The Turkish translation was prepared by Hilmi Ziya Ülken and Avni İnsel. Bibliographic records identify this publication as the first Turkish edition, issued in three volumes. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet against the American Civil War and its aftermath, the novel follows Scarlett O'Hara, the strong-willed daughter of a wealthy Southern plantation owner, as she struggles to survive the destruction of the world she once knew. Her complicated relationship with Rhett Butler forms one of the central elements of the story, while the novel explores survival, ambition, love, loss, and social transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1936, Gone with the Wind became one of the most famous novels of 20th-century American literature. This early Turkish edition is particularly interesting for collectors because it belongs to the first Turkish publication of Mitchell's celebrated novel and reflects the history of foreign literature in Turkish publishing during the early 1940s. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book offered here has been subsequently rebound in hardcover. The original Hilmi Kitabevi edition was issued in softcover, so the present hardcover binding is a later custom binding rather than the original publisher's binding. This distinction is important for collectors of early Turkish editions, as the original softcover format is part of the publication's original physical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e• Original Title: Gone with the Wind\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Turkish Title: Rüzgar Gibi Geçti\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Publisher: Hilmi Kitabevi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Publication Year: 1942\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Edition: First Turkish Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Publication Location: Istanbul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Translators: Hilmi Ziya Ülken; Avni İnsel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Language: Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Format: Hardcover, later custom binding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Original Format: Softcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Genre: Historical Fiction; Romance; Epic Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Setting: American Civil War and Reconstruction Era\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Themes: Survival; Love; Ambition; War; Loss; Social Change\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Collector Appeal: First Turkish edition of Margaret Mitchell's landmark novel; originally issued in softcover and subsequently rebound in hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49893416665226,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_4dd07703-59c8-4c15-b08a-9dafac6cc581.jpg?v=1786277757","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/margaret-mitchell-gone-with-the-wind-1942-1st-turkish-book-turkey","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
