The Awakening and Other Stories

To all outside appearances, Edna Pontellier is a respectable married woman, but one lazy summer vacation and an apparently harmless infatuation will push Edna beyond this quiet, settled life, placing her directly at odds with society's expectations of what a woman should be.

Dupa toate aparentele exterioare, Edna Pontellier este o femeie casatorita respectabila, dar o vacanta de vara lenesa si o pasiune aparent inofensiva o vor impinge pe Edna dincolo de aceasta viata linistita si asezata, punand-o in contradictie directa cu asteptarile societatii despre ceea ce ar trebui sa fie o femeie.
