldn't stand the author's constant racist remarks。 Not only are all the characters in this book racist （which I'm willing to try to understand considering the period and the circumstances）， but so is the author。 As a white person， I felt offended and disgusted reading certain comments and descriptions。。。and this is the reason why I can't say I loved this book and why I can't recommend it to anyone。I like many things about these characters， including Scarlett's determination to create a place for herself in a society which denied her everything。 Her lack of interest in marriage， her unwillingness to become a mere instrument to birth children and her desire to work and have a business of her own。 As for Rhett， I like how he's the only person who knows and understands Scarlett's nature。。。and I also like his final decision regarding their marriage。 With reference to their romantic relationship， this was supposed to be the greatest love story of all time。。。and I didn't find it to be so idyllic。 In fact， I think it's anything but a love story。All in all， I think it's dangerous to romanticize this novel， this romantic relationship and this period。 I gave it a four-star rating because it was entertaining to read （despite the gruesome racism） and I just couldn't stop reading， but that's it。 I still consider this book a classic since it perfectly depicts American society at that time， but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a favorite or that I loved it。 The best part about it？ THE END。 。。。more

Buchrezension: "Vom Winde Verweht" von Margaret Mitchell。 Klappentext:Die Südstaatlerin Scarlett O'Hara ist jung und vom Leben verwöhnt。 Als Tochter eines Plantagenbesitzers lebt sie im Luxus auf dem Familiengut Tara， und es mangelt ihr nicht an Verehrern。 Doch der Ausbruch des Bürgerkriegs verändert mit einem Schlag alles。 Plötzlich muss Scarlett mit aller Kraft um die Erhaltung ihres Familienbesitzes kämpfen。 Ein Mann taucht immer wieder in ihrem Leben auf und steht ihr in den Wirren der Nachk Buchrezension: "Vom Winde Verweht" von Margaret Mitchell。 Klappentext:Die Südstaatlerin Scarlett O'Hara ist jung und vom Leben verwöhnt。 Als Tochter eines Plantagenbesitzers lebt sie im Luxus auf dem Familiengut Tara， und es mangelt ihr nicht an Verehrern。 Doch der Ausbruch des Bürgerkriegs verändert mit einem Schlag alles。 Plötzlich muss Scarlett mit aller Kraft um die Erhaltung ihres Familienbesitzes kämpfen。 Ein Mann taucht immer wieder in ihrem Leben auf und steht ihr in den Wirren der Nachkriegszeit bei: der skrupellose Kriegsgewinnler Rhett Butler。 Zwischen ihm und Scarlett entwickelt sich eine große Liebe， doch beide sind auch viel zu stolz und eigensinnig， um diese Liebe zu leben。。。Ich hab eine Weile gebraucht um in die Welt von Scarlett O'Hara einzutauchen， als mir dies gelungen war， war es schwer das Buch wieder aus der Hand zu legen。 Ich hätte nicht gedacht， dass mir die Geschichte so gut gefällt。 Auch hätte ich nicht gedacht， dass mir die Charaktere so nah werden， hatte ich doch anfangs Probleme mich mit ihnen an zufreunden， gerade auch mit Scarlett。  Der Lauf der Geschichte und das Ende habe mich anfangs doch sehr überrascht， aber wenn ich so darüber nachdenken， dann hätte es eigentlich auch gar nicht anders ablaufen können。 Ein tolles Buch， was wirklich klasse geschrieben ist und sich auch sehr gut liest。  Jetzt bin ich auch mal auf den Film gespannt。 。。。more

no tiene la misma frescura de descubrir la historia por primera vez， pero es y sigue siendo para mí un gran libro， que cuenta con fascinantes personajes que sufren la Guerra y su posguerra dentro del bando perdedor en un periodo clave de la historia de EEUU y lo hace de una manera fantástica。 Otro librazo de personajes con los que disfruto tanto。curiosidades？* A la protagonista casi al principio del libro le vaticinan que se casaría con un hombre de pelo y bigotazos negros， acertara？ ; ）Esto me ha recordado a un pasaje de Jane Eyre aunque， esos sí muchísimo más extenso， donde se narra una escena con una pitonisa que me gusta mucho。"。。。 y oye el gemido del hada Banshee。。。" ？？ donde he leído mencionar antes a ese ser。。。 en los libros Harry Potter， claro！ en la nota de los traductores

Shakespeare。"。。。Convencidos de que， después de la Biblia， el único libro digno de crédito era la cabaña del tío Tom。。。""。。。Ella fue quien emitió el voto decisivo en el Circulo de lecturas Shakespearianas， dividido acerca de la cuestión de saber si habría que alternar la lectura de las obras del gran trágico con las de las obras de Dickens y de Bulwer-Lytton， o con la de los poemas de Byron。"Macbeth"。。。cogió un libro de encima de la mesa。 Era un ejemplar en rústica de los miserables， ese libro que había hecho las delicias de los soldados confederados。 Lo leían a la luz de los fuegos del campamento y sentían cierto placer llamándolo Lee's Miserables。 Lo abrió al azar y empezó a leer con voz clara y monótona。。。""。。。-Ojalá pudiera toda el agua del Océano lavar la sangre que

galán， y， con lagrimas silenciosas resbalando de sus ojos， se imaginaba， complacida， así misma con blanca toca。。。" *curiosidades， acertara？ se trata de la hermana menor de Scarlett。"。。。¡Siempre enredando en el piano o atiborrándose la cabeza de libros！ Apuesto a que Ashley prefiere leer a cazar。。。""。。。porque la muchacha no despertaba en él ninguna de las violentas emociones novelescas que sus amados libros aseguraban eran propias de un enamorado。。。""。。。la biblioteca estaba en la penumbra en la estancia oscura， de altas paredes completamente cubierta de negros libros， le deprimió， los

Lauren Stuck ，

I watched the movie and I loved it but it had some sad parts

Tomás ☁️ ，

He estado tentado a darle 4 estrellas solo por el final （creo que no recuerdo un final que me pusiera de tal mal humor） pero me lo he pensado mejor y creo que otra posibilidad hubiera sido darle 6 estrellas en caso de tener un final a la altura。

An interesting book， but to long。 Some passages were just tu much。 A document of past mentalities。

4，75 ⭐️ únicamente porque no he podido superar un hecho particular del libro pero Qué LIBRAZO！！ Creo que nunca me había pasado tener tantos pero tantos conflictos con un personaje principal pero es que Scarlett es muy única 😂 de todas formas， aunque no se haga querer en especial， me parece un personaje increíble y celebro haberme encontrado con una historia tan distinta en su desarrollo y final de lo que yo esperaba。

I read this book eons ago， having won this exact paperback in my sixth grade class （however， I did not read it till high school）。 I remember that in college the classic film was showing， and I had to walk out in the middle！--because my reading of the book was too recent， and the film did not do it justice。 Over time， I was able to see and appreciate the film， but for anyone who likes the film， READ THE BOOK！

An opportunistic， emotionally abusive， snarky man chases after a conceited and shallow "lady" who's heart is committed to another （married） man。 In the end， neither of them learn their lessons about their broken ways of relating to people。 I don't get why people call this a great love story。 The book was most interesting during the first 2/3。 The main character， Scarlett， navigates the civil war， southern society， and her shitty decisions。 The author painted a very effective picture of the starv An opportunistic， emotionally abusive， snarky man chases after a conceited and shallow "lady" who's heart is committed to another （married） man。 In the end， neither of them learn their lessons about their broken ways of relating to people。 I don't get why people call this a great love story。 The book was most interesting during the first 2/3。 The main character， Scarlett， navigates the civil war， southern society， and her shitty decisions。 The author painted a very effective picture of the starvation and downright cruelty that the confederates endured。 It was confusing that the main characters knew that the confederates' motivation was wrong， and yet they did everything to defend their treatment of black people and their way of life。 The author goes to great lengths to justify the birth of the KKK as the confederates saw the situation。 It was disgusting and painful to read - downright racist。 It was still engaging and illuminating and a good read for anyone who wants to understand this time period and culture of the south a little better。 。。。more

This book is a product of this time。 There is a lot of racism in this book。 As I mentioned before it a product of it’s time。 With that aside I thought the book was ok

I LOVE the movie but the book is OUTSTANDING！ ❤ The book is certainly more extensive （in a good way） and it fills in lots of missing details from the movie！ I especially enjoyed that part。。 Also there are several differences between the book and the movie！ That was definitely a pleasant surprise！ Clark Gable will always be my Rhett Butler and Vivian Leigh will always be my Scarlett O' Hara！！！ I really LOVED the book version of Scarlett and Rhett！ I LOVE the movie but the book is OUTSTANDING！ ❤ The book is certainly more extensive （in a good way） and it fills in lots of missing details from the movie！ I especially enjoyed that part。。 Also there are several differences between the book and the movie！ That was definitely a pleasant surprise！ Clark Gable will always be my Rhett Butler and Vivian Leigh will always be my Scarlett O' Hara！！！ I really LOVED the book version of Scarlett and Rhett！ 。。。more

This book is hard to rate because on one hand， the story of Scarlett was great and interesting。 However， this book is completely outdated and there are other great and interesting books that get the same message across without the racism and misogyny。

I had actually never read this book before so it was an interesting read。 I could see why it is so popular and considered a classic。 Some of the themes and language could be considered offensive。
