Résumé :
Duffels by Edward Eggleston is a collection of short stories that reflect the complexities of human nature and life in 18th and 19th-century America. The stories offer a wide array of characters, each grappling with the challenges and aspirations of their time, shedding light on the diverse experiences across the nation. At the heart of the collection is a story set in the Ephrata cloister of Pennsylvania, an 18th-century religious community. The narrative introduces a young woman caught between personal freedom and her religious obligations. This struggle explores the broader human experience of independence, love, and personal sacrifice. As conflicts arise within the cloister, they bring to the forefront themes of rebellion, faith, and the complex relationships formed under strict societal and religious expectations.

Eggleston s masterful storytelling captures these emotional and social struggles, creating a poignant exploration of the human spirit....
