Cu actiunea plasata pe fundalul dramatic al Razboiului Civil american si al Reconstructiei, Pe aripile vantului, magnificul roman istoric al lui Margaret Mitchell, este o poveste de neuitat despre iubire si pierdere, despre o natiune divizata de pasiuni mortale si al carei destin va fi schimbat pentru totdeauna. Insa, mai presus de toate, e povestea frumoasei si lipsitei de scrupule Scarlett O'Hara si a galantului aventurier Rhett Butler, doua dintre cele mai celebre personaje din istoria literaturii anglo‑americane de la Romeo si Julieta, eroii lui Shakespeare. Pe aripile vantului este un roman pasionant, plin de viata, care le va starui in minte cititorilor mult timp dupa ce au intors ultima pagina. Cartea nu imi apartine. Multumesc pentru intelegere.

The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.
