The Awakening
Inhaltsangabe
Here she is enveloped in a small circle of friends where she can begin to throw off the strictures and moirés of the 1890s bourgeoisie. Stepwise Edna renounces her obligations, takes a lover, and is propelled in a course that frees, consumes, and eventually destroys her.
In what was to be her last novel, Kate Chopin shocked the readers of her day, by showing a woman fulfilled by throwing off the ties of marriage and children.

Geschichte
More than 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third voice: a woman who wields power through the ruthless accumulation and deployment of secrets.

Geschichte
"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

Geschichte
Aljoschas Gemütsstimmung war beim Verlassen des väterlichen Hauses noch trüber und gedrückter als bei seiner Ankunft. Auch sein Denken war sozusagen zerstückelt und zersplittert, während er doch gleichzeitig Furcht davor verspürte, das Zerstückelte zu vereinigen, aus den qualvollen Widersprüchen, die er an diesem Tag durchlebt hatte, die einheitliche Idee herauszufinden. Sein Zustand grenzte beinahe an Verzweiflung.
