Uncle Tom's cabin (uncle? Tom's cabin), gone with the wind and cold mountain.

1. "Gone with the Wind" takes Atlanta and a nearby plantation as the story scene and depicts the life of southerners in the United States before and after the Civil War. Through the love entanglement between Scarlett and Rhett, the civil war led by Lincoln and the social life in the southern United States were successfully reproduced.

Cold Mountain tells the story of a southern soldier named Inman who was seriously injured in the American Civil War. He fled the army and went through hardships to return to his hometown of Lengshan, just to meet his beloved love Ida.

Ida, on the other hand, spent an independent transformation period in the countryside where mountains and shadows crisscrossed, learned how to fight against the rough and sharp life, warmed up with Ruby, a mountain girl, in the cold mountains during the war, and lived a hard and happy life.

Uncle Tom's Cabin is the first American novel translated into Chinese, which is one of the fuses of the American Civil War and a classic work that affects the historical process.

Extended data:

The story of Gone with the Wind (also known as Gone with the Wind) began on the eve of the Civil War. At that time, the south was dominated by plantation economy and slavery, and Tara in the novel was a big plantation. There are two kinds of slaves in the plantation in the novel, one is a personal slave with high status, and the other is a bottom slave engaged in productive labor.

The former has a high position in the family, like a black mother, no less than a "half master" and is loyal to the master's family. In the description of the situation and status of slaves, Gone with the Wind is very different from Uncle Tom's Cabin, another classic about slaves.

Scarlett, Tara's oldest young lady, learned that her sweetheart Ashley was about to get engaged to her cousin Melanie. Scarlett, stubborn and negative about beauty, refused to give up. She boldly confessed to Ashley at the barbecue the next day, but she was ruthlessly rejected by the latter. Almost at the same time, another man who will play an important role in her life-Butler appeared.

Although it was a very unpleasant acquaintance-a typical mode of complaint, Mitchell did not devote himself to the emotional development of Scarlett and Butler. From the outbreak of the war to the end of the war, Scarlett quickly experienced two marriages: at the beginning of the war, she got married, had children and was widowed. At that time, the wayward Scarlett prematurely experienced the road that should have been completed by others in life.

War, poverty and hunger completely changed Scarlett. Facing the devastated Tara, Scarlett's heart has undergone a qualitative change, and the female consciousness and survival instinct inspired by adversity gradually began to shine.

After the war, a group of new "invaders" appeared in the southern society-these so-called "traitors, * *, parties and contractors" poured into the south in large numbers, engaged in economic speculation, disrupted the market, and instigated liberated slaves to take revenge on their original owners, so that hatred and suspicion grew rapidly in this place, which has always been known for its harmonious relationship between master and slave.

It is precisely because of the support of the northern military government that the south was greatly suppressed after the war and the social situation was turbulent. At the same time, another organization that will become a chronic disease in American society-the Klan is also quietly breeding.

Scarlett decisively robbed her sister's fiance, changed from a noble lady to a bold and shrewd businesswoman, and successfully saved Tara. With the increasing consolidation of economic status, Scarlett's true feelings are always nowhere to be placed. She has never fully understood the two most important men in her life: Ashley is like an ideal love. He always refuses, but it is beyond my power.

Butler, from misunderstanding and missing to misunderstanding and missing again, they went around and pursued each other's tortuous road of love until Scarlett was widowed for the second time many years later.

Scarlett didn't know until the end that she really relied on and really fell in love with Butler. It's a pity that Ashley always stood between them, and the pain of losing her daughter later, under various misunderstandings, Butler's love for Scarlett has been exhausted.
