Kate Chopin, was born Katherine O'Flaherty in St. Louis on Feburary8,1851, of a prosperous Irish-born merchant father and an aristocratic Creole mother. She studied piano, wrote poetry, and read Dickens, Austen, Goethe, de Stael, and the Brontes. Despite her free spirit--she was once nicknamed the "littlest rebel" for yanking down a Union flag--Kate grew to be a leading social belle, admired for her wit and beauty.
In 1870 she married Oscar Chopin. Matrimony did not quell her independence; she dressed unconventionally, took long unchaperoned walks, and smoked cigarettes. In their twelve years of married life, she bore six children, and upon Oscar's sudden death in 1882 she took over the management of the Chopin family plantation in Natchitoches, Louisana. She turned seriously to writing shortly thereafter, publishing stories in Vogue and Atlantic Monthly. She wrote a novel, At Fault(1890), Bayou Folk, a collection of stories(1894), A Night in Acadie, a second collection (1897), and her masterpiece The Awakening(1899), which aroused a national scandal for its "indecency." Banned by libraries, it even prevented her admission into the St. Louis Fine Arts Club--even though Kate Chopin was famous for her literary salon, which attracted distinguished artists and writers from all over the country.
Always sensitive to criticism, Chopin was devastated by the furor that surrounded the publication of The Awakening, and its harsh reception ultimately caused her to stop writing. When she died in 1904, she had been denied the recognition she desperately wanted and richly deserved.
觉醒是辽宁教育出版社新万有文库中的一本,不到200页。译本也很好。译者是杨瑛美。 作者凯特肖邦。这本书出版于1899年。因为女性意识的觉醒 曾被禁止。我买大概是因为信任辽宁这套文库和便宜的价格,因为在买之前我对她一无所知。 小说说的是美国南方的一位夫人...
評分读完《觉醒》,心底里有点压抑,更偏向凯特 肖邦一开始对于这部著作的命名《孤独的灵魂》。 或许读一遍着实不足以洞悉作者在塑造人物形象和叙述故事情节时的用心良苦,但我仍然想把内心的切实感受叙述一二。 女主人公艾德娜觉醒的过程在一个女人不以自己独存而...
評分心理活动太多,故事有点压抑,而且文笔也不太是我喜欢的风格。用词比较简单,篇幅不长(是不是长篇小说啊?篇幅这么短)就这俩点来说诚意推荐。总之,个人感觉是时代意义大于艺术价值。 kate chopin还写过短篇,有些还是很有意思的
評分我不知道该如何评论Edna这个女性,正如首页上有读者写到,醒了却还是困着的,所以呢,与其这样折磨自己,为什么不直接困顿着算了。 Edna的觉醒在我们现在看来完全是应该的,在父权社会下压制的女性开始慢慢的苏醒,意识到自己原来只是被丈夫视作了一个附属品,仅...
評分<The Awakening>写于1899年, 出版后因主题的尺度遭受监禁和批评, 直到作者去世几十年后才被认定为19世纪美国文学的重要一章. 书里有一个美丽的女人, 已婚, 成为丈夫和儿子的财产. 晒了一夏天太阳和遇到情人之后她决定不再昏头昏脑的活着. 是悲剧还是希望别人无法评判, 醒来的...
凱特肖邦在N年前就如此覺醒,難怪會被禁。
评分乍看三觀清奇 一個擁有一切的女人的作死故事 但是仔細思考卻非常能與Edna感同身受 然而這樣茫然的掙紮注定最後結局是悲劇的 All liberation affects good and evil equally;the liberation of morals and minds entails crime and catastrophes.

评分結尾來得太快,是她的風格……看完有點難過,不過那個年代,對女性的覺醒,如此細膩的描寫,完全能理解女主的所作所為,也理解那個獨木舟晚上的快樂,還有她與羅伯特的對話,“你在這裏睡瞭100年,我等瞭你100年。”還有羅伯特的離開……sad!
