"Gone with the Wind" is the only full-length masterpiece by American writer Mitchell. The story in the novel begins in 1861, on the eve of the American Civil War. Scarlett O'Hara, a girl living in the South, has been deeply influenced by Southern cultural traditions since she was a child, but there is a wild and rebellious element flowing in her blood. As the war raged on and the living environment deteriorated, Scarlett's rebellious personality became more and more full and distinct. In a series of setbacks, she transformed herself, changed the fate of herself and even the entire family, and became a new female image created by the times. In 1936, "Gone with the Wind" won the National Book Award; in 1937, it won the Pulitzer Prize. The movie of the same name was released in 1939, and Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable's performances are still classics.
