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...
評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,...
評分世上是否真的有一种感情,叫,当我喜欢着你时,你也恰好喜欢着我。 斯嘉丽始终觉得自己不爱瑞德,也不可能爱上他。 瑞德爱得很深也藏得很深。 前者成长得太慢,后者等得太过绝望。 斯嘉丽和瑞德是绝配,但终究还是错过。 女儿的离开对瑞德来说是沉痛的打击唯一的精神支柱倒塌,...
評分《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...
讀的第一本外文書
评分從女生的角度而言,我認為本書值得一看。首先,《飄》的精華在於創造瞭經典角色-艾希利。每個人內心都有對愛情的幻想,在於我心中他應該是怎樣怎樣怎樣的,然後那個“他”就被偶然的套在某個人身上。郝思嘉最後纔醒悟道:原來,我喜歡的愛情根本不存在。這其實是多少人的心聲啊!但不管怎樣,沉醉於自己的幻想,那也是一種美好的情懷,是一段有色彩的青春! 其次,郝思嘉的性格不論你喜歡與否,至少是值得藉鑒的。要在這個世界上站住腳,混得好,唯有該斷則斷,精明能乾,勤勞勇敢,這類人永遠不會被世界淘汰。 作為現代女性,可以不單單隻靠男人齣頭,而是靠頭腦與努力, 我想,郝思嘉若是活在當下,應該不再會因為生活壓力而對白瑞德的愛那麼麻木遲鈍後知後覺瞭吧。
评分Scarllet is one part of me.
