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.
《万有文库(第一辑外国)--觉醒》和作者的其他作品 一样,在者在描绘美国南方路易西安那州的克里欧人(Creole)的人和事,克里欧人为法国移民后裔,都为贵族。艾德娜原本置身于法国式的上流社会中,生活的目的只有相夫教子、宴款宾客。在这样的一个社会里,女人的身份是因男人而定位;女人没有自我,而只是某人的女儿、姊妹、妻子、母亲,或情妇。这年夏天,艾德娜全家到新奥尔良南方约五十英里外的格蓝岛度假,邂逅劳伯特,终于燃起自我遥意识,不愿意再因循先生及社会的要求而扮演别人设定的角色。她勇敢的脱离常轨,一心去发展自己的艺术(绘画)潜能,追求自由、独立
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
评分读完《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...
评分这是一部在美国文学史上被“重新发现”的经典。出版于1899年,在“cult of womenhood”的时代,《觉醒》所受关注甚少,即便有,也是负面的评价。只在20世纪70年代女性主义盛行时,在女性主义者试图重新发现被忽略的女性作家及其作品、重建文学传统和经典的努力中,《觉醒》被经...

评分我真心觉得这位阿姨翻译的不好,尤其是在看了原著以后感觉更强烈了= =但是究竟是哪里不好,谁给我一个切入点?神马中译本赏析我不会写论文啦><
评分生活应该是这样一丝不变的吗?
评分其实我还真没读太懂。但是结局就是terrible,这种悲剧真是听着就让人心升怖意
评分感觉像是E·M·福斯特风格的无聊版的《包法利夫人》。
评分台版譯得不錯
