Sometimes only remembered for the epic motion picture and "Frankly ... I don't give a damn," Gone with the Wind was initially a compelling and entertaining novel. It was the sweeping story of tangled passions and the rare courage of a group of people in Atlanta during the time of Civil War that brought those cinematic scenes to life. The reason the movie became so popular was the strength of its characters--Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, and Ashley Wilkes--all created here by the deft hand of Margaret Mitchell, in this, her first novel.
Margaret "Peggy" Mitchell was born on November 8, 1900 in Atlanta, Georgia. Her father was a historian and lawyer, and her mother was a suffragist. When she was 15, she wrote, "If I were a boy, I would try for West Point, if I could make it, or well I'd be a prize fighter - anything for the thrills."
In 1918, Mitchell graduated from Washington Seminary and began to study medicine at Smith College.
Margaret Mitchell's greatest contribution to literature was her "Gone With the Wind," which she began writing in 1926 and published in 1936. At the time of its publication, the book sold more copies than any other American novel in literary history. The story centers around the life and times of Scarlett O'Hara, a Southern woman. Mitchell was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.
The novel has been published in 40 countries, with many critical studies and articles.
玛格丽特·米歇尔一辈子只写了一本书,但是就因为这一本书她就永垂不朽了。米歇尔热情如火,狂野放纵,坦率无比。在《飘》里看不到让你反感的矫情和造作的抒情,也看不到道德的说教,米歇尔就是在酣畅淋漓地讲一个爱情故事,她没有野心,或者压根没有兴趣去描绘哪些崇高的东西...
评分 评分在家无聊,把《飘》给看完了,也算是弥补了儿时的一个遗憾。以前读书就像囫囵吞枣,一定要以最快的速度吸收最大的信息量。虽然知识的海洋依旧浩如烟海,我依旧像儿时一样对一切新鲜的东西充满渴望,但是现在却学会了慢下来,细细再把以前的东西读一读。真的发现每个年龄段看同...
评分看这个大部头时我在想为何作者给女主人公取Scarlett这样的名字。也许scarlet(鲜红色)象征她鲜明的叛逆性格,也许scar能反映出她饱受感情的创伤。给男主人公起Ashley这个名字,作者Mitchell也应蕴含深意,Scarlett对Ashley的迷恋最终不是化为灰烬(ash)吗。Ashley就像泡沫,...
评分名著之所以是名著,或许就是因为每个人都能从人物身上找到共鸣。在梅兰妮身上,我看到的是自己的影子。 矜持、羞怯、温柔、娇弱、修养,好像一切女性的美好品质都堆砌在她的身上,然而我却并不认为作者了解她。因为她没有写出梅兰妮的缺点,她深深压抑着自己的本性。她读书多,...
刚才理书柜翻出来,是高二买的生平第一本原版小说。打五颗星全出于对当时这本书带给我乐趣的回忆。。。。
评分读的第一本外文书
评分每天2%的进度,花了一个多月终于看完。很多年以前读中文版的时候是为俩人的爱情动容,Captain Butler简直就是少女心中的完美情人。重读原版,故事的某些文化精神内核开始显现出来,比如故乡Tara和那片红土地带给Scarlett的力量,比如一个在战争中毁灭又迅速重生的城市的新旧碰撞,比如3K党诞生的历史背景……经典的书是需要重读的,不同时期会有不同的体会,这就是阅读的魅力。
评分文字的底子到底还是差了点。。。
评分虽然是书摊上的盗版,但还是大爱~一遍遍的回味。
