'The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering,
clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in
abysses of solitude' When 'The Awakening' was first published in
1899, charges of sordidness and immorality seemed to consign it
into obscurity and irreparably damage its author's reputation. But
a century after her death, it is widely regarded as Kate Chopin's
great achievement. Through careful, subtle changes of style, Chopin
shows the transformation of Edna Pontellier, a young wife and
mother, who - with tragic consequences - refuses to be caged by
married and domestic life, and claims for herself moral and erotic
freedom. The Penguin English Library - collectable general readers'
editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth
century to the end of the Second World War.
