Gone With the Wind《飄》是美國女作傢瑪格麗特·米切爾十年磨一劍的作品，也是惟一的作品。小說以亞特蘭大以及附近的一個種植園為故事場景，描繪瞭內戰前後美國南方人的生活。作品刻畫瞭那個時代的許多南方人的形象，占中心位置的斯佳麗、瑞德、艾希禮、梅勒妮等人是其中的典型代錶。他們的習俗禮儀、言行舉止、精神觀念、政治態度，通過對斯佳麗與白瑞德的愛情糾纏為主綫，成功地再現瞭林肯領導的南北戰爭，美國南方地區的社會生活。

Since its original publication in 1936, Gone With the Wind—winner of the Pulitzer Prize and one of the bestselling novels of all time—has been heralded by readers everywhere as The Great American Novel.
Widely considered The Great American Novel, and often remembered for its epic film version, Gone With the Wind explores the depth of human passions with an intensity as bold as its setting in the red hills of Georgia.
