The Awakening

The Awakening pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

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.

"This seems to me a higher order of feminism than repeating the story of woman as victim... Kate Chopin gives her female protagonist the central role, normally reserved for Man, in a meditation on identity and culture, consciousness and art." -- From the introduction by Marilynne Robinson.

First published in 1899, this beautiful, brief novel so disturbed critics and the public that it was banished for decades afterward. Now widely read and admired, The Awakening has been hailed as an early vision of woman's emancipation. This sensuous book tells of a woman's abandonment of her family, her seduction, and her awakening to desires and passions that threated to consumer her. Originally entitled "A Solitary Soul," this portrait of twenty-eight-year-old Edna Pontellier is a landmark in American fiction, rooted firmly in the romantic tradition of Herman Melville and Emily Dickinson. Here, a woman in search of self-discovery turns away from convention and society, and toward the primal, from convention and society, and toward the primal, irresistibly attracted to nature and the sensesThe Awakening, Kate Chopin's last novel, has been praised by Edmund Wilson as "beautifully written." And Willa Cather described its style as "exquisite," "sensitive," and "iridescent." This edition of The Awakening also includes a selection of short stories by Kate Chopin.

我不知道该如何评论Edna这个女性,正如首页上有读者写到,醒了却还是困着的,所以呢,与其这样折磨自己,为什么不直接困顿着算了。 Edna的觉醒在我们现在看来完全是应该的,在父权社会下压制的女性开始慢慢的苏醒,意识到自己原来只是被丈夫视作了一个附属品,仅...

觉醒是辽宁教育出版社新万有文库中的一本,不到200页。译本也很好。译者是杨瑛美。 作者凯特肖邦。这本书出版于1899年。因为女性意识的觉醒 曾被禁止。我买大概是因为信任辽宁这套文库和便宜的价格,因为在买之前我对她一无所知。 小说说的是美国南方的一位夫人...

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...

It is to my interpretation but a sexual awakening rather than a feministic awakening
