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.
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...
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《乱世佳人》,即《飘》,即《Gone with the wind》。 究竟是什么东西gone with the wind了呢? 小说结尾,玫兰妮死了,瑞特-巴特勒离开了。斯佳丽二十八岁,决定要继续顽强地下去,“明天又是另外一天了。” 斯佳丽还会活下去的,她那么坚强,在哪里都活得下去。而逝去的,是...
评分这是一本教科书,关于生存和生活,关于自强和斗争,关于友情和爱情,关于包容和忠贞,很多都能从书中找出解答。 看到太多关于Scarlett勇敢坚强的说辞,不是想特立独行,我理解Scarlett,包括她的骄纵和自私,是因为了解她所遭遇的一切,但是也并不想赞赏她的勇敢或者坚强。 的...
史詩,從南方角度寫的史詩。一場悲哀的內戰,犧牲了一兩代人,給美國帶來了永久的和平。值得還是不值得,都隨風而逝了。P.S. 如果可能其實我更願意打4.5分而不是5分。
