Ninguna obra de la literatura universal ha sido tan incomprendida y vilipendiada por falsas premisas y fatuos enconos debido a su supuesta ilegibilidad como "Finnegans Wake" de James Joyce, aunque en un primer momento esta postura sería explicable ya que el autor irlandés se propuso escribir novelas para ser estudiadas durante doscientos años. Lo mismo se dijo del Ulises cuando en 1924 un grupo de notables españoles la declararon intraducible.

"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.
