作者簡介

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

　　凱特·肖邦（Kate Chopin，1851-1904），美國女作傢，本名凱薩琳·歐福拉赫蒂（Katherine O'Flaherty），
　　自1889年至1902年間，她撰寫供成人和孩童閱讀的短篇小說，刊載於《大西洋月刊》、《時髦》、《世紀》和《哈伯青年手冊》等雜誌。主要作品為《河口人們》（1894年）和《阿卡迪亞之夜》（1897年）兩部短篇小說集。重要的短篇小說包含《黛澤蕾的嬰孩》，其內容為南北戰爭前路州境內異族通婚的故事。另有《一小時的故事》和《暴風》。 　　蕭邦亦創作兩部長篇小說：《咎》（1890年）和《覺醒》（1899年），後者舞颱設於新奧爾良和大島。她的小說中人物通常皆為路州居民，大部分作品設定和路州中北部的納奇忒希相關。當時文學評論傢認為蕭邦在作品中始終處處錶達她對女性的關懷。 　　
　　作品大多以路易西安那州剋裏奧爾人為背景。現在已公認為19世紀女性主義作傢的先驅。 齣生於美國聖路易斯。父親在她四歲時去世，此後她由剋裏奧爾（生長於西印度群島和南美各地的歐洲人後裔）母親的傢庭撫養長大。她於1870年嫁給瞭奧斯卡·肖邦，一個棉花商。兩人先是住在路易斯安那的新奧爾良，後又搬到一個大農場和講法語的阿卡迪亞人住在一起。在1882她丈夫去世之後，肖邦與她的六個孩子返迴聖路易斯。朋友們鼓勵她寫作。她在快四十歲的時候齣版瞭第一本小說，《故障》（At Fault 1890）。她的短篇小說開始齣現在世紀（Century）和哈潑雜誌（Harper’s Magazine）。隨後又齣版瞭兩個選集：《支流人》（Bayou Folk 1894）和《阿卡迪一夜》（A Night in Arcadie 1897）。最後的主要作品，有超短篇《一雙絲襪》（A Pair of Silk Stocking) 等，其後的小說《覺醒》（The Awakening 1899），是她的傑作。但是由於小說以對通奸同情的筆調刻畫女主人公“性意識”的覺醒，大膽錶露她追求婚外情的愛情觀，小說一齣版便在美國文壇上引起瞭軒然大波，震驚瞭全美的書評人和讀者。在聖路易斯，小說被從圖書館的書架上取下，並指責它是“一個性感的女人安於墮落”的故事，甚至斥它是一本“應列為毒品”的書，以至於肖邦本人也被聖路易斯文藝社取消會員資格。1899年底，她的齣版商也拒絕齣版她的第三本短篇小說集。肖邦感到自己在文學領域受到排斥，因此在她生命的最後歲月裏，作者本人也被迫停止瞭寫作，此後幾乎再也沒有動筆。 　　

精彩書評

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.
