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.
我从小学习成绩优秀,却从不读书,不看名著,没耐心,没毅力,看得最多的是教材,读得最多的是为了应付考试强迫自己看的励志故事和优美句子。奇怪的是,工作以后我对名著的兴趣与日剧增,开始勤勤恳恳地阅读名著,在地铁公车站等车坐车的时刻,下班回家后消闲的时间。虽...
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...
评分假如,当年出演斯嘉丽的是凯瑟林赫本,而阿希里的演员不是那么老而且一如原著里描写的,一个金发璧眼的骑士般的美男子,那么会不会有如此多的人说,我爱瑞特,我喜欢斯嘉丽。 真的么,当真女人喜欢瑞特,而不是阿希里?希望做斯嘉丽,这个我相信,但是现实中真有哪个男人会象瑞...
评分与多数女性读者不同的是,我曾经非常钟爱艾希礼。 中学时代的钟爱也很简单,他干净英俊斯文儒雅有学问,尤其与有留胡子的不斯文大叔对比,白马王子的形象更加鲜明。 甚至他的那些烦恼,听上去也是那么高级:别人的烦恼范围至多扩展到今年的棉花比去年少收多少斤或者给哪里自家...

中学时读是看故事,现在重温,看到的更多是困境中的抉择,自己人生经历的丰富让我更明白这些抉择的真实和沉重。一心向前看的人不会为过去所羁绊,但可能因而轻易放弃润物细无声的珍贵的东西;活在过去的人不必面对价值观撕裂的痛苦,但也因而失掉成长的活力。两种极端都不会让人幸福,学会平衡这两者可能才是真谛吧?毕竟经历过这一切的scarlett才28岁,她之后的人生会是什么样呢?
评分最爱
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。。。。
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。
