Книга: The Awakening (Chopin Kate); Arcturus, 2022

In this stunning tale of self-discovery and female emancipation, the young woman Edna Pontellier works to regain control over her own life and escape the shackles society has placed on her. Not content with being defined merely as a wife and mother, she seeks to escape her stifling marriage and discover the passions of love with another man.

Causing outrage when it was first released in 1899, The Awakening is a brilliant, daring and beautifully written story of infidelity and a woman's search for freedom.
