Sinopsis

A Bold Voice Ahead of Its Time — Kate Chopin's Masterwork Still Resonates Today.
What happens when a woman dares to want more than society allows? The Awakening answers with fierce honesty and lyrical grace.

Step into the life of Edna Pontellier, a wife and mother who finds herself questioning the very foundations of her existence. Set in the lush backdrop of 19th-century Louisiana, Kate Chopin's The Awakening shattered social norms when it was first published—delivering an unflinching portrayal of a woman's emotional and spiritual transformation.

This powerful edition includes The Awakening alongside a curated selection of Chopin's most compelling short stories, illuminating themes of love, identity, longing, and female autonomy. Her stories are compact gems of subtle rebellion and emotional depth, each echoing the daring vision that made Chopin one of America's earliest feminist voices.

"One of the first truly feminist works in American literature." — The Guardian
"A literary landmark... still electric with meaning more than a century later." — The Atlantic
"Chopin's prose is graceful, devastating, and ahead of her time." — Goodreads Reviewer

Whether you're a lover of classic literature or exploring feminist fiction for the first time, this collection is an essential read.

    This is a children's book regarding bullying and judging others before getting to know them. The book uses black and gray squirrel to help illustrate how these lessons may be learned. 
    Patricia A. Thorpe was a resident of Wisconsin for most of her life until she retired from Certegy as a credit card manager in 2003. In 2006, she moved to Mesa, Arizona where she resides today. She returns to Wisconsin where she spends time with her four sons and five grandchildren during the summer months. 
    Patricia recalls buying many children's books when her sons were young children. She felt reading to her children was paramount and bought many children's books to read to them as learning methods. When her sons were going to start school, she found a book that she felt could assist them in learning what they may experience and feel on their first few days of school. Patricia found a book to help her sons learn their ABCs, simple math calculations, the importance of following the Golden Rule and most importantly lessons from Aesop's Fables. 
    During the seven years Patricia lived on Lake Kristine in northern Wisconsin, she found herself looking out of the large window from her dining room. From there she observed many different kinds of birds and animals interacting with one another. 
    The memories of buying children's books for her sons led her to decide to create a children's book with a story line about a hummingbird she lovingly called "Harry." She hopes to create other children's books in the future for young children to enjoy and assist them in learning important life lessons.

    Evelyn May Clowes was born on 7th May 1872 in Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire.  
     
    Growing up in genteel circumstances, her early childhood was spent at Charlton Down House near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and her teenage years near Heythrop in the Cotswolds.  
     
    She was educated at home by governesses, excelling at German, Latin, Greek, shorthand, landscape painting, and fabric and wallpaper design. 
     
    In 1897 she went to Mauritius as companion to her cousin Caroline and in 1898 married Maurice Wilhemn Wiehe, the owner of a sugar plantation. She gave birth to two stillborn children. After a few years of marriage, she found life difficult and returned to England. Shortly afterwards she went by herself to Australia, arriving in June 1902 and gave birth to a son a few months later.   
     
    She lived in Melbourne for about eight years.  To earn a living she took on a wide and varied range of jobs; she edited a woman's fashion paper, wrote short stories and articles, made blouses, designed embroideries, tilled gardens, acted as a housekeeper, and did other artistic work. Her health was not strong, but she undertook any kind of work which would provide a living for herself and her infant son. This gained her an experience of life which was readily put to use in her literary works. 
     
    Her first book, ‘The Garden of Contentment’, was published in 1902 under her pen-name Elinor Mordaunt. It was the first of many works that covered fiction, short stories, travel and autobiography. 
     
    She changed her name by deed poll to Evelyn May Mordaunt on 1st July 1915 and gained a further reputation as a writer of short stories for magazines which display both her humour and sense of tragedy. Travel was always high on her priority and the experiences used not only for pleasure but in her writings and, as travel books, ideas in themselves.  
     
    On 27th January 1933 at Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, she married a retired barrister from Gloucestershire. In her own words, the marriage ‘ended in tragedy.’ 
     
    Elinor Mordaunt died on 25th June 1942 at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford. She was 70.

    Oliver and his daughter, Katie, are looking forward to visiting with Grandma and Grandpa. Ever since Katie's mother passed away, the holidays haven't been the same, but Oliver is determined to give his daughter a magical Christmas, complete with the woods, roaring fires and jolly snowmen. Little does he know, they aren't alone in this wintry wilderness. 
     
    While Oliver and Katie make their way along the icy roads, Dan and his girlfriend, Nadia, are experiencing a journey of their own out in the woods. The hike might seem like a romantic adventure to Nadia, but it's something far more important to Dan. He's on a quest to find the evil spirits hiding in this frozen landscape so he can become the hero who slayed the monsters. The voice in his head is insistent on the importance of his mission. But when Dan can't find any monsters to kill, it's everyone else who will need to be afraid of him and the darkness lurking within.
