The spoiled girl from the Tara plantation always gets what she points to – except for the educated Ashley, because he has already pledged himself to Melanie. When the young man politely rejects her, the offended Scarlett's sulking and her stubborn attempts to marry someone else, not to mention her exemplary bulldog persistence, do not help. To her humiliation, a man of the same ilk inadvertently witnesses the scene: the unacceptable loner, brash and adventurous Rhett Butler, whose predatory methods the heroine would like to explore further. And so fate mischievously intervenes. The war between the Confederacy and the Union breaks out, and women in the bleeding hinterland are expected to show the same courage as men in the field, and both stubborn individuals find themselves in each other's wounds more than they wish. The most imaginative love epic in American literature quickly evolves under the pressure of front-line events into a coming-of-age novel, in which the dramatic twists of Scarlett's relationship with Rhett also reveal a way for the South to heal from its self-love. From the intoxicating self-love doomed to a devastating whirlwind, so that the selfish can finally learn to love others regardless of differences…
