Synopsis

“Eveline” is a short story from James Joyce’s classic Dubliners. Nineteen-year-old Eveline has decided to leave home, but her future journey may not be all that she hopes.

Like other stories in Dubliners, “Eveline” offers a penetrating analysis of Dublin society, especially its stagnation and paralysis. Each story incorporates epiphanies, by which Joyce meant to convey a sudden consciousness of the “soul” of a thing.

Proceeds from sale of this title go to Reach Out and Read, an innovative literacy advocacy organization.
