Gone with the Wind is a novel by American writer Margaret Mitchell, first published in 1936. The story is set in Clayton County and Atlanta, both in Georgia, during the American Civil War and Reconstruction Era. It depicts the struggles of young Scarlett O'Hara, the spoiled daughter of a well-to-do plantation owner, who must use every means at her disposal to claw her way out of poverty following Sherman's destructive "March to the Sea". This historical novel features a coming-of-age story, with the title taken from a poem written by Ernest Dowson.Part IThe novel opens April 15, 1861, at "Tara," a plantation owned by Gerald O'Hara, an Irish immigrant who has become a successful planter, and his wife, Ellen Robillard O'Hara, from a coastal aristocratic family of French descent. Their 16-year-old daughter, Scarlett, is not beautiful, but men seldom realized it once they were caught up in her charm. All the talk is of the coming Civil War.There are brief but vivid descriptions of the South as it began and grew, with backgrounds of the main the stylish and highbrow French, the gentlemanly English, the forced-to-flee and looked-down-upon Irish. Scarlett learns that one of her many beaux, Ashley Wilkes, will soon be engaged to his cousin, Melanie Hamilton. She is heart-stricken. The next day at the Wilkeses' barbecue at Twelve Oaks, Scarlett tells Ashley she loves him, and he admits he cares for her. However, he knows he would not be happy if married to her because of their personality differences. She loses her temper with him, and he silently takes it.Rhett Butler, who has a reputation as a rogue, had been alone in the library when Ashley and Scarlett entered and felt it wiser to stay unseen during the argument. Rhett applauds Scarlett for the "unladylike" spirit she displayed with Ashley. Infuriated and humiliated, she tells Rhett, "You aren't fit to wipe his boots!"After rejoining the other party guests, she learns that war has been declared and the men are going to enlist. Seeking revenge, Scarlett accepts a marriage proposal from Melanie's brother, Charles Hamilton. They marry two weeks later. Charles dies of pneumonia following the measles two months after the war begins. As a young widow, Scarlett gives birth to her first child, Wade Hampton Hamilton, named after his father's general. She is bound by custom to wear black and avoid conversation with young men. Scarlett feels restricted by these conventions and bitterly misses her life as a young, unmarried woman.

"Scarlett auzi scara gemând și se sculă în picioare încetișor. Când va reveni Mammy va reîncepe să facă morală pentru lipsa ei de ospitalitate și Scarlett simți că nu va putea să îndure o discuție pe o chestiune atât de măruntă, când ei i se frângea inima de durere. Stând în picioare, neștiind ce să facă, întrebându-se unde s-ar putea ascunde, până când durerea i se va potoli puțin, avu o idee care-i aduse o slabă rază de nădejde."
"Mai târziu, când se va gândi la aceste ultime zile ale lui aprilie 1861, Scarlett nu va putea niciodată să-și amintească totul amănunțit. Timpul și evenimentele se precipitaseră și se amestecaseră ca într-un coșmar lipsit de realitate și de rațiune. Până în clipa morții ei, zilele acelea vor rămâne ca locuri albe în memorie. Timpul care se scurse între momentul când primi să se mărite cu Charles și ziua nunții îi lăsă o amintire prea vagă."

În cele din urmă, mi-a plăcut de Scarlet O'Hara, chiar dacă, la cei 16 ani ai săi, mi s-a părut cam prea deschisă și dornică de atenția bărbaților din jurul ei. M-a surprins în momentul în care am văzut că vrea să se mărite urgent, dar nu m-a mirat că i-a trecut repede plăcerea de a fi considerată femeie de casă. Bine, există un personaj care o ajută în acest sens și care sunt convinsă că va juca un rol esențial în următoarele volume.

Povestea o urmărește pe Scarlett O’Hara, o tânără frumoasă și voluntară din Sudul Statelor Unite, care trăiește pe plantația Tara din statul Georgia. La început, ea este preocupată doar de flirturi și de dragostea ei obsesivă pentru Ashley Wilkes, care, spre dezamăgirea ei, se logodește cu verișoara lui, Melanie Hamilton.

După izbucnirea Războiului Civil, viața lui Scarlett se schimbă radical. Ea se căsătorește impulsiv cu Charles Hamilton (fratele lui Melanie), dar el moare curând în război. Rămasă văduvă, Scarlett se mută la Atlanta, unde începe să trăiască alături de Melanie și să se confrunte cu greutățile războiului.

Aici îl reîntâlnește pe Rhett Butler, un bărbat cinic și misterios, care devine fascinat de personalitatea ei puternică. Pe măsură ce războiul avansează, Atlanta este ocupată, iar Scarlett se vede obligată să se întoarcă la Tara, unde găsește plantația devastată și familia ei în ruină.

Scarlett dovedește un curaj și o ambiție nemaiîntâlnite: se luptă să salveze Tara și familia ei de la foamete, muncind neobosit și luând decizii drastice pentru supraviețuire.

Apa yang kisah ini katakan? Bahwa cinta adalah sebuah perayaan untuk perasaan dan pernikahan hanyalah untuk menjaga tata krama dan kesopanan. Scarlett, dia menikahi Charles untuk dendam, menikahi Frank untuk uang dan menikahi Rhett demi ... Semacam menjawab tantangan. Scarlett mencintai Ashley yang menikahi gadis polos berhati lembut, Melly. Padahal, dia mencintai Scarlett. Lihat Frank, yang mencintai Sue tapi menikahi Scarlett, bukankah dia bodoh? Will yang mencintai Careen tapi menikahi Sue. Atau gadis-gadis lainnya yang terpaksa menikahi pemuda dengan latar belakang tak jauh berbeda. Begitu mudahnya jatuh cinta, begitu rumitnya membina hubungan. Pada akhirnya ... Yang saya lihat sebagai pembaca adalah bahwa Margareth Mitchell memasangkan mereka yang 'setara.' Ayo bayangkan jika saja Ashley dan Scarlett bersama.

Sepanjang liburan membaca 4 seri Gone With The Wind dan ... Kesimpulannya adalah ada hal yang jauh lebih buruk dari tidak mendapatkan apa yang diinginkan yaitu mendapatkannya disaat tak lagi diinginkan. Dan, cinta yang begitu besar sanggup membutakan dan membuat hilangnya akal. Seperti Gerald ketika kehilangan Ellen dan Rhett saat kehilangan Bonnie.

Aku suka kisah ini dan ini membuatku berjanji pada diri sendiri untuk sungguh-sungguh belajar sejarah perang saudara Amerika. Sejarahnya, menurutku jauh lebih seru dibanding kisah cinta Scarlett. Secara pribadi aku tidak menyukai Scarlett, dia seperti Anna Karenina atau Bella Swan, mereka menawan hanya saja terlalu mengikuti perasaan, dan untunglah Scarlett memiliki keberanian. Scarlett terlalu tangguh untuk bertahan hidup tapi menyangkut masalah cinta, betapa payah dan tololnya dia.

Terlalu banyak yang aku bocorkan, hehehe. Buku ini bagus dan harus dibaca. Aku suka rasanya menjadi bagian yang bisa mencicipi kehidupan di Tara, merasakan emosi para tokohnya dan yaampun betapa Melly sungguh layak disayangi, dan setelah kupikir jika aku memilih tokoh yang mirip denganku maka aku adalah Ashley, kita menjadikan buku sebagai benteng tapi untuk menghadapi kenyataan hidup kita tak cukup tangguh. Kita hanya bisa bersembunyi di balik kelembutan orang yang kita cintai.

Di lain waktu, mungkin aku harus membaca buku ini sekali lagi. Layak untuk dibaca berulang kali☺

cerita gone with the wind pada awalnya sangat membosankan. seperti roman, sejarah keluarga dikupas habis-habisan dan sangat membosankan. karena terpengaruh oleh gaya bahasa yang membosankan itu, saya pun melewati beberapa bagian untuk mencari nama 'Rhett Butler' (haha) dan menikmati seluk beluk awal percintaan mereka. Begitu pula dengan bagian perang yang membosankan jua saya lewatkan..

kata-kata Margaret Mitchell sungguh nyaman dan enak dibaca. saya betul-betul ter-absorbed ke dalamnya...
tapi sayang sekali akhir ceritanya menyedihkan. seandainya saja scarlett lebih pintar mengatur dirinya sendiri.

lewat gone with the wind saya jadi mengenal sedikit sejarah amerika dan tentang perbudakan disana. sungguh menyedihkan tentang sistem kasta hitam putih itu. bahkan orang-orang kulit hitam yang dibeli sebagai budak pun menghina mereka yang bebas. mereka tidak malu memanggil bangsa mereka sendiri negro. dan mereka juga jelas-jelas menganggap tuan mereka adalah dewa. menyedihkan sekali...

bagaimanapun buku ini berbobot (dalam arti sebenarnya karena tebalnya... astaganaga) dan patut dibaca :)

jadi pngen nonton filmnya.

"Harta karun" hasil berburu di IIBF. Kesan-kesan awal:

1. Dapet informasi yang wow tentang gaya hidup & kehidupan sosial masyarakat daerah Selatan Amerika tahun 1860-an.
2. Dapet informasi wow tentang Perang Sipil Amerika (that i barely noticed before)
3. Punya tokoh utama yang sama-sama egois dan pendendam, jadi agak keinget sama Wuthering Heihts. Main couple-nya juga sama-sama 'nggak beres' sifatnya. ScarRhett lebih drama (?), tapi sejauh ini galaunya masih menang WH sih.


Bukunya masih panjang.

Simply great, back then in 1940s or even now in 21st century. Everlasting love-hate relationship. What can I say for more?
