Features: World Classic Literature Series. During the American Civil War, the daughter of a plantation owner, the beautiful Scarlett, was in her youth. She fell in love with Mr. Ashley, but he was about to get engaged to his cousin. Scarlett used her charm to try to bring Mr. Ashley closer to her. When she was rejected, she slapped Mr. Ashley in the face with a slap. With an attitude of appreciation and admiration, the author deliberately portrays the main female character Scarlett as charming, beautiful, clever, and capable, yet also willful, cunning, and cruel and greedy. The plot of the book is full of twists and turns, and the depiction of the characters' personalities and inner worlds is distinctive. Margaret Mitchell (1900-1949), the author of the book, was an American female writer. Gone with the Wind was written over a period of 10 years and became a sensation upon its publication. In 1937, the author won the Pulitzer Prize. Gone with the Wind was later adapted into the film Gone with the Wind, which became a global phenomenon.
