'The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing,whispering,clamoring,murmuring,inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude'When'The Awakening'was first published in 1899,charges of sordidness and immorality seemed to consign it into obscurity and irreparably damage its author's reputation. But a century after her death,it is widely regarded as Kate Chopin's great achievement. Through careful,subtle changes of style,Chopin shows the transformation of Edna Pontellier,a young wife and mother,who - with tragic consequences - refuses to be caged by married and domestic life,and claims for herself moral and erotic freedom.The Penguin English Library - collectable general readers'editions of the best fiction in English,from the eighteenth century to the end of the Second World War.
