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.
人真是怪。十几年前读《飘》的时候,我是喜欢郝思嘉的。可最近,无意中拿起旧书重读,却深深地被媚兰吸引住了。难道是年龄的缘故,人的思想真的会改变的吗? 哪个年轻女孩看了《飘》不喜欢郝思嘉呢?漂亮不说,又聪明倔强,周围总有男人围绕着。特别是有瑞德这样有魅...
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,...
评分再遇《飘》,对瑞德的那份狂热早已随年华消退,对斯佳丽的喜爱却被挖掘出来并且放大了。斯佳丽是真实的,她遵从于自己的意志做事,尽管她在母亲和艾希礼等人面前虚伪,但是谁在自己喜欢的人面前能够毫不掩饰呢。斯佳丽被环境激发出了她天性中的顽强坚毅,塔拉庄园中闪现的是...
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...
。。。。。。。。。。2010第一本书
评分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= =)
评分读的第一本外文书
评分感谢宝冢海瑞德夫妇的表演让我想看原著
评分文字的底子到底还是差了点。。。
