Kate Chopin, was born Katherine O'Flaherty in St. Louis on Feburary8,1851, of a prosperous Irish-born merchant father and an aristocratic Creole mother. She studied piano, wrote poetry, and read Dickens, Austen, Goethe, de Stael, and the Brontes. Despite her free spirit--she was once nicknamed the "littlest rebel" for yanking down a Union flag--Kate grew to be a leading social belle, admired for her wit and beauty.
In 1870 she married Oscar Chopin. Matrimony did not quell her independence; she dressed unconventionally, took long unchaperoned walks, and smoked cigarettes. In their twelve years of married life, she bore six children, and upon Oscar's sudden death in 1882 she took over the management of the Chopin family plantation in Natchitoches, Louisana. She turned seriously to writing shortly thereafter, publishing stories in Vogue and Atlantic Monthly. She wrote a novel, At Fault(1890), Bayou Folk, a collection of stories(1894), A Night in Acadie, a second collection (1897), and her masterpiece The Awakening(1899), which aroused a national scandal for its "indecency." Banned by libraries, it even prevented her admission into the St. Louis Fine Arts Club--even though Kate Chopin was famous for her literary salon, which attracted distinguished artists and writers from all over the country.
Always sensitive to criticism, Chopin was devastated by the furor that surrounded the publication of The Awakening, and its harsh reception ultimately caused her to stop writing. When she died in 1904, she had been denied the recognition she desperately wanted and richly deserved.
《万有文库(第一辑外国)--觉醒》和作者的其他作品 一样,在者在描绘美国南方路易西安那州的克里欧人(Creole)的人和事,克里欧人为法国移民后裔,都为贵族。艾德娜原本置身于法国式的上流社会中,生活的目的只有相夫教子、宴款宾客。在这样的一个社会里,女人的身份是因男人而定位;女人没有自我,而只是某人的女儿、姊妹、妻子、母亲,或情妇。这年夏天,艾德娜全家到新奥尔良南方约五十英里外的格蓝岛度假,邂逅劳伯特,终于燃起自我遥意识,不愿意再因循先生及社会的要求而扮演别人设定的角色。她勇敢的脱离常轨,一心去发展自己的艺术(绘画)潜能,追求自由、独立
心理活动太多,故事有点压抑,而且文笔也不太是我喜欢的风格。用词比较简单,篇幅不长(是不是长篇小说啊?篇幅这么短)就这俩点来说诚意推荐。总之,个人感觉是时代意义大于艺术价值。 kate chopin还写过短篇,有些还是很有意思的
评分今晚一口气读完《觉醒》这本书,原名为《孤独的灵魂》(A Solitary Soul)。在读之前并不知道还有这个如此喜欢的原名,就连作者是谁都不知道,对小说的背景也毫不了解。只是看着名字感觉还不错,页数也不是很多,应该可以在较短时间内读完,拿来练习一下速读应该还可以。没想到...

评分其实我还真没读太懂。但是结局就是terrible,这种悲剧真是听着就让人心升怖意
评分她想要的,就是一间自己的屋子吧
评分突然想起这本婚外恋小说,当年的女性解放小说,义无反顾的总是女人啊。。。
评分结局让我想到雨果<海上劳工>的最后一幕.
评分感觉书写的一般。这种觉醒往往都会被家庭责任和社会道德所困扰,即使是今天还是这样。
