The Awakening (Dover Thrift Editions) pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
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.

评分《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...

评分2013.4.16~2013.5.3这段时间献给Kate Chopin's The Awakening. 身体和心灵必须有一个在路上~
评分文风叙事风格都不是我的菜，但故事内容却和生活中认识的某人不谋而合，又是一部女性觉醒的故事。
评分无所谓什么觉醒不觉醒，一个女人觉得爱情让她重获新生，却又因为爱情远去放弃生命~how stupid woman's love can be~
评分Couldn't appreciate it: Because Edna is unable to reconcile the contrasting lifestyles of her two friends, she cannot achieve her dream of living an independent life without being isolated by society and eventually resolves her inner conflict through death.
