Krátky popis
A new edition of Kate Chopin's controversial masterpiece, an
essential novel in the canon of early feminism--with an
introduction by Carmen Maria Machado, award-winning author of Her
Body and Other Parties.",Whatever came, she had resolved never
again to belong to another than herself.", With its forthright
treatment of sex and depression, The Awakening, first published in
1899, was so shocking to turn-of-the-century readers that it was
neglected for decades. Rediscovered in the 1960s, this brief,
beautiful novel is considered a landmark of early feminism. It is
the story of Edna Pontellier, a twenty-eight-year-old wife and
mother of two who--with devastating consequences--rejects her
conventional married life for a transgressive path of
self-discovery. Edna is vacationing with her husband and children
on the Louisiana Gulf Coast when she meets and falls in love with
the passionate, impulsive Robert Lebrun. Afterward, Edna can no
longer find meaning and satisfaction in her comfortable domestic
life and moves out, alone. Her tragic quest for personal, creative,
and erotic freedom is at the heart of this now-classic novel which
captures women's desires with extraordinary frankness, sympathy,
and intensity. The Modern Library Torchbearers series features
women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and
a spirit of resistance.
