1.The AwakeningThe Awakening
from Avon
Price: $4.50

Customer Review:
The protagonist of this excellent novel is commonly seen as a victim of the repression and hopelessness of women's desires for autonomy in middle-class American society around the end of the 19th century. This view is easily justifiable, and Chopin does give the reader plenty of pointers toward this... more info

2.The Awakening (Norton Critical Editions)The Awakening (Norton Critical Editions)
from W. W. Norton
Price: $10.69

Customer Review:
It's important to know before reading this book that Kate Chopin belonged to a no longer used genre called "Creole Writer". The Awakening is very much set in New Orleans and there is frequent use of French or it's Creole equivalents. Fortunately, this Norton Critical Edition provided translations... more info

from Pocket
Price: $4.95

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.
What makes ist 4 instead of 5 stars is actually that the information concerning the stories included in the edition did not correspond to the... more info

5.Great Short Stories by American Women (Dover Thrift Editions)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

from Dover Publications
Price: $1.50

Customer Review:
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... more info

from Barnes & Noble Classics
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
I actually bought the larger paperback version from Barnes & Noble but it has the same excellent Introduction and Notes by Rachel Adams.
I don't believe I would've been as enthusiastic about THE AWAKENING if I hadn't read the Introduction and got some background on the story and its writer... more info

from Modern Library
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 Penguin Classics
Price: $11.90

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

from Library of America
Price: $29.20

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
