The Awakening
And Other Stories
'She wanted to swim far out, where no woman had swum before.' Kate Chopin was one of the most individual and adventurous of nineteenth-century american writers, whose fiction explored new and often startling territory. When her most famous story, The Awakening, was first published in 1899, it stunned readers with its frank portrayal of the inner word of Edna Pontellier, and its daring criticisms of the limits of marriage and motherhood. The subtle beauty of her writing was contrasted with her unwomanly and sordid subject-matter: Edna's rejection of her domestic role, and her passionate quest for spiritual, sexual, and artistic freedom. From her first stories, Chopin was interested in independent characters who challenged convention. This selection, freshly edited form the first printing of each text, enables readers to follow her unfolding career as she experimented with a broad range of writing, from tales for children to decadent fin-de siecle sketches. The Awakening is set alongside thirty-two short stories, illustrating the spectrum of the fiction from her first published stories to her 1898 secret masterpiece, 'The Storm'. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Awakening and Selected Stories
The groundbreaking depiction of a woman who dares to defy the expectations of society in the pursuit of her desire, with an insightful introduction by author Claire Vaye Watkins. <BR><BR>A Penguin Vitae Edition<BR><BR>When Kate Chopin's classic was first published in 1899, charges of sordidness and immorality seemed to consign it into obscurity and irreparably damage its author's reputation. But a century after her death, The Awakening is widely regarded as Kate Chopin's great achievement and a celebrated work of early feminist literature. Through careful, subtle changes of style, Chopin shows the transformation of Edna Pontellier, a young wife and mother, who - with tragic consequences - refuses to be caged by married and domestic life, and claims for herself moral and erotic freedom.<BR><BR>Penguin Classics launches a new hardcover series with five American classics that are relevant and timeless in their power, and part of a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from almost seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

Das Erwachen
Edna Pontellier scheint alles zu haben, was sich eine Frau
ihres Standes und ihrer Zeit nur wünschen kann: einen erfolgreichen Gatten, zwei kleine Söhne, ein großes Haus im wohlhabenden French Quarter. Und dennoch spürt sie seit ihrer Kindheit, dass da mehr sein muss als die bloße Anpassung an gesellschaftliche Gepflogenheiten. Als sie sich während der Sommerferien auf Grand Isle in den jungen
Robert verliebt, gelingt es ihr nach der Rückkehr in die
Stadt endgültig nicht mehr, in die Rolle der braven Ehefrau
und guten Mutter zurückzufinden. Edna beschließt, aus
dem goldenen Käfig auszubrechen. Sie beginnt zu malen
und lässt sich auf ein außereheliches Verhältnis ein. Doch
die neu entfachten Leidenschaften stellen nur einen Schritt
auf dem Weg zur Selbstfindung dar. Kann es für Edna überhaupt die freie Wahl und ein alternatives Leben geben?
- Wiederentdeckter Klassiker in vollständig überarbeiteter
Übersetzung
- Fesselnder Roman über den Bewusstwerdungsprozess
einer Frau vor der aufregenden Kulisse New Orleans' und der
Küste Louisianas
