But a century after her death, \u003ci\u003eThe Awakening\u003c\/i\u003e is widely regarded as Kate Chopin's great achievement and a celebrated work of early feminist literature. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePenguin Classics launches a new hardcover series with five American classics that are relevant and timeless in their power, and part of a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from almost seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.","brand":"Ships in 4 to 7 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41699348512926,"sku":"UBD-9780143134800","price":59.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/products\/9780143134800.jpg?v=1653299180","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/the-awakening-and-selected-stories","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
