Кейт Шопен

This story of a woman's struggle with oppressive social structures received much public contempt at its first release; put aside because of initial controversy, the novel gained popularity in the 1960s, some six decades after its first publication, and has since remained a favorite of many readers. Chopin's depiction of a married woman, bound to her family and with no way to assert a ful...

SHE WANTED TO SWIM FAR OUT, WHERE NO WOMAN HAD SWUM BEFORE. Condemned as ?sordid? and ?immoral? on its publication in 1899, this story of a woman trapped in her marriage effectively ended Chopin?s career but was revived as a proto-feminist classic in the 1970s.

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

Как и большинство великих произведен...

Kate Chopin?s riveting, daring story of one woman?s search for personal freedom was so far ahead of its time that its publication in 1899 aroused a storm of controversy violent enough to end its author?s career. With an effortless, sure-handed artistry, Chopin tells the story of Edna Pontellier, a young mother and model wife, whose romantic involvement with a young man during a vacation at a...

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.
