Gone With The Wind By Margaret Mitchell Early 1936 Hardcover Edition Classic

Description: This vintage, historic book is the October 1936 (see photo) Hard Cover edition of GONE WITH THE WIND (originally published on June 30, 1936) by Margaret Mitchell (1900-1948), published by The Macmillan Company, New York. Mitchell was awarded the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for the Best Novel for this book. Scarlett's story of survival amid the brutalities of war and its aftermath struck a chord with readers around the world. Fifty thousand copies were sold in one day. The book went on to sell MORE copies than ANY OTHER BOOK in U.S. publishing history. By the turn of the 21st century, more than 30 million copies had been sold worldwide in more than 40 languages. In addition, this great Civil War novel, turned into one of the most popular American films of all time. At the 1940 Academy Awards ceremony, Gone with the Wind won 8 of the 13 Oscars for which it was nominated and two special awards, including Best Supporting Actress to Hattie McDaniel, the first African American to win an Academy Award. Today’s reader will find the book marred by the strong racial prejudices which fill its pages. Writer Jill Conner Brown has chosen to stress another aspect of the novel: “Not just a great love story, Gone with the Wind is one of the most powerful anti-war novels ever written. Told from the standpoint of the women left behind, author Margaret Mitchell brilliantly illustrates the heartbreaking and devastating effects of war on the land and its people." This is an important book in the history of American literature, and this very early 1936 edition will be a significant addition to any serious library.
