The Awakening, and Selected Short Stories

Description

Experience the definitive Kate Chopin collection that shaped American literature. The Awakening is one of the most important feminist novels ever written, following the awakening of Edna Pontellac in a society that refuses to let her be free. Its unflinching honesty about female desire and independence made it scandalous in 1899 and keeps it relevant today.\n\nAlongside the novel, this edition includes a selection of Chopin's shorter fiction that showcases her mastery of the short story form. Her prose is elegant, sharp, and deeply observant of the human condition. This EPUB edition lets you carry her complete vision on any device.
