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.
《覺醒》肖班以主人公艾德娜·龐特裏耶的自我意識和性意識的覺醒為主題,大膽而又直率地從深層次探索瞭已婚女性的內心世界。這在當時的社會背景下無疑是驚世駭俗之舉。《覺醒》被尊為美國婦女文學最早的代錶性作品,成為女性文學的經典。《覺醒》為純正的英語版本。
[CVoices约稿 请勿转载] 这大概是我读过的最压抑的一本书。心像是被绑上了石块一样,随着情节不停地往下堕,往下堕。我读过不少生命无法承受之重,但是唯独这本书给我带来的无力感把我压得喘不过起来。读到结局的时候,我在发抖;写这篇书评的时候,我还在发抖。 多少...
評分 評分 評分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...
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...
很久之前看過的書瞭。艾德娜終於清醒地知道自己要的是什麼,可是羅伯特卻給不起。他浪費瞭她的勇氣和熱情,她便自盡於茫茫大海。以前是行屍走肉,後來成瞭孤魂野鬼,可到底是自由的,誰也攔不住她瞭。
评分自始至終都關注女主角的命運,細膩描寫瞭她由Angel in the house到the awakening lady的轉變。喜歡偶爾攙雜瞭法語的英文對話,新鮮有趣又非常必要。
评分本來讀起來覺得一般,但再瞭解作者發錶的背景,對於1899年這個年代確實是驚世駭俗瞭!
评分不是我的那杯茶。。。
评分跟《包法利夫人》一個主題
