This is an automatically translated description

Kate Chopin was an American writer (1851-1904) of great talent, with a difficult woman's and creative fate: After the scandalous resonance of her novel The Awakening, in which she raised the issue of freedom in its broadest, philosophical sense, which was too sensitive for the slaveholding South, her name was unjustly forgotten for many years. And it was more than cruel, because the writer's artistic heritage includes not only two talented novels, the courage of which the stale environment could not forgive her, but also more than a hundred short stories, which put the writer on a par with such masters of world short fiction as Guy de Maupassant and O. Henry.

Thus, it is extremely perfect that, finally, in the XXI century, the work of Kat Chopin takes its deserved place in the treasury of world literature.

About the book

Kate Chopin's novels are memories, not erased by time, of the life of the slaveholding Confederacy with its morals, life, traditions, and colour. This is a series of human stories with their life conflicts, written in the lively, insightful language of an impassioned narrator, which strikes to the core.
