Gone With The Wind Volume 1: Special Edition By Margaret Mitchell Tomorrow is another day ... Set against the dramatic backdrop of the American Civil War, Margaret Mitchell's magnificent historical epic is an unforgettable tale of love and loss, of a nation mortally divided and a people forever changed.

マーガレット・ミッチェルが描く本作は、一つの文明が崩壊する瞬間の輝きを捉えた文学的叙事詩です。見どころは、従来の淑女像を覆す主人公スカーレット・オハラの強靭な生存本能にあります。彼女の容赦のない野心は、滅びゆく南部社会の虚飾を剥ぎ取り、真の強さとは何かを我々に鋭く問いかけます。 本作の本質は、動乱の中で運命に抗い続ける人間の生々しい鼓動にあります。レット・バトラーとの駆け引きは、激動の変革期において何を守り何を捨てるかという深遠な哲学を提示しています。圧倒的な筆致で描かれる個人の「生」への執着に、読者は魂を激しく揺さぶられるに違いありません。
