Autobiografia di Alice Toklas
Summary
Gertrude Stein, scrittrice e poetessa statunitense, ha vissuto gran parte della sua vita in Francia, e ha conosciuto e sostenuto molti pittori e scrittori, quando erano agli esordi. Sua l'amicizia pluriennale con Matisse e Picasso, che le fece un famoso ritratto. Non ha mai fatto mistero della sua omosessualità, e della sua relazione con Alice Toklas. Questa autobiografia, che avrebbe potuto intitolarsi, secondo uno scherzo di Gertrude Stein, "La mia vita con i Grandi" è stata voluta da Gertrude Stein, e poiché Alice non si è mai decisa a scriverla, l'ha scritta la stessa Gertrude, utilizzando lo stesso linguaggio semplice con cui "Defoe ha scritto l'autobiografia di Robinson Crusoe". E questo proposito, per una scrittrice che ha passato la vita a sperimentare i limiti e le possibilità di parole, frasi, e paragrafi, e per questo ha anche ricevuto critiche ed allievi (come Hemingway), è stata la sua ultima sfida. Cornice musicale: "J"attendrai", di Django Reinhardt.

Three Lives
Summary
In this, the most memorable of her works, Gertrude Stein paints striking portraits of three women. "The Good Anna" is the story of a sober housekeeper of German stock. "The Gentle Lena" is concerned with a passive German girl who endures her woeful life until she dies in childbirth. "Melanetha" tells of a young, intelligent, half-white girl's sexual searching and tragic love affair. These stories reveal a young Gertrude Stein, who has begun to experiment with language but is still rooted to some extent in traditional narrative.

The World Is Round
Summary
Published to commemorate its 75th anniversary, The World is Round brings back into print the classic story created by Gertrude Stein and Clement Hurd. Written in her unique prose style, Gertrude Stein's The World is Round chronicles the adventures of a young girl named Rose - a whimsical tale that delights in wordplay and sound while exploring the ideas of personal identity and individuality. This stunning volume replicates the original 1939 edition to a "T." Also featured here are two essays that provide an inside view to the making of the book. The first, a foreword by Clement Hurd's son, author and illustrator Thacher Hurd, includes previously unpublished photographs and sheds light on a creative family life in Vermont, where his father and mother, author Edith Thacher Hurd, often collaborated on children's books. The second essay, an afterword by Edith Thacher Hurd, takes listeners behind the scenes of the making of The World is Round, including the numerous letters exchanged between Hurd and Stein as well as images of Stein with the real-life Rose and her white poodle, Love. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
