Margaret Mitchell's epic novel of love and war won the Pulitzer Prize and went on to give rise to two authorized sequels and one of the most popular and celebrated movies of all time. Many novels have been written about the Civil War and its aftermath. None take us into the burning fields and cities of the American South as Gone With the Wind does, creating haunting scenes and thrilling portraits of characters so vivid that we remember their words and feel their fear and hunger for the rest of our lives. In the two main characters, the white-shouldered, irresistible Scarlett and the flashy, contemptuous Rhett, Margaret Mitchell not only conveyed a timeless story of survival under the harshest of circumstances, she also created two of the most famous lovers in the English-speaking world since Romeo and Juliet.
Margaret Mitchell Marsh
1900 - 1949
Born in Atlanta in 1900, Margaret Mitchell grew up surrounded by relatives who told endless tales of the Civil War and Reconstruction. She knew those who were relics of a de-stroyed culture, and those who had put aside gentility for survival. Her mother instilled in her that education was her only security. She attended Smith College but had to come home when her mother fell ill. After her mother's death, Margaret resolved that she had to make a home for her father and brother, so she left college and returned to Atlanta.
In 1923, she became a feature writer for the Atlanta Journal, and in 1925, she married John Marsh, a public relations officer for Georgia Power. She found most of her assignments unfulfilling, and she soon left to try writing fiction more to her own taste. Her own harshest critic, she would not try to get her work published. She began to write Gone with the Wind in 1926, while recovering from an automobile accident. Over the next eight years she painstakingly researched for historical accuracy.
She accumulated thousands of pages of manuscript. Here is how she later described her life's labor: "When I look back on these last years of struggling to find time to write between deaths in the family, illness in the family and among friends which lasted months and even years, childbirths (not my own), divorces and neuroses among friends, my own ill health and four fine auto accidents ... it all seems like a nightmare. I wouldn't tackle it again for anything. Just as soon as I sat down to write, somebody I loved would decide to have their gall-bladder removed. ... "
In 1934, an editor from Macmillan's Publishers came to Atlanta seeking new authors. He was referred to John and Margaret Marsh as people who knew Atlanta's literary scene. She steered him to several prospects, but didn't mention her own work. A friend told him that she was writing a novel, but she denied it. On the night before he was to leave Atlanta, she appeared at his hotel-room door with her still imperfect, mountainous manuscript and left it with him for better or for worse.

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 评分 评分玛格丽特·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,...
这本书的叙事像一条汹涌的大河,时而平静地流淌,映照着人物内心的细微涟漪,时而又卷起滔天巨浪,将所有人都卷入命运的漩涡。我特别佩服作者在描绘战争和重建时所展现出的历史厚重感,那不是冰冷的记录,而是带着体温和血泪的真实体验。故事中关于“失去”的主题贯穿始终,但重点不在于失去本身有多痛苦,而在于人们如何带着这份伤痛继续前行。角色之间的关系错综复杂,充满了背叛、依赖、误解和难以割舍的牵绊,这种情感的深度使得故事的张力持久不衰。它成功地将个人的情感悲剧,放大到了一个时代的集体记忆层面,让读者在为书中人物的命运唏嘘不已的同时,也能反思自身在面对巨大变故时的反应。这是一部值得反复阅读的作品,每一次重读,都会因为自身阅历的增长,而对其中某些情节点产生全新的、更深层次的共鸣。
评分初读此书,我完全被那种排山倒海般的情感张力所震慑。叙事节奏的处理堪称大师级,它懂得何时该疾风骤雨般推进情节,何时又该放慢速度,让角色在寂静中完成蜕变。书中对社会阶层变迁的描绘,其洞察力之深刻,令人拍案叫绝。它毫不留情地揭示了旧制度崩溃时的虚伪与脆弱,同时也歌颂了在新秩序中挺身而出的那份草根的、不加修饰的生命力。我特别喜欢那些充满张力的对话场景,字里行间充满了试探、火花和未言明的潜台词,每一句都掷地有声,像是精心打磨过的宝石,折射出角色之间复杂微妙的关系。不同地域、不同阶层的人物群像塑造得如此立体饱满,即便是配角,也拥有自己完整的故事线和令人难忘的性格侧面。读完后,我感觉自己像经历了一场漫长而真实的旅行,收获的不仅是故事,更有对人性弹性极限的深刻理解。
评分这部作品的语言风格有一种古典的韵味,即便是经过现代翻译,那种宏大叙事的气魄依然扑面而来。它成功地捕捉到了一个特定时代背景下,人们对物质和精神世界的双重渴求。我发现自己对书中描绘的那些奢华的场景和生活细节产生了强烈的画面感,那是一种逝去的美学,充满了精致的仪式感,而作者巧妙地将这种美学与即将到来的残酷现实进行了对比,形成了极具张力的戏剧效果。每一次角色的重大转折,都伴随着环境的剧变,使得人物的命运与历史的车轮紧密地捆绑在一起,无法分割。它不只是讲述了一个关于爱恨情仇的故事,它更像是一部关于“韧性”的教科书,展示了人类在面对不可抗拒的力量时,如何挣扎、如何妥协,又如何在废墟中重建自我价值体系。它的魅力在于其史诗般的广度和对微小情感的精准捕捉的完美平衡。
评分这部史诗般的巨著,简直是文字构建的奇迹,它以一种近乎油画般的质感,将那个逝去的南方世界活生生地呈现在我们眼前。阅读它,就像是亲身走进了那个繁华与凋敝交织的时代。作者的笔触极其细腻,无论是对人物内心挣扎的刻画,还是对宏大历史背景下个体命运沉浮的描摹,都达到了令人惊叹的深度。我尤其欣赏书中对人性的复杂探索,没有绝对的好人或坏人,每一个角色都在时代的洪流中做出了他们认为“对”的选择,即便是那些看似自私的行为,背后也往往隐藏着深深的生存本能和对美好事物的眷恋。那种在废墟中寻找希望,在绝望中迸发出惊人生命力的描写,真能触动人心最柔软的地方。每一次翻页,都感觉自己被卷入了一场盛大而悲怆的戏剧,那种感官上的冲击力是如此强烈,以至于合上书本后,很长一段时间里,我仿佛还能闻到夏日午后尘土飞扬的味道,听到优雅舞会上的轻柔音乐。这本书不只是一个故事,它是一扇通往另一个时空的门,让你沉浸其中,体验爱、失落、坚韧与重生的全部重量。
评分说实话,这本书的篇幅令人望而生畏,但一旦进入它构建的世界,时间仿佛失去了意义。最让我印象深刻的是作者构建的那个“南方之魂”——它既是美好的象征,也是一种致命的傲慢的体现。那种对过往荣耀的执念,最终如何成为压垮现实的重担,被描绘得淋漓尽致。我反复咀嚼着那些关于“家园”和“生存”的论述,它们超越了简单的爱情故事,上升到了哲学的高度。书中对女性角色塑造的复杂性也值得称道,她们不再是扁平化的符号,而是充满矛盾、欲望和超乎想象的适应力的个体。尤其是关键女性角色的那些看似冲动却充满智慧的决定,展现了在极端环境下,生存智慧如何超越传统道德的束缚。这本书的魅力在于,它从不试图给出简单的答案,而是把选择和评判的权利,完完全全地交给了读者,让你在合上书本后,依然需要时间去消化和整理内心的波澜。
评分A most heart-breaking ending, a love story I'll remember for the rest of my life.
评分Your blessing and your cross.
评分除了自己,一无所有。
