Eline Vere
'Eline Vere' Summary
Eline Vere is a Dutch novel that follows the life of Eline, a young woman from a wealthy and aristocratic family in The Hague. The story explores themes of love, loss, disillusionment, and the complexities of social expectations and class in 19th-century Dutch society. Eline is a sensitive and imaginative soul who struggles to reconcile her dreams with the realities of her life. She finds herself drawn to men who ultimately disappoint her, and her idealism clashes with the superficiality and social constraints of her world. The novel delves into Eline's emotional turmoil and her descent into despair, ultimately leading to a tragic end. Couperus's vivid portrayal of Dutch society, particularly the upper class, and his insightful exploration of female identity and the societal pressures on women make Eline Vere a classic of Dutch literature.Book Details
