The Awakening and Selected Stories - Kate Chopin

Widely censured at the time of its publication in 1899, Kate Chopin's The Awakening is an evocative story of self-discovery and female emancipation that has since become one of the most popular classics in the American canon. The Awakening este o poveste remarcabil de moderna, despre auto-descoperire si emancipare feminina. Actiunea este situata in sudul statului Louisiana, unde tanara Edna Pontellier isi recapata propria individualitate, refuzand sa fie definita de rolurile de sotie si mama.
