Book Synopsis Original Scarlett O'Hara by : Nancy Smith
Download or read book Original Scarlett O'Hara written by Nancy Smith and published by Biblio Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've read about the Civil War from the American point of view---now read it from the European!Margaret Mitchell studied the Second Empire in writing her book Gone with the Wind. Both Eugénie and Scarlett were high-spirited and vivacious. They were frustrated by an elusive love and jealous of the women that their men preferred. ¿Desolate and sick of an old passion¿, they were unable to find married happiness and could only be ¿faithful in their fashion¿ so that their husbands found satisfaction elsewhere and Napoleon deliberately flaunted mistresses and marketed Paris as a city of sensual and luxurious delights, thereby creating its unique mystique.Scarlett¿s story crescendoed to the burning of Atlanta; Eugénie¿s crescendoed to the Franco-Prussian War. They each had to flee to save themselves. Scarlett had to weed and hoe and pick cotton; Eugénie had to sell her jewels and adapt to an austere lifestyle in England. The official name of Scarlett and Rhett¿s daughter was Eugénie Victoria (before they nicknamed her Bonnie Blue Butler). Both Scarlett and Eugénie wore hats purchased from the Parisian street rue de la Paix. Eugénie kept a secret man¿s photograph in her private boudoir; Scarlett kept a tintype of Ashley in a drawer of her dressing table. Both Scarlett and Eugénie lost a beloved child. The prime years of Eugénie and Scarlett were the same¿starting in 1861 when the South had just declared war; and 1861 when Eugénie became the most powerful woman in the world. The main theme of their lives was survival, with what Margaret Mitchell called ¿gumption¿. Comparing the women, you¿ll feel a sense of déjà vu.Mary Todd Lincoln tried to copy Eugenie¿s fashions from Godey¿s Lady¿s Book. She presented a magnificent ball emulating a Fête Impériale while her son Willie was mortally sick upstairs. She had her White House china bordered with solferino purple which Eugenie popularized, and spent some of her last years in Pau in the Pyrenees near Biarritz which Eugenie made famous.

Book Synopsis Scarlett O'Hara Can Go to Hell by : Miriam Center
Download or read book Scarlett O'Hara Can Go to Hell written by Miriam Center and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-03 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precisely as its title so unapologetically indicates, Scarlett O'Hara Can Go to Hell is not a Sunday stroll through myths of southern ladies waiting for heroic southern men to fill their lives with romance and adventure. If anything, it's the exact opposite mesmerizing tale of one woman's determination to re-write southern society's definition of what her life should or can be. Jewish by birth but free-spirited by temperament, the novel's heroine, Naomi Kramer, declares her independence from tradition only to discover that freedom comes with as many challenges and demands as it does rewards and privileges. From her immigrant grandfather's arrival in the United States in 1904 to Naomi's powerful spiritual awakening in the 1980s, readers are treated to a journey through the unfoldment of one unforgettable woman's life while simultaneously bearing witness to what history would come to call the American Century. In turns comically irreverent and soulfully inspiring, Scarlett O'Hara Can Go to Hell is one exceptionally enjoyable read.
Download or read book Ruth's Journey written by Donald McCaig and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Exquisitely imagined, deeply researched . . . brings to the foreground the most enigmatic and fascinating figure in Gone with the Wind. This is a brave work of literary empathy by a writer at the height of his powers, who demonstrates a magisterial understanding of the period, its clashing cultures, and its heartbreaking crises. ” —Geraldine Brooks, author of March The only authorized prequel to Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind—the unforgettable story of Mammy. On a Caribbean island consumed by the flames of revolution, an infant girl falls under the care of two French émigrés, Henri and Solange Fournier, who take the beautiful child they call Ruth to the bustling American city of Savannah. What follows is the sweeping tale of Ruth’s life as shaped first by her strong-willed mistress, and then by Solange’s daughter Ellen and Gerald O’Hara, the rough Irishman Ellen chooses to marry; the Butler family of Charleston and their unexpected connection to Mammy Ruth; and finally Scarlett O’Hara—the irrepressible Southern belle Mammy raises from birth. As we witness the lives of three generations of women, gifted storyteller Donald McCaig reveals a nuanced portrait of Mammy, at once a proud woman and a captive, a strict disciplinarian who has never experienced freedom herself. Through it all, Mammy endures, a rock in the river of time. Set against the backdrop of the South from the 1820s until the dawn of the Civil War, here is a remarkable story of fortitude, heartbreak, and indomitable will—and a tale that will forever illuminate your reading of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind.

Book Synopsis The Search for Scarlett O'Hara: Gone with the Wind and Hollywood's Most Famous Casting Call by : Rupert Alistair

This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'GONE WITH (the) WIND' ENTHRALLS AUDIENCE WITH MAGNIFICENCEThat is what the Atlanta Constitution newspaper ran as its banner headline in mid-December 1939, after the cream of the Hollywood crop joined the Southern city (and half of the southeast, according to some accounts) the previous evening to premiere the much-anticipated film that would take the country by storm. 1939 is considered the greatest year during the Golden Age of Hollywood due to the large amount of superb movies released during those twelve months. Among the dozens of films made and/or distributed in '39, Gone with the Wind held, by far, the highest profile. Arguably the greatest Hollywood movie ever made and the most financially lucrative with inflation taken into account, GWTW took two and a half years just to get to the point of filming. The largest aspect of this grand preparation was finding just the right woman to play the legendary character of Scarlett O'Hara, the fiery Southern belle who went from spoiled plantation girl to driven survivor. Practically the entire female population of Hollywood (and in many cases the rest of the nation) between the ages of 17 and 40 wanted to play the coveted role. The Search for Scarlett O'Hara: Gone with the Wind and Hollywood's Most Famous Casting Call delves into the interesting casting options and machinations of powerful men and glamorous women to fill the part of the century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Heartfelt and ever-endearing—equal parts information and inspiration. This is a book to keep by your bedside and return to often.”—Amy Dickinson, nationally syndicated advice columnist "Ask Amy" More than one thousand extraordinary Americans share their stories and the wisdom they have gained on living, loving, and finding happiness. After a chance encounter with an extraordinary ninety-year-old woman, renowned gerontologist Karl Pillemer began to wonder what older people know about life that the rest of us don't. His quest led him to interview more than one thousand Americans over the age of sixty-five to seek their counsel on all the big issues- children, marriage, money, career, aging. Their moving stories and uncompromisingly honest answers often surprised him. And he found that he consistently heard advice that pointed to these thirty lessons for living. Here he weaves their personal recollections of difficulties overcome and lives well lived into a timeless book filled with the hard-won advice these older Americans wish someone had given them when they were young. Like This I Believe, StoryCorps's Listening Is an Act of Love, and Tuesdays with Morrie, 30 Lessons for Living is a book to keep and to give. Offering clear advice toward a more fulfilling life, it is as useful as it is inspiring.

Scarlett is all puppy and gets into trouble daily with funny antics, like making up her own hunting games, retrieving neighbors belongings, including, but not limited to meals. Every day is an adventure in her life and she never stops exploring. Rhett is very low key and often the object of Scarlett's playfulness. He describes what he has to put up with Scarlett, but loves her "because she is his little sister." Eventually, another dog comes to their home and adopts Scarlett and the family. This is an unusual and happy story. This is the first book of a series of the life and adventures of Scarlett, Rhett and company. The book is warm, witty and appeals to both children and pet loving adults.
Download or read book Frankly, My Dear written by Molly Haskell and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haskell keeps both novel and movie at hand, moving from one to the other, comparing and distinguishing what Margaret Mitchell expresses from what obsessive producer David O. Selznick, directors George Cukor and Victor Fleming, screenplaywrights Sidney Howard and a host of fixers (including Ben Hecht and Scott Fitzgerald), and actors Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Hattie McDaniel, and others convey. She emphasizes the contributions of Selznick, Leigh, and in an entire chapter, Mitchell, drawing heavily and analytically on existing biographies, the literature of women and the Civil War, Civil War films (especially Birth of a Nation and Jezebel), and film criticism to such engaging effect as to not just revisit GWTW but to revive and intensify the enduring fascination of what Selznick dubbed the American Bible. --Olson, Ray Copyright 2009 Booklist.
