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.

人真是怪。十幾年前讀《飄》的時候,我是喜歡郝思嘉的。可最近,無意中拿起舊書重讀,卻深深地被媚蘭吸引住瞭。難道是年齡的緣故,人的思想真的會改變的嗎? 哪個年輕女孩看瞭《飄》不喜歡郝思嘉呢?漂亮不說,又聰明倔強,周圍總有男人圍繞著。特彆是有瑞德這樣有魅...
評分看這個大部頭時我在想為何作者給女主人公取Scarlett這樣的名字。也許scarlet(鮮紅色)象徵她鮮明的叛逆性格,也許scar能反映齣她飽受感情的創傷。給男主人公起Ashley這個名字,作者Mitchell也應蘊含深意,Scarlett對Ashley的迷戀最終不是化為灰燼(ash)嗎。Ashley就像泡沫,...
評分世上是否真的有一種感情,叫,當我喜歡著你時,你也恰好喜歡著我。 斯嘉麗始終覺得自己不愛瑞德,也不可能愛上他。 瑞德愛得很深也藏得很深。 前者成長得太慢,後者等得太過絕望。 斯嘉麗和瑞德是絕配,但終究還是錯過。 女兒的離開對瑞德來說是沉痛的打擊唯一的精神支柱倒塌,...
評分這是一本教科書,關於生存和生活,關於自強和鬥爭,關於友情和愛情,關於包容和忠貞,很多都能從書中找齣解答。 看到太多關於Scarlett勇敢堅強的說辭,不是想特立獨行,我理解Scarlett,包括她的驕縱和自私,是因為瞭解她所遭遇的一切,但是也並不想贊賞她的勇敢或者堅強。 的...

剛纔理書櫃翻齣來,是高二買的生平第一本原版小說。打五顆星全齣於對當時這本書帶給我樂趣的迴憶。。。。
評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?
評分每天2%的進度,花瞭一個多月終於看完。很多年以前讀中文版的時候是為倆人的愛情動容,Captain Butler簡直就是少女心中的完美情人。重讀原版,故事的某些文化精神內核開始顯現齣來,比如故鄉Tara和那片紅土地帶給Scarlett的力量,比如一個在戰爭中毀滅又迅速重生的城市的新舊碰撞,比如3K黨誕生的曆史背景……經典的書是需要重讀的,不同時期會有不同的體會,這就是閱讀的魅力。
評分最愛
評分Scarllet is one part of me.
