Scarlett O’Hara vive en Tara, una gran plantación del estado sureño de Georgia, y está enamorada de Ashley Wilkes, que en breve contraerá matrimonio con Melanie Hamilton. Estamos en 1861, en los prolegómenos de la guerra de Secesión, y todos los jóvenes sureños muestran entusiasmo por entrar en combate, excepto el atractivo aventurero Rhett Butler. A Butler le gusta Scarlett, pero ésta sigue enamorada de Ashley, que acaba de hacer público su compromiso con Melanie. Despechada, Scarlett acepta la propuesta de matrimonio de Charles, el hermano de Melanie, al que desprecia. Años más tarde, y como consecuencia del final de la guerra, ya viuda, Scarlett debe afrontar situaciones nuevas como el hambre, el dolor y la pérdida e instalarse en Atlanta, donde Melanie espera noticias de Ashley y Butler aparece de nuevo...

The American Civil War and Reconstruction era provided the backdrop for one of the most widely read historical novels in twentieth-century fiction, Gone with the Wind. Written by Margaret Mitchell, the book explores southern life, wartime disruption, and social transformation through the experiences of its central characters in Georgia.
Margaret Mitchell was born on November 8, 1900, in Atlanta, Georgia, into a family deeply tied to the history of the American South. Her ancestral roots in Georgia extended back generations; her forebears fought in the American Revolution and the War of 1812, while her grandfather served in the Civil War. Raised on family stories of wartime struggles and local history, Mitchell attended Smith College in Massachusetts before returning to Atlanta, where she pursued a journalism career writing features for The Atlanta Journal in the 1920s.
In 1926, after an ankle injury left her temporarily immobilized, Mitchell began drafting the manuscript that would become Gone with the Wind. She worked quietly on the novel over several years, sharing the draft with few people until a publisher acquired it. Upon its publication in 1936, the novel became an unprecedented commercial success, earning the National Book Award for Most Distinguished Novel of 1936 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937. Mitchell passed away on August 16, 1949, after being struck by an automobile in Atlanta. Posthumous releases later brought her early novella Lost Laysen and collections of her journalism to public light.
Mitchell's narrative style reflects her background in journalism, combining direct pacing with detailed historical scene setting. Drawing on oral histories and family recollections gathered during her youth in Atlanta, she depicted the antebellum period, the destruction wrought by military conflict, and the economic realignments of the Reconstruction era.
Her work prominently explores themes of survival, adaptability, social shift, and personal determination under extreme hardship. Through the character of Scarlett O'Hara, Mitchell examined the choices individuals make when faced with the collapse of their accustomed social order, creating a story that achieved enduring global readership and inspired a landmark 1939 film adaptation.
