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.

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.
人真是怪。十几年前读《飘》的时候,我是喜欢郝思嘉的。可最近,无意中拿起旧书重读,却深深地被媚兰吸引住了。难道是年龄的缘故,人的思想真的会改变的吗? 哪个年轻女孩看了《飘》不喜欢郝思嘉呢?漂亮不说,又聪明倔强,周围总有男人围绕着。特别是有瑞德这样有魅...
评分《飘》 我把这本书看作告别少女时代踏入成年的一道门槛。 任性、娇纵、固执、自私、爱打扮,骨子里遗传了先辈开拓者的男子气概。女主人公思嘉不但与文学作品中的女性不同,与世俗标准中的完美女性也不相同。从自己身上似乎也找不到相似之处。因为不同,不能轻易地喜欢——最抵...
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,...
评分 评分文/半夏微晴 《飘》,是真正的电影经典。 自从《甄嬛传》的播出火了,各种标榜大女主的电视剧就多了起来,随便数数就有以下这些:《芈月传》、《武媚娘传奇》、《锦绣未央》、《陆贞传奇》、《大唐荣耀》、《楚乔传》、《那时花开月正圆》…… 可是随着剧数目的增多,好评却不...
文字的底子到底还是差了点。。。
评分学生时代的最爱
评分有声书的存在真是太棒了
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。。。。
