HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. ‘I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself.’ Heralded as one of the first instances of feminist literature and rejected at its time of publication by the literary set on grounds of moral distaste, Kate Chopin’s The Awakening caused consternation in 1899. Constrained and confined by the limitations surrounding marriage and motherhood in the late 1800s, Edna Pontellier begins to challenge the notion of femininity through her thoughts and actions. Questioning her love for her husband, and opening herself up to the possibilities of other men and a life outside of societal convention leads to a gradual awakening of her desires. Chopin’s fascinating exploration of one woman challenging the expectation that surrounds her is powerful, daring and ultimately tragic in its conclusions. Moving, tender, but intrinsically ‘Austen’ in style, with it’s satirical portrayal of the vanity of society in eighteenth-century England, Persuasion celebrates enduring love and hope.

About the Author

Kate ChopinYazar · 4 books

Amerikan Edebiyatı'nda büyük öneme sahip kısa öykü yazarıdır. Amerikan kadınının ve bütün kadınların cinsel özgürlüğü ve hayatı vardır diyerek kendi zamanında feminizmin edebiyattaki en büyük temsilcisi olmuştur. Düşünceleri fazla sıradışı bulunduğu için muhafazakar Amerikalılar tarafından hoş karşılanmasa da, eserleri yazar öldükten sonra değer bulmuştur. En önemli kısa öyküsü The Storm'dur.
