Wounded and near death, a young Union Army corporal is found in the woods of Virginia during the height of the Civil War and brought to the nearby Miss Martha Farnsworth Seminary for Young Ladies. Almost immediately he sets about beguiling the three women and five teenage girls stranded in this outpost of Southern gentility, eliciting their love and fear, pity and infatuation, and pitting them against one another in a bid for his freedom. But as the women are revealed for what they really are, a sense of ominous foreboding closes in on the soldier, and the question becomes: Just who is the beguiled?

intrigante

- uma lástima não ter esse em português
- assisti as duas adaptações pra filme e acho uma lástima ainda maior a sofia coppola ter retirado a questão racial desse filme, que levanta uma questão tão importante e necessária
- praticamente engoli esse livro depois de "e o vento levou" e "história dos estados unidos"
