The Awakening and Selected Stories
Description
Chopin's classic American novel "The Awakening" (1899) and some of her short stories published previously. From the publisher: "'The Awakening' shocked turn-of-the-century readers and reviewers with its treatment of sex and suicide. In a departure from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine's desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class convention are themes of this now-classic novel."
