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.
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,...

评分从前觉得女神在感情上任性傻气,才会望着水中月,不惜手边福。近来改变原先的想法,这段破裂的婚姻里,男神不用承担一点责任么? 瑞德娶思嘉的时候就如他所说,知道她心里有别人,他觉得婚后会让老婆爱上自己。可是他怎么做的呢?所行所为只有一个宗旨,就是不让老婆知道自己...
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...
把这么厚的英文书啃完真的超级过瘾!(虽然最后几章因为太迫切地想看下去很多句子单词已经没有深究了)还是得夸对白的感染力啊!!(真的要感谢读写课,在我看了个开头的时候正好上到美国南北战争,看到课文中熟悉的战场名称和战役名称真的超级亲切!还顺便研究了下美国地图,补了点地理知识= =)

评分少女时代的最爱,看原版也算圆了个梦。对比中学看外研社版不到三页就跪了,这些年我增长的岁数到底没全长在鹿鹿身上。

评分最开始不习惯看起来有点幼稚的文笔,感觉像高中生写的。到百分之四十之后才慢慢明朗: 作者知道自己在写什么。减一星是因为结尾部分太好看,之前的描写显得略拖沓了。
