Introduction by: Rachel Adams
When it first appeared in 1899, Kate Chopinโs The Awakening was greeted with cries of outrage. The novelโs frank portrayal of a womanโs emotional, intellectual, and sexual awakening shocked the sensibilities of the time and destroyed the authorโs reputation and career. Many years passed before this short, pioneering work was recognized as a major achievement in American literature.
Set in and around New Orleans, The Awakening tells the story of Edna Pontellier, a young wife and mother who, determined to control her own life, flouts convention by moving out of her husbandโs house, having an adulterous affair, and becoming an artist.
Beautifully written, with sensuous imagery and vivid local descriptions, The Awakening has lost none of its power to provoke and inspire. Additionally, this edition includes thirteen of Kate Chopinโs magnificent short stories.
