Synopsis "The Awakening: And Selected Short Stories "

The Awakening is a novel by Kate Chopin, first published in 1899. Set in New Orleans and on the Louisiana Gulf coast at the end of the 19th century, the plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle between her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South. It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women's issues without condescension. It is also widely seen as a landmark work of early feminism, generating a mixed reaction from contemporary readers and critics.

Kate Chopin (1850-1904) forma parte del reducido grupo de escritoras que empezaron a dar voz propia a la mujer en la literatura moderna y cuya valía a menudo se ha visto oscurecida por la censura o el escándalo. Completan el volumen importantes relatos («En el baile acadiano», «Una mujer respetable», «Fedora», «El niño de Désirée», «La historia de una hora», «Lilas», «Athénaïse», «Un par de medias de seda», «La tormenta») que ofrecen una panorámica completa de las preocupaciones y el mundo de la autora.
