The Awakening (Dyslexia-Friendly edition): and Selected Short Stories

The radical novel that sent shockwaves through American society – now in dyslexia-friendly font! Over one long, languid summer Edna Pontellier, fettered by marriage and motherhood, becomes acquainted with Robert Lebrun. As the days shorten and the temperature begins to drop Edna succumbs to Robert's devotion. But in the thrall of this ever-strengthening desire Edna begins to realize the true extent of her psychological, social and sexual confinement and its devastating consequences for her future. First published in 1899, this beautiful, brief novel so disturbed critics and the public that it was banished for decades afterward. Now widely read and admired, "The Awakening" has been hailed as an early vision of woman's emancipation. Kate Chopin’s revolutionary portrait of womanhood is a landmark in American fiction, rooted firmly in the romantic tradition of Herman Melville and Emily Dickinson.
