The Awakening: Art of the Novel

Author: Kate Chopin
Publisher: MELVILLE HOUSE PUB
Category: Contemporary Fiction, Classic Books & Novels, Short Story Books
Book Format: Paperback

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. What Newsweek calls Chopin's prophetic psychology insures its timeliness today.



The Art of The Novella Series



Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.

Kate Chopin lived in Louisiana during her marriage and began to write after her husband's death. In addition to The Awakening, she wrote a novel, At Fault, and more than 100 short stories.
