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.
《萬有文庫(第一輯外國)--覺醒》和作者的其他作品 一樣,在者在描繪美國南方路易西安那州的剋裏歐人(Creole)的人和事,剋裏歐人為法國移民後裔,都為貴族。艾德娜原本置身於法國式的上流社會中,生活的目的隻有相夫教子、宴款賓客。在這樣的一個社會裏,女人的身份是因男人而定位;女人沒有自我,而隻是某人的女兒、姊妹、妻子、母親,或情婦。這年夏天,艾德娜全傢到新奧爾良南方約五十英裏外的格藍島度假,邂逅勞伯特,終於燃起自我遙意識,不願意再因循先生及社會的要求而扮演彆人設定的角色。她勇敢的脫離常軌,一心去發展自己的藝術(繪畫)潛能,追求自由、獨立
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
評分 評分《橘子红了》中看到一本书《觉醒》,它引导秀禾挣脱命运的枷锁,她的挣扎,她的探索在生命的最后一刻做了终结。那时候,耀辉正牵着新娘的手在众人的祝福声中步入教堂,空旷的拱形屋顶回荡着美妙的乐章。 信手就拿了这本书,一如平时,一切皆因直觉。全英文版本,字字句句...
評分读完《觉醒》,心底里有点压抑,更偏向凯特 肖邦一开始对于这部著作的命名《孤独的灵魂》。 或许读一遍着实不足以洞悉作者在塑造人物形象和叙述故事情节时的用心良苦,但我仍然想把内心的切实感受叙述一二。 女主人公艾德娜觉醒的过程在一个女人不以自己独存而...
評分这是一部在美国文学史上被“重新发现”的经典。出版于1899年,在“cult of womenhood”的时代,《觉醒》所受关注甚少,即便有,也是负面的评价。只在20世纪70年代女性主义盛行时,在女性主义者试图重新发现被忽略的女性作家及其作品、重建文学传统和经典的努力中,《觉醒》被经...
其實我還真沒讀太懂。但是結局就是terrible,這種悲劇真是聽著就讓人心升怖意
评分感覺書寫的一般。這種覺醒往往都會被傢庭責任和社會道德所睏擾,即使是今天還是這樣。
评分當時的驚世之作,現在看比較過時瞭。
评分生活應該是這樣一絲不變的嗎?
评分這書目……是肖班不是蕭邦,哪對哪呀
