Awakening (Enriched Classics) Mass Market Paperback – Special Edition, 1 July 2004

The print and binding is average, because the content is not nicely managed inside. Dark typeface on huey paper is average work.If you can't find any other edition for a cost (near INR 150), go for this.Simon & Schuster classics are all printed and bound this way.

The paper and printing quality is mediocre. The paper was yellow due to age.

Its boring.

I’ve been meaning to read Kate Chopin for years ever since a much-beloved aunt recommended her work. Finally I got around to it and I’m so glad I did!!! What a fabulous writer she was. Even tho this was written well over a hundred years ago, you would hardly know it because of the universal themes that touch us all. Her characterizations are marvelous and locations are well defined. The small collection of her short stories is “icing on the cake” so to speak! They are tiny jewels of writings and not to be missed. I was left wanting to read more by this wonderfully talented Louisiana writer.

I've enjoyed it very much. Chopin writing style is fabolous and it is very pleasing to read.The extra commentary,background informations and short stories added are useful if you want to go more in deep with the story.

Prima di acquistare questo orrore avrei dovuto solo cominciare a leggere l’estratto che Amazon offre ai suoi clienti, oppure la recensione messa in rete il 25 giugno 2019 da un Cliente Amazon degli USA, che io riferisco lasciando nell’originale le citazioni testuali:“Una stella solo perché non posso non darne nessuna. Il testo nella versione che ho comprato non era il testo originale, ma qualcosa che sembrava essere stato messo attraverso la traduzione automatica: ad esempio "He should speak a touch Spanish, and additionally a language which no person understood, except it became the mocking-chicken that hung on the alternative aspect of the door, whistling his fluty notes out upon the breeze with maddening endurance" (originale: He could speak a little Spanish, and also a language which nobody understood, unless it was the mocking-bird that hung on the other side of the door, whistling his fluty notes out upon the breeze with maddening persistence.) Il libro non è leggibile e mi fa male aver pagato anche un prezzo minimo per qualcosa che sembra essere liberamente disponibile. Controlla un campione/guarda nel libro prima di acquistare e scegli una versione migliore!”Quello che viene qui citato è il testo contenuto tra la quarta e la settima riga. Troppo poco e troppo presto per giudicare? Continuate a scandagliare l’estratto, e riga dopo riga troverete altre perle. La più sorprendente è “he now had time to read before quitting New Orleans the day earlier than.” Proprio così: “the day earlier than.” invece di “the day before.”Amazon mi ha permesso di rendere questo obbrobrio, per il quale non ho voluto sprecare neanche la miseria di 2,99 euro.

A level study text

Imagine being a woman living in the south in the late 1800's. You are married, have two children and very comfortable life style--one might argue your life is near perfect. Overtime you come to realize that your life is not fulfilling. Reading Kate Chopin's short story The Awakening will take the reader through a personal passage in a woman's life when options were very limited. Even more astounding is the story was written and published during the time when the story takes place--scandalous.The other stories in this book will also give the reader insights into the life and times of people living in New Orleans. They too are engaging.
