About this product

Product Information

First published in 1899, this beautiful, briefnovel so disturbed critics and the public that itwas banished for decades afterward. Now widely readand admired, The Awakening hasbeen hailed as an early vision of woman'semancipation. This sensuous book tells of a woman'sabandonment of her family, her seduction, and herawakening to desires and passions that threated toconsumer her. Originally entitled "A SolitarySoul," this portrait of twenty-eight-year-oldEdna Pontellier is a landmark in American fiction,rooted firmly in the romantic tradition of HermanMelville and Emily Dickinson. Here, a woman insearch of self-discovery turns away from convention andsociety, and toward the primal, from conventionand society, and toward the primal, irresistiblyattracted to nature and the senses TheAwakening , Kate Chopin's last novel, has beenpraised by Edmund Wilson as "beautifullywritten." And Willa Cather described its style as"exquisite," "sensitive," and"iridescent." This edition of TheAwakening also includes a selection ofshort stories by Kate Chopin. "This seems to me ahigher order of feminism than repeating the storyof woman as victim... Kate Chopin gives her femaleprotagonist the central role, normally reservedfor Man, in a meditation on identity and culture,consciousness and art." -- From theintroduction by Marilynne Robinson.

Very good book!
I bought this book because I had to read it for school. There was only minimal wear and tear on the sides, but it is still a very readable book. It not only includes The Awakening, but also some of the author's short stories as well. It was a great price that I couldn't pass up.

The Awakening
It's a wonderfully beautiful love story about a single mother who falls in love over summer, but who knew it would last. It's simply remarkable.
