Beschreibung

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.

    Ken Barnard is a computer software designer who has had a series of unrewarding relationships with women his own age. He lives in the bottom half of an old Victorian semi-detached house in Hendon, London, and he is enthusiastic about just two things, computer programming and spanking. Recently he has discovered the pleasure in spanking older women who are often not only willing but desperate to be over Ken’s knee getting their bottoms warmed. In this book, Ken spanks Rose again and sleeps with her. He also spanks Maggie and her two lesbian friends Bridget and Holly. Finally, he meets an older lady on a train and she invites him over for a spanking.

    Fantastic: Loved the book there was nothing bad in the book I really liked the ending you are a brilliant writer I am going to read some more of your stories  
    Jason Roberts 
    Another fun spanking series: Sweet older ladies can benefit from spankings just as much as naughty little girls. I’m really enjoying this author's genre-busting sexy spanking stories.  
    NJSpank 
    Enjoyable: With so many stories about thin young ladies and men being spanked this perspective was very enjoyable. Some nice erotic moments but spanking was the main theme. Well done and a very nice read
