Produktbeschreibung

Experience the Bold and Groundbreaking Voice of Kate Chopin. Set against the lush, atmospheric backdrop of late 19th-century Louisiana, The Awakening is a powerful exploration of one woman's search for identity and independence. Follow Edna Pontellier as she navigates the rigid societal expectations of Grand Isle and New Orleans, gradually "awakening" to her own desires, artistic soul, and the need for a life beyond the roles of wife and mother. This definitive collection also features Chopin's most celebrated short stories, including "The Storm" and "Désirée's Baby," showcasing her mastery of American Realism and her unflinching look at race, class, and gender. Originally controversial for its honest portrayal of female psychology, The Awakening is now recognized as a cornerstone of modern feminist literature and one of the most significant literary classics in the American canon. Immerse yourself in a story of courage, passion, and the high cost of freedom. Buy "The Awakening and Other Stories" today.

Autorenporträt

Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was born in St. Louis and spent much of her life in Louisiana. Widowed with six children at age thirty-two, she published stories and articles often set in the Creole culture of late-nineteenth-century New Orleans. The candor and sympathy with which she explored the contours of modern women's lives were unprecedented. So prescient were Chopin's fictions that, many decades after her death, they would become touchstones for second-wave feminism.
