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.
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...
評分与多数女性读者不同的是,我曾经非常钟爱艾希礼。 中学时代的钟爱也很简单,他干净英俊斯文儒雅有学问,尤其与有留胡子的不斯文大叔对比,白马王子的形象更加鲜明。 甚至他的那些烦恼,听上去也是那么高级:别人的烦恼范围至多扩展到今年的棉花比去年少收多少斤或者给哪里自家...
評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,...

評分一个憧憬并执着追求爱情的女人, 却不得不在生活的压力面前一次次的被叛自己的内心。 一个固执的、简直是执拗的女人, 也正因此而没有意识到自己的爱情。 一个被物质的困乏吓坏的女人, 在追求物质, 却无可指责, 因为这样的一个女人也是处心积虑的想要帮助自己爱的人, 却一...
學生時代的最愛
评分史詩,從南方角度寫的史詩。一場悲哀的內戰,犧牲瞭一兩代人,給美國帶來瞭永久的和平。值得還是不值得,都隨風而逝瞭。P.S. 如果可能其實我更願意打4.5分而不是5分。
评分中學時讀是看故事,現在重溫,看到的更多是睏境中的抉擇,自己人生經曆的豐富讓我更明白這些抉擇的真實和沉重。一心嚮前看的人不會為過去所羈絆,但可能因而輕易放棄潤物細無聲的珍貴的東西;活在過去的人不必麵對價值觀撕裂的痛苦,但也因而失掉成長的活力。兩種極端都不會讓人幸福,學會平衡這兩者可能纔是真諦吧?畢竟經曆過這一切的scarlett纔28歲,她之後的人生會是什麼樣呢?
评分把這麼厚的英文書啃完真的超級過癮!(雖然最後幾章因為太迫切地想看下去很多句子單詞已經沒有深究瞭)還是得誇對白的感染力啊!!(真的要感謝讀寫課,在我看瞭個開頭的時候正好上到美國南北戰爭,看到課文中熟悉的戰場名稱和戰役名稱真的超級親切!還順便研究瞭下美國地圖,補瞭點地理知識= =)
评分十遍譯文也比不上一遍原著帶來的震撼大
