Unesennye vetrom. Tom 1 - Mitchell Margaret

According to legend, the creation of the novel "Gone with the Wind" began with Margaret Mitchell writing the main phrase of the last chapter: "None of her favorite men Scarlett could not understand and here - lost both." Subsequent work on the work lasted about ten years and required from the writer a great dedication and hard work. In an effort to penetrate the very spirit of the era, Mitchell painstakingly studied the history of his native Atlanta, used newspapers and magazines of the mid-19th century. On the pages of her manuscript were revived stories of eyewitnesses of the Civil War and family traditions. Mitchell rewrote some scenes four or five times, and as for the first chapter, the writer was satisfied only with the 60th version!

The novel, released in the spring of 1936, had unprecedented success and immediately broke all records for popularity and circulation in the entire history of American literature. And the film adaptation of the same name with Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable in the lead roles won 10 Academy Awards and became one of the most famous films in the history of world cinema.
