Inhaltsangabe

On vacation in Grand Isle, Louisiana, a married woman falls in love with a charming, attentive young man. The relationship spurs Edna Pontellier to explore her longing for independence and creative fulfillment. It also compels her to defy conventions, rejecting the constraints of marriage and motherhood.

First published in 1899, Kate Chopin’s novel drew criticism for its daring portrayal of female infidelity. Rediscovered decades later, it is now lauded for its lyricism, honesty, and astute social commentary. A groundbreaking feminist work and a landmark of modernist literature, The Awakening depicts one woman’s journey to define her true self.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Awakening, this edition of The Awakening (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Kate Chopin (1850–1904) was an American writer of short stories and novels, and today she is hailed as a forerunner of modern feminist authors. Born in Saint Louis, she moved with her husband to New Orleans and later to Cloutierville, Louisiana, which later became the setting for much of her work. After her husband’s death, she began writing short stories that were published in prestigious magazines of the time and in two collections, Bayou Folk and A Night in Acadie.

Her second novel, The Awakening, was published in 1899, and it was immediately subject to controversy and criticism for its sexual frankness and portrayal of female infidelity. Rediscovered and championed by scholars decades later, it is now acclaimed for its insight, sensitivity, and candor.
