作者简介

American author Kate Chopin (1850–1904) wrote two published novels and about a hundred short stories in the 1890s. Most of her fiction is set in Louisiana and most of her best-known work focuses on the lives of sensitive, intelligent women.

Her short stories were well received in her own time and were published by some of America's most prestigious magazines, including Vogue and the Atlantic Monthly. Her early novel At Fault (1890) was not much noticed by the public, but The Awakening (1899) was widely condemned. Critics called it morbid, vulgar, and disagreeable

　　凯特·肖邦（Kate Chopin，1851-1904），美国女作家，本名凯萨琳·欧福拉赫蒂（Katherine O'Flaherty），
　　自1889年至1902年间，她撰写供成人和孩童阅读的短篇小说，刊载于《大西洋月刊》、《时髦》、《世纪》和《哈伯青年手册》等杂志。主要作品为《河口人们》（1894年）和《阿卡迪亚之夜》（1897年）两部短篇小说集。重要的短篇小说包含《黛泽蕾的婴孩》，其内容为南北战争前路州境内异族通婚的故事。另有《一小时的故事》和《暴风》。 　　萧邦亦创作两部长篇小说：《咎》（1890年）和《觉醒》（1899年），后者舞台设于新奥尔良和大岛。她的小说中人物通常皆为路州居民，大部分作品设定和路州中北部的纳奇忒希相关。当时文学评论家认为萧邦在作品中始终处处表达她对女性的关怀。 　　
　　作品大多以路易西安那州克里奥尔人为背景。现在已公认为19世纪女性主义作家的先驱。 出生于美国圣路易斯。父亲在她四岁时去世，此后她由克里奥尔（生长于西印度群岛和南美各地的欧洲人后裔）母亲的家庭抚养长大。她于1870年嫁给了奥斯卡·肖邦，一个棉花商。两人先是住在路易斯安那的新奥尔良，后又搬到一个大农场和讲法语的阿卡迪亚人住在一起。在1882她丈夫去世之后，肖邦与她的六个孩子返回圣路易斯。朋友们鼓励她写作。她在快四十岁的时候出版了第一本小说，《故障》（At Fault 1890）。她的短篇小说开始出现在世纪（Century）和哈泼杂志（Harper’s Magazine）。随后又出版了两个选集：《支流人》（Bayou Folk 1894）和《阿卡迪一夜》（A Night in Arcadie 1897）。最后的主要作品，有超短篇《一双丝袜》（A Pair of Silk Stocking) 等，其后的小说《觉醒》（The Awakening 1899），是她的杰作。但是由于小说以对通奸同情的笔调刻画女主人公“性意识”的觉醒，大胆表露她追求婚外情的爱情观，小说一出版便在美国文坛上引起了轩然大波，震惊了全美的书评人和读者。在圣路易斯，小说被从图书馆的书架上取下，并指责它是“一个性感的女人安于堕落”的故事，甚至斥它是一本“应列为毒品”的书，以至于肖邦本人也被圣路易斯文艺社取消会员资格。1899年底，她的出版商也拒绝出版她的第三本短篇小说集。肖邦感到自己在文学领域受到排斥，因此在她生命的最后岁月里，作者本人也被迫停止了写作，此后几乎再也没有动笔。 　　

精彩书评

Chopin's (1850-1904) The Awakening , whose heroine rejects her husband and children as she indulges in solitude and in an adulterous infatuation, was embraced by the women's movement 70 years after its publication. Although they pale in comparison to the novel, these stories, which comprise Chopin's third and last short-fiction collection, serve to flesh out the Chopin oeuvre and deserve a place on women's studies syllabi. As in The Awakening , the author's social critiques here demythologize women, marriage, religion and family. A women escapes ``the incessant chatter'' of other females at a party and retires to the male domain of the smoking room, where she puffs on hashish and dreams of a love affair torn asunder. The perverse Mrs. Mallard revels in her newfound freedom when informed that her husband is a casualty of a train accident and dies of a heart attack when he shows up alive. Her fiance is wasted by illness and reeks death, and a repulsed Dorothea bolts; elsewhere, a monk is lured by the voice of a woman, a former intimate. And in a twist on the plot of The Awakening , a husband, plagued by suspicions of his late wife's infidelity, casts himself in the river. Toth wrote the biography Kate Chopin. (Jan.)

The Awakening And Selected Stories of Kate Chopin By Kate Chopin Signet Book Copyright ? 1976 Kate Chopin All right reserved. ISBN: 0451524489 Excerpt Chapter 1 A green and yellow parrot, which hung in a cage outside the door, kept repeating over and over: "Allez vous-en! Allez vous-en! Sapristi! That's all right!" He could speak a little Spanish, and also a language which nobody understood, unless it was the mockingbird that hung on the other side of the door, whistling his fluty notes out upon the breeze with maddening persistence. Mr. Pontellier, unable to read his newspaper with any degree of comfort, arose with an expression and an exclamation of disgust. He walked down the gallery and across the narrow "bridges" which connected the Lebrun cottages one with the other. He had been seated before the door of the main house. The parrot and the mockingbird were the property of Madame Lebrun, and they had the right to make all the noise they wished. Mr. Pontellier had the privilege of quitting their society when they ceased to be entertaining. He stopped before the door of his own cottage, which was the fourth one from the main building and next to the last. Seating himself in a wicker rocker which was there, he once more applied himself to the task of reading the newspaper. The day was Sunday, the paper was a day old. The Sunday papers had not yet reached Grand Isle. He was already acquainted with the market reports, and he glanced restlessly over the editorials and bits of news which he had not had time to read before quitting New Orleans the day before. Mr. Pontellier wore eye-glasses. He was a man of forty, of medium height and rather slender build; he stooped a little. His hair was brown and straight, parted on one side. His beard was neatly and closely trimmed. Once in a while he withdrew his glance from the newspaper and looked about him. There was more noise than ever over at the house. The main building was called "the house," to distinguish it from the cottages. The chattering and whistling birds were still at it. Two young girls, the Farival twins, were playing a duet from "Zanipa" upon the piano. Madame Lebrun was bustling in and out, giving orders in a high key to a yard-boy whenever she got inside the house, and directions in an equally high voice to a dining-room servant whenever she got outside. She was a fresh, pretty woman, clad always in white with elbow sleeves. Her starched skirts crinkled as she came and went. Farther down, before one of the cottages, a lady in black was walking demurely up and down, telling her beads. A good many persons of the pension had gone over to the Chênière Caminada in Beaudelet's lugger to hear mass. Some young people were out under the water-oaks playing croquet. Mr. Pontellier's two children were there - sturdy little fellows of four and five. A quadroon nurse followed them about with a faraway, meditative air. Mr. Pontellier finally fit a cigar and began to smoke, letting the paper drag idly from his hand. He fixed his gaze upon a white sunshade that was advancing at snail's pace from the beach. He could see it plainly between the gaunt trunks of the water-oaks and across the stretch of yellow camomile. The gulf looked far away, melting hazily into the blue of the horizon. The sunshade continued to approach slowly. Beneath its pink-lined shelter were his wife, Mrs. Pontellier, and young Robert Lebrun. When they reached the cottage, the two seated themselves with some appearance of fatigue upon the upper step of the porch, facing each other, each leaning against a supporting post. "What folly! to bathe at such an hour in such heat!" exclaimed Mr. Pontellier. He himself had taken a plunge at daylight. That was why the morning seemed long to him. "You are burnt beyond recognition," he added, looking at his wife as one looks at a valuable piece of personal property which has suffered some damage. She held up her hands, strong, shapely hands, and surveyed them critically, drawing up her lawn' sleeves above the wrists. Looking at them reminded her of her rings, which she had given to her husband before leaving for the beach. She silently reached out to him, and he, understanding, took the rings from his vest pocket and dropped them into her open palm. She slipped them upon her fingers; then clasping her knees, she looked across at Robert and began to laugh. The rings sparkled upon her fingers. He sent back an answering smile. "What is it?" asked Pontellier, looking lazily and amused from one to the other. It was some utter nonsense; some adventure out there in the water, and The Awakening and Selected Stories of Kate Chopin 《觉醒》和凯特·肖邦故事选 英文原版 [平装] 下载 mobi epub pdf txt 电子书 格式
