Gone With The Wind Volume 2: 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. Above all, it is the story of beautiful, ruthless Scarlett O'Hara and the dashing soldier of fortune, Rhett Butler. Since its first publication in 1936, Gone With The Wind has endured as a story for all our times. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

作品考察・見どころ
南北戦争後の荒廃を舞台とする本作の真価は、滅びゆく旧世界の美学と、生き抜くためのリアリズムの激突にあります。スカーレットは、喪失を糧に道徳さえ武器にする圧倒的な「生」の化身です。ミッチェルが描くのは、運命に翻弄されながらも己の足で大地に立つ、人間の強靭な生存本能そのものです。 レットとの愛憎劇は、第二巻でさらなる深みに達します。孤独な魂が衝突する心理描写は、今なお読者の心を激しく揺さぶるでしょう。「明日は明日の風が吹く」という言葉に込められた凄絶な意志は、混迷の現代を生きる我々の魂を鼓舞し、前へ向かわせる永遠の力に満ちています。
