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.
Download or read book In Search of Rhett Butler written by Sharron Haynes and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What typical Southern girl who grew up in the decades of the 40's and 50's hadn't wanted to be Scarlett O'Hara - especially if she happened to be the namesake of that character? Born on the very day and at the precise time Gone With the Wind premiered in Atlanta, Scarlett Harwood's destiny had simply collided with the stars, or so went the thinking of her dreamy-eyed, melodramatic young mother whose address was Cloud Nine. It was on her fifteenth birthday that Scarlett Harwood finally saw the movie from which her name had come. From the moment Vivien Leigh's character materialized on the screen until the credits rolled, the girl was mesmerized, dumbstruck by the twinship she saw between herself and that young belle. It felt to her like someone had crawled inside her head, excised her brain, and planted it in the head of Scarlett O'Hara. She left the theatre that day still dabbing her tears, convinced that she was the reincarnation of the heroine - with one exception. She was smarter. She would never repeat O'Hara's mistakes. Never. Neither would she repeat those of her mother, Tessa. She would get it right. Unlike both Scarlett O'Hara and Tessa, once she found her perfect man, she would never let him go. That was the plan. Then came Jacob Stevenson.

The heroes find themselves immersed in a milieu with classmates young enough to be their children, bureaucrats who out of touch, and administrators struggling to adhere to their own proclaimed values. The Morality Police soon discovers a sinister plot to overthrow The Four Commands, which all Zealots are sworn to uphold, and an evil spirit of entitlement that threatens to destroy the foundations of medicine.

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.

Historians and social scientists have endeavored to decipher the "enigma" of the region and to identify the formative factors that have molded the southern experience.They have searched for a "central theme" that would explain southern behavior and have debated the extent to which the region was "distinctive" from the rest of the nation. More recently, historical scholarship has shown a growing interest in the evolution of southern culture and the forces that shaped it. The southern enigma is yet to be fully deciphered, but The Evolution of Southern Culture addresses questions crucial to an understanding of the region's history.

Genovese, Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Eric Foner, Nell Irvin Painter, George M. Frederickson, Joel Williamson, Bertram Wyatt-Brown

This book was released on 2013-02-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to his death in 1993, Vincent Price was collaborating with Mr. Joel Eisner (author of the over 100,000 copy bestselling Official Batman Batbook concerning the ‘60’s Adam West Batman television series) to construct a definitive, official biography of his life and career in films. This is that book. Sanctioned by the Vincent Price Estate and daughter Victoria, THE PRICE OF FEAR is not only told through journalist Eisner’s personal interviews with Price himself but with the cooperation, direct interviews and quotes from many of those with whom Price worked with throughout his illustrious career. Before he passed away, all Vincent saw of this book was his fellow actor Peter Cushing’s heartfelt foreward. Introducing the true story of a man born within a moderately wealthy family of candy manufacturers in 1911 St. Louis, Missouri, whose interest in theatre during the Great Depression led him into eventually becoming, arguably, the most universally iconic personification of the horror genre in the entire encompassment of the 20st Century. That man was Vincent Leonard Price, Jr. What you now hold in your hands is the only authorized, official biography about Vincent Price’s entire life in films ever published in history with his direct participation and approval, in his own words. Never before has the story of Vincent’s life been told, how he rose from dramatic theatre and stage to joining the ranks of the early cultured Hollywood elite fresh from where motion pictures were first spawned to eventually spend his life behind horrifying makeup and horror genre movie roles at the sacrifice of a greater passion for fine art and comedy. For nearly a century, we’ve known the name. We’ve heard the voice. We’ve seen the many faces. At last, with The Price of Fear: The Film Career of Vincent Price, in His Own Words, we can know the man, directly from the legend himself, in this never-before-published highly entertaining and inspirational masterpiece.
