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.

评分 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,...
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...
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。
评分有声书的存在真是太棒了
评分十遍译文也比不上一遍原著带来的震撼大
评分中学时读是看故事,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?
