The Awakening: a novella.

For the first time in Russian, the novel by Kate Chopin "The Awakening" is published - one of the greatest works in American literature. Released in 1899, the novel shocked readers and critics. The author was accused of immorality. And... although the book was not banned, it was censored. This led to the fact that Kate Chopin's work remained unnoticed for a long time. Like most great works criticized during their lifetime, "The Awakening" was recognized only many years later.
The brilliant beauty Edna Pontellier spends the summer in the resort town of Grand Isle with her husband and two remarkable children. An unexpected meeting of Edna with Robert, a charming young man, suddenly changes the calm and measured life of the woman.
The publication also includes selected stories by the writer that were previously not published in Russian.
