《飘(英文版)(套装全2册)》讲述一个平凡女性的不平凡的人生历程,一曲缠绵悱恻而又一波三折的爱情故事,一部长盛不衰,历久弥新的文学经典。
Spring had come early that year, with warm quick rains and sudden frothing of pinkpeach blossoms and dogwood dappling with white stars the dark river swamp and far-off hills. Already the plowing was nearly finished, and the bloody glory of the sunsetcolored the fresh-cut furrows of red Georgia clay to even redder hues.
The moist hungry earth, waiting upturned for the cotton seeds, showed pinkish onthe sandy tops of furrows, vermilion and scarlet and maroon where shadows lay alongthe sides of the trenches. The whitewashed brick plantation house seemed an island setin a wild red sea, a sea of spiraling, curving, crescent billows petrified suddenly at themoment when the pink-tipped waves were breaking into surf. For here were no long,straight furrows, such as could be seen in the yellow clay fields of the flat middleGeorgia country or in the lush black earth of the coastal plantations.
Gone with the Wind is a novel by MargaretMitchell. Published in 1936, the book was animmediate success. Margaret Mitchell wasawarded a Pulitzer Prize for the novel in 1937,and Gone with the Wind was first adapted tofilm in 1939.
On June 30th in 1936, Margaret Mitchell'sGone with the Wind waspublished. It had beenextensively promoted, chosenas the July selection by theBook-of-the-Month Club, andso gushed about in pre-publication reviews——"GoneWith the Wind is very possiblythe greatest American novel,"said Publisher's Weekly-that it was certain to sell, andto provoke parody.
Mitchell was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Herchildhood, it seems, was spent in the laps ofCivil War veterans, and her maternal relatives,who lived through the war and the years tofollow. They told her everything about the warexcept that the Confederates had lost it. Shewas ten years old before making thisdiscovery.
She attended Smith College, but withdrewfollowing her final exams in 1919. Shereturned to Atlanta to take over the householdafter her mother's death earlier that year.Shortly afterward, she joined the staff of TheAtlanta Journal where she wrote a weeklycolumn for the newspaper's Sunday edition.
The book includes a vivid description of the fall of Atlanta in 1864 and the devastationof war (some of that aspect was missing from the 1939 film). The novel showedconsiderable historical research. According to her biography, Mitchell herself was tenyears old before she learned that the South had lost the war. Mitchell's sweeping narrativeof war and loss helped the book win the Pulitzer Prize on May 3, 1937.
Over the past years, the novel Gone with the Wind has also been analyzed for itssymbolism and mythological treatment of archetypes. Scarlett has been characterizedas a heroic figure struggling and attempting to twist life to suit her own wishes. Theland is considered a source of strength, as in the plantationTara, whose name is almost certainly drawn from the Hill ofTara in Ireland, a mysterious and poorly-understoodarcheological site that has traditionally been connected tothe temporal and/or spiritual authority of the ancient Irishkings. 内容简介

So, Ellen, no longer Robillard, turned her back onSavannah, never to see it again, and with a middle-agedhusband, Mammy, and twenty “house niggers” journeyedtoward Tara.
The next year, their first child was born and they namedher Katie Scarlett. after Gerald‘s mother. Gerald wasdisappointed, for he had wanted a son, but he neverthelesswas pleased enough over his small black-haired daughter toserve rum to every slave at Tara and to get roaringly, happilydrunk himself.
If Ellen had ever regretted her sudden decision to marryhim, no one ever knew it, certainly not Gerald, who almostburst with pride whenever he looked at her. She had putSavannah and its memories behind her when she left thatgently mannered city by the sea, and, from the moment ofher arrival in the County, north Georgia was her home.
When she departed from her father’s house forever, shehad left a home whose lines were as beautiful and flowingas a woman‘s body, as a ship in full sail; a pale pink stuccohouse built in the French colonial style, set high from theground in a dainty manner, approached by swirling stairs,banistered with wrought iron as delicate as lace; a dim, richhouse, gracious but aloof.
She had left not only that graceful dwelling but also theentire civilization that was behind the building of it, and shefound herself in a world that was as strange and different asif she had crossed a continent.
Here in north Georgia was a rugged section held by ahardy people. High up on the plateau at the foot of the BlueRidge Mountains, she saw rolling red hills wherever shelooked. with huge outcroppings of the underlying graniteand gaunt pines towering somberly everywhere.

故土与漂泊的史诗:一部跨越时代的家族传奇 这是一部深刻描绘了上世纪上半叶中国社会剧变中,一个精英家庭命运沉浮与个人情感挣扎的宏大叙事。故事以江南水乡周庄的深厚文化底蕴为背景,徐徐展开一幅既细腻又波澜壮阔的历史画卷。 本书聚焦于一个典型的旧式大家族——金家。他们是当地望族,世代承袭着文人雅士的清高与对传统礼教的坚守。然而,随着时代的洪流不可阻挡地涌入,这份宁静与秩序开始被无情地冲击。 核心人物的命运交织: 故事的核心围绕着金家长孙金彦西和他那充满悲剧色彩的妻子子昕展开。 金彦西,作为家族的继承人,他接受了良好的传统教育,却又深受西方思潮的影响。他聪明、敏感,对人生有着独特的见解,却也流露出那个时代知识分子普遍的软弱与逃避。他深爱着子昕,却又在世俗的压力和自身的情感困惑中摇摆不定,最终铸成了难以挽回的遗憾。 子昕,是全书中最具光彩和悲剧性的女性形象之一。她出身于一个相对清寒的士大夫家庭,被金家看重其才情和品德而娶入。子昕美丽、聪慧、内心坚韧,她以超乎年龄的成熟和对家庭的责任感维系着这个摇摇欲坠的结构。她渴望被理解、被珍视,但她的丈夫却无法给予她真正平等的精神共鸣。子昕的一生,是对传统女性“贤良淑德”束缚下,个体生命力挣扎与凋零的深刻描摹。她的“飘”与“守”,构成了家族情感世界中最动人心魄的篇章。 家族的兴衰与时代背景的烙印: 小说不仅是关于爱情和婚姻的悲歌,更是对二十世纪初中国社会转型期的深刻反思。 第一部分:旧世界的坚守与裂痕。 故事伊始,我们看到的是一个看似井然有序的封建大家庭内部的种种矛盾。长辈们的权威、小妾的争宠、丫鬟的命运,以及日益加剧的经济压力,都如同潜伏的暗流,预示着旧有结构的崩溃。金家努力想用过去的规矩来约束日新月异的生活,这种徒劳的抗争本身就充满了历史的宿命感。 第二部分:新思潮的冲击与个体的迷失。 随着新式学堂的兴起,年轻一代的价值观受到西方自由思想的洗礼。他们渴望个性解放,反对包办婚姻,追求精神契合。然而,当理想碰撞到现实的铜墙铁壁时,爱情的纯粹性往往显得不堪一击。彦西与子昕的婚姻困境,正是新旧思想交锋下的一个缩影——既无法完全回归传统,也无力建立全新的、稳固的精神共同体。 第三部分:战乱边缘的挣扎与远走。 随着时代的动荡,地域和政治的变迁加剧了人物命运的离散。家庭的经济基础被削弱,成员们不得不面对更为残酷的生存挑战。部分人物为了生计或理想,远赴上海、南京乃至海外,这种物理上的“飘零”,深刻映射了心灵上的无所依傍。 文学风格与主题探讨: 这部作品的语言风格典雅细腻,充满了浓郁的江南韵味。作者擅长运用白描和内心独白,将人物的心理活动刻画得入木三分。 主题上,本书着重探讨了以下几个深刻议题: 婚姻的本质: 它究竟是社会契约、家族责任,还是一种基于深厚情感的结合?子昕和彦西的悲剧,是对“无爱婚姻”的血泪控诉。 “传统”与“现代”的冲突: 知识分子如何在被视为“落后”的文化土壤中,寻求自我价值的实现,并平衡对故土的依恋与对新世界的向往。 女性的宿命: 优秀女性如何在家国、家庭、丈夫的多重期待下,被挤压、被消耗,最终走向毁灭或隐忍的终局。 本书并非仅仅讲述一个家庭的衰落,它以金家的缩影,折射出整个中国社会在二十世纪初经历的阵痛、觉醒与迷茫。它是一部关于爱与责任、理想与现实、坚守与放手的永恒悲歌,其情感的深度和对历史的关怀,使其成为中国现代文学中一座不可逾越的丰碑。读者在跟随这些人物的悲欢离合时,也将在字里行间感受到那片土地上,一代人所承受的沉重与无奈。
