The Awakening
from Bantam Books

Customer Review:

The Awakening is a novella about a young married woman in New Orleans during the late 1800s who suddenly develops a taste for freedom - to make her own decisions and live with the consequences. An exciting concept only because of the setting. The storyline is really very mild for today's readers.more info

from W. W. Norton
Price: $10.69

Customer Review:

Although this book starts of rather slow, it soon becomes riveting as the characters become more developed. As I became acquainted with Edna and the awakening she goes through, I found that I could identify with her on a deeply personal level. Many of us have felt that we are living our lives in a... more info

Customer Review:

The edition is well done since it has a pretty good introduction to the themes and notes as well as excerpts from critics and suggestions for discussion.

Great Short Stories by American Women (Dover Thrift Editions)
from Dover Publications
Price: $2.50

Customer Review:

This book is a great read with many classic writers included. It also has a story by Kate Chopin that was never published after the backlash she received from "The Awakening." It's a great story. I did notice this book had a price on the back of $1.99 and I paid far more on Amazon. Boo!
It's... more info

The Awakening: And Other Stories (Oxford World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:

I actually haven't reached the Awakening yet. I find it amazing that nobody has commented on the beauty of Ms. Chopin's short pastoral stories. They remind me of the Guy de Maupassant short stories, Boule de Suif etc.
Ms. Chopin was clearly a very skilled writer of the short story and... more info

from Library of America
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:

This book is a great collection of Kate Chopin's writings. Chopin truly has a way of portraying women in her writings much differently than society in her day believed they should be. If you read her works knowing this, you will come to respect her work the way I have. I believe that in a time when... more info

I came on this book by chance, having never heard or Kate Chopin or her more famous book "The Awakening." This slim volume of short stories is my only experience with her still.

The easy pace of the stories, the charming lilt and rhythm of the dialogs, gives a good impression of bayou life,... more info

Bayou Folk and A Night in Acadie (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:

I loved this book! It is a collection of short stories, originally published singly in magazines. They provide a snapshot of life in Louisiana in the late 19th century, and truly fulfill this reader's desire to be transported to a different time and place.

In each story, often only a few pages... more info
