Book excerpt: In late 19th-century New Orleans, social constraints are strict, especially for a married woman. Edna Pontellier leads a secure life with her husband and two children, but her restlessness grows within the confined societal norms, and the expectations placed upon her – from her husband and the world around her – create increasing pressure. During a trip to Grand Isle, an island off the coast of Louisiana, her life is turned upside down by an intense love affair, and passion forces her to question the foundations of her – and every woman’s – existence. Kate Chopin's novel The Awakening caused a scandal with its outspokenness when it was published in 1899. The novel’s openly sexual themes and disregard for marital and societal conventions led to it not being reprinted for fifty years. It wasn't until the 1950s that Chopin’s work was rediscovered, and The Awakening received significant acclaim. Today, it is not only seen as an early feminist milestone but also as a classic. KATE CHOPIN [1851–1904] was born in St Louis. She had six children during her marriage, and it wasn't until after her husband's death in 1882 that she emerged as a writer. She published short stories in magazines such as Vogue and The Atlantic, gaining appreciation and recognition for her depictions of the American South. However, she was also criticized for her disregard for social traditions and racial barriers.

Download or read book Bayou Folk written by Kate Chopin and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pretty book of tales drawn from life among the Creoles and Acadians of Louisiana. They represent with fidelity and spirit characters and customs unfamiliar to most readers ; they are admirably told, with just enough dialect for local color; and they can hardly fail to be very popular. Some of these stories are little more than croquis — just a brief incident of idea sketched in with a few rapid strokes and left to the imagination of the reader to be materialized, if we may so speak. Others are longer and more finished, but all are full of that subtle, alien quality which holds the Creole apart from the Anglo-Saxon — a quality we do not quite understand and can never reproduce, but which is full of fascination to us from the very fact that it is so unlike ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was taken because I was poor. The rich and powerful call my people Nis which is short for Nis'sahāya, which means hopeless. They see us as... disposable. We are the first who enter the Trials of the Tigers every year, hopeful to become a Magi. It is the only possible path out of poverty.But, in a thousand years, not one Nis has ever succeeded. Only the children of the rich become Magi and are granted a seat at the Rakshasa's table.Until, against all expectations... I did.Now, I need to become a worse monster than the Rakshasa who supposedly protect Pannikar from the Hungry Dead who plague our city.But... do they protect us, or do they just feed on us?I am beginning to suspect that the Tigers-who-walk-like-men... are the true monsters in Panikkar. Just because they talk like men, doesn't make them a man. Wielding magic doesn't grant a Tiger a man's moral code or ethics. Rakshasa don't cherish love like a treasure, or give compassion to the less fortunate.Everything tastes like prey when you are a Tiger. And... Everyone... tastes good.My name is Jayanti, and I will survive their trials and contests, even if that means becoming what I fear the most... A Rakashi, a sister of their clan.
