Über das Buch
One woman's search for freedom shook the foundations of her world.
The Awakening and Other Stories (1899), by Kate Chopin, is a groundbreaking collection that challenged conventions of gender, marriage, and society at the turn of the 20th century.
At its center is The Awakening, the story of Edna Pontellier, a woman who dares to question her role as wife and mother in pursuit of personal passion and self-identity. Accompanied by a series of Chopin's short stories, the book paints vivid portraits of women's struggles, desires, and resilience in a world bound by expectation.
Praised for its honesty and artistry—and once condemned for its daring themes—Chopin's work has become a cornerstone of American literature and a powerful early voice of feminism.
Both lyrical and provocative, The Awakening and Other Stories remains as moving and relevant today as when it was first published.
