Summary "Duffels" by Edward Eggleston is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a selection of Eggleston's shorter tales, showcasing various phases of human nature and life across the 18th and 19th centuries in America, highlighting experiences from diverse locations throughout the nation. With a range of characters and situations, the stories provide a tapestry of American life during this time, capturing the challenges and triumphs of its people. The opening of "Duffels" introduces the story "Sister Tabea," set in the Ephrata cloister of Pennsylvania, which was established by mystical pietists in the 18th century. The narrative unfolds in the communal life of the cloister, focusing on Sister Tabea, a rebellious and passionate young woman. As tensions rise among the sisters due to strict control from Brother Friedsam, the director, Tabea finds herself caught between her duties and her desire for independence. Through her interactions with her fellow sisters and her defiance of Brother Friedsam, the complexities of personal aspirations, love, and commitments are explored, laying the groundwork for deep emotional conflicts that resonate throughout the story.
