But when a summer romance reignites Edna's appetite for life, she discovers that her conventional family, friends, and surroundings do not make her happy. Boldly-and to the astonishment of her husband and the consternation of New Orleans society-Edna begins to discover the joys of solitude, creative expression, and erotic freedom. A scandal and a shock to readers when it was first published in 1899, The Awakening remains a daring portrayal of a woman rejecting domesticity in favor of her own happiness and self-expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition includes some of Chopin's most studied short stories, including \"Desiree's Baby,\" \"A Pair of Silk Stockings,\" and \"The Story of an Hour.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781454952992\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kate Chopin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863262495027,"sku":"9781454952992","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/182183482706.jpg?v=1754193160","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-awakening-and-other-stories","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
