Enriched Classics offer readers accessible editions of great works of literature enhanced by helpful notes and commentary. Each book includes educational tools alongside the text, enabling students and readers alike to gain a deeper and more developed understanding of the writer and their work.

When The Awakening was first published in 1899, critical outcry proved so vociferous that the novel was banned for decades. Now praised as a classic of early feminist literature, Kate Chopin’s final work rejects conventional female roles and celebrates a woman’s journey towards self-awareness. As the heroine, Edna Pontellier, awakens to her own desires, she begins to question her ideas about marriage, motherhood, society, art, and the nature of love itself. A milestone in American fiction, The Awakening is an unforgettably poignant novel of self-discovery that has inspired generations of readers.

Enriched Classics enhance your engagement by introducing and explaining the historical and cultural significance of the work, the author’s personal history, and what impact this book had on subsequent scholarship. Each book includes discussion questions that help clarify and reinforce major themes and reading recommendations for further research.

Read with confidence.

About the Author

Katherine O'Flaherty (1850 – 1904), known by her married name Kate Chopin, was an American author of short stories and novels. In 1899, her second novel, The Awakening, was published to much outrage and harsh criticism based upon moral, rather than literary, standards. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Kate Chopin (1850-1904) moved to Louisiana to marry the son of a cotton grower. A mother of six by the age of twenty-eight and a widow at thirty-two, she turned to writing to support her young family. She is best known today for The Awakening (1899), a portrait of marriage and motherhood so controversial it fell out of print shortly after publication and was not rediscovered until the 1960s.

Dodgy text in the version; avoid

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2020

Don't download this version. It has been put through some form of translation system I think. Use the free sample option to see what I mean. I've returned and purchased alternative copy.

Story itself though is excellent and worth a read.

Buy a different version

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2021

Verified Purchase

This version is unreadable. It’s as if a translation of the book was translated back into English by computer. ‘A green and yellow parrot’ became ‘an inexperienced and yellow parrot’ in this version. Amazon should remove this from its store as it is seriously substandard.

Prima di acquistare questo orrore avrei dovuto solo cominciare a leggere l’estratto che Amazon offre ai suoi clienti, oppure la recensione messa in rete il 25 giugno 2019 da un Cliente Amazon degli USA, che io riferisco lasciando nell’originale le citazioni testuali:

“Una stella solo perché non posso non darne nessuna. Il testo nella versione che ho comprato non era il testo originale, ma qualcosa che sembrava essere stato messo attraverso la traduzione automatica: ad esempio "He should speak a touch Spanish, and additionally a language which no person understood, except it became the mocking-chicken that hung on the alternative aspect of the door, whistling his fluty notes out upon the breeze with maddening endurance" (originale: He could speak a little Spanish, and also a language which nobody understood, unless it was the mocking-bird that hung on the other side of the door, whistling his fluty notes out upon the breeze with maddening persistence.) Il libro non è leggibile e mi fa male aver pagato anche un prezzo minimo per qualcosa che sembra essere liberamente disponibile. Controlla un campione/guarda nel libro prima di acquistare e scegli una versione migliore!”

Quello che viene qui citato è il testo contenuto tra la quarta e la settima riga. Troppo poco e troppo presto per giudicare? Continuate a scandagliare l’estratto, e riga dopo riga troverete altre perle. La più sorprendente è “he now had time to read before quitting New Orleans the day earlier than.” Proprio così: “the day earlier than.” invece di “the day before.”

Amazon mi ha permesso di rendere questo obbrobrio, per il quale non ho voluto sprecare neanche la miseria di 2,99 euro.

Pretty average.

Reviewed in India on 16 May 2015

Verified Purchase

The print and binding is average, because the content is not nicely managed inside. Dark typeface on huey paper is average work.
If you can't find any other edition for a cost (near INR 150), go for this.

Simon & Schuster classics are all printed and bound this way.
