The awakening, and other stories
About this book
? "The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander." ?
Kate Chopin's The Awakening and Other Stories is a groundbreaking collection that captures the emotional depth, sensuality, and independence of women at the turn of the 20th century—a work far ahead of its time that continues to inspire and challenge readers today.
At its center is The Awakening, the story of Edna Pontellier, a woman torn between the expectations of society and her longing for self-expression, passion, and freedom. Set in the lush atmosphere of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, Chopin's novel shocked her contemporaries with its frank portrayal of female desire and personal awakening.
Accompanied by a selection of her finest short stories—such as Désirée's Baby, A Pair of Silk Stockings, and The Story of an Hour—this collection reveals Chopin's keen insight into love, identity, motherhood, and the quiet rebellion of women seeking authenticity in a constrained world.
Written in prose both lyrical and precise, The Awakening and Other Stories remains a cornerstone of feminist literature and one of the most powerful works in American fiction—a celebration of courage, individuality, and the human spirit's longing for liberation.
