This is a story from the Dubliners, Volume 1 collection.

Die Mutter tot, der Vater ein Säufer, der Bruder meistens auf angeblich beruflichen Reisen, der Alltag hart, monoton und triste – was könnte Eveline da an ihre Heimat binden? Und der Matrose Frank hat ein nettes kleines Häuslein in Buenos Aires und bittet sie mit ihm zu kommen, dennoch fällt Eveline ein endgültiger Entschluss schwer.

"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.

James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 - 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, poet and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist avant-garde movement and is regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century. EVELINE: She sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue. Her head was leaned against the window curtains and in her nostrils was the odour of dusty cretonne. She was tired.

For Eveline, it was a nearly transforming experience to be in love. Frank had booked passage for the two to leave Ireland for Buenos Aires as husband and wife. As Eveline looks forward to the day of her leaving, she begins to think of her dead mother and the family she would be leaving behind. This short story allows us to consider the thoughts that are in conflict for the young lady. How will she respond and what will she decide? A classic story narrated by Glenn Hascall.

These adventures of a Victorian heroine are considered by some to still be shocking as Eveline explores her sexuality in a series of erotic encounters from a very young age. She has a veneer of propriety which heightens her casual sexual behaviour and provides a revealing insight into our perceptions of Victorian society. Talented actress Sally Farmiloe captures this dichotomy beautifully.

"Eveline" es la historia de una muchacha que debe escoger entre su vida actual, (siguiendo la promesa que le hizo a su madre antes de que esta muriera), y escapar a Buenos Aires con su novio, hacia una nueva vida.
