Awakening is one of the greatest works in American literature. Released in 1899, the novel shocked readers and critics. The author was accused of disorder. She was not banned. Kate Chopin for a long time went unnoticed. "Awakening" was recognized only many years later. Brilliant beauty Edna Pontellier, together with her husband and two wonderful kids, spend the summer in the Grand Isle resort town Eddie's unexpected encounter with Robert, a charming young man, suddenly changed by the calm and measured life of a woman.
