Publisher Description

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, Margaret Mitchell's great novel of the South is one of the most popular books ever written. Within six months of its publication in 1936, Gone With the Wind had sold a million copies. To date, it has been translated into 25 languages, and more than 28 million copies have been sold. Here are the characters that have become symbols of passion and desire: darkly handsome Rhett Butler and flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara. Behind them stand their gentler counterparts: Ashley Wilkes and Melanie Hamilton. As the lives and affairs of these absorbing characters play out against the tumult of the Civil War, Gone With the Wind reaches dramatic heights that have swept generations of fans off their feet. Having lived in Atlanta for many years, narrator Linda Stephens has an authentic ear for the dialects of that region. Get ready to hear Gone With the Wind exactly as it was written: every word beautifully captured in a spectacular unabridged audio production.

"Gone With the Wind by Margaret MitchellWho hasn’t seen the movie version of this book? Multiple times? I didn’t think the story could get more interesting and had never bothered to read the book itself. How wrong could I be? Apparently, very wrong!The book, and specifically the audio book, was so much better than the movie. Not only does the book have incredibly rich detail, but there are portions of the story that are never told, nor even hinted at, in the movie. How long is the movie? Doesn’t matter because the audio book is 49 hours and those 49 hours are totally engrossing. I could not stop listening and did so only if I absolutely had to. The Narrator, Linda Stephens, did an incredible job with the descriptions and the voices. She made the people come alive, each of them equally however different in personality and situation they may have been.I totally enjoyed this audio book and I’m so glad that I have it in my AudiobookStore library because this is a book I’ll be listening to many times."

Quotes

  • “A masterpiece demands a masterful reader, and the match between Gone with the Wind and Linda Stephens is perfect…Stephens delivers absolutely convincing accents of Southerners—white and black. Her timing is flawless, and her use of pause enhances the material in this unhurried, luxurious reading of a great American classic. Stephens is as much at home telling of the ravages of the Civil War as Margaret Mitchell was. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

    " Who doesn't love Gone With the Wind. Scarlet is such a great character you just want to smack her upside the head and knock some sense into her the entire time. It is a story of not realizing what you have until it's Gone...with the wind. It is an epic Historical Novel. Narration is excellent. "

    " Absolutely delighted with the ebb and flow narration of this book, right down to the singing of the songs mentioned in the story line. Definitely would give a higher rating than the five-star allowed for this stellar narration. "

    " Don't let the "Classic" title fool you. Yes, "Gone with the Wind" is a lot older than you. But there's a reason it remains one of the highest rated and most widely read "classic" on Goodreads. Part Romance Novel, part historical fiction, it's also one of the books you read about how complex protagonists can be. "
