Three Lives was Gertrude Stein's first published book. It contains three stories of three working class women - Anna, a conscientious but rigid serving woman; Melanctha, a worldly-wise and sensitive black girl; and Lena, a gentle but feeble-minded maid. Although these are relatively ordinary women, in Stein's hands their lives and minds take on extraordinary interest. Told in clear, carefully crafted prose, these stories are not only memorable works in themselves but an excellent entree to Stein's later work.

Gertrude Stein is best known for the quote, "A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." She was an early 20th century writer whose work mirrored the experimentalism of the Cubist art movement."A Long Gay Book" (the novella that opens this volume -- a novella so substantial that it could well fill a volume by itself) is written in the stream-of-consciousness style that Stein helped to make famous.

The change of color is likely and a difference a very little difference is prepared. Sugar is not a vegetable. -- Gertrude Stein Gertrude Stein wrote many odd and peculiar texts and this work -- Tender Buttons -- is among the best known of them. Stein's wonderful and peculiar approach to the language seems to focus on sounds and rhythms rather than the sense of words. Abandoning the sense of things, it's said, she attempted to capture "moments of consciousness," independent of time and memory. That may and may not be the case, but over the years, this and many similar works have been described by critics as a "feminist reworking of patriarchal language." We don't know about that, but we do like the work, just as we like Stein.

This sequel to Stein's Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas has been long misunderstood and neglected. An account of her experiences resulting from writing a bestseller, Everybody's Autobiography is funny and engaging, but also a seering meditation on the meaning of identity, success, and America. Stein at her most accessible and her most serious. Rejacketed and reprinted.

Gertrude Stein began the creative work that was to earn her the reputation as one of the most original writers of this century with the three pieces in this volume. Fernhurst, a fictional episode based on a Bryn Mawr scandal of the early 1900s, explores the labyrinth of love between man and woman and between woman and woman; Q.E.D. fictionalizes an early Stein romance (doomed finally by a rival); and the third selection is an early draft of The Making of Americans, which records Stein's struggle toward maturity as woman and artist. Essential works of a significant twentieth-century literary voice.

Paris, Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts: Der Salon der amerikanischen Geschwister Stein in der Rue de Fleurus 27 gilt als "beste Bildergalerie Europas" und als wichtigster Treffpunkt der Avantgarde, darunter Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Djuna Barnes, Guillaume Apollinaire, Marie Laurencin und Ernest Hemingway. Sie alle scharten sich um Gertrude Stein, die "Mutter der Moderne", die den Salon gemeinsam mit ihrer Lebensgefährtin Alice B. Toklas führte. Die legendäre Autobiografie von Alice B. Toklas, heiter-ironisches und authentisches Porträt der Pariser Boheme, wurde 1933 über Nacht zum meistgelesenen Buch zwischen Montmartre, Rive Gauche und Deux Magots."... eine höchst amüsante Chronik einer Zeit, in der Intellekt und Kunst sich gegenseitig nährten. Man könnte Sehnsucht bekommen nach solchen Verhältnissen." Gabriele von Arnim

»Es ist schon sehr komisch mit dem Geld«, schreibt Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) in einem ihrer fünf kurzen Prosatexte, die dieser Band versammelt und die erstmals 1936 in der Saturday Evening Post erschienen. »Was die Menschen von den Tieren unterscheidet ist Geld. Alle Tiere haben die gleichen Gefühle und die gleichen Gewohnheiten wie Menschen ... Aber was kein Tier kann ist zählen, und was kein Tier kennt ist Geld.« Als Dichterin gehörte die seit 1903 in Paris lebende Stein zur Avantgarde, ihre politischen Ansichten waren bisweilen unbedarft und konservativ. In dieser Spannung liegt der außergewöhnliche Reiz ihrer Texte über Geld: Steins spielerisch-assoziative und verstellt-naive Herangehensweise steht in scharfen Kontrast zu der Brisanz des Themas und zeigt dadurch viel von seinem verborgenen Charakter.

Eine Amerikanerin in Paris: Gertrude Stein war eine der scharfsinnigsten und originellsten Stimmen des 20. Jahrhunderts. In ihrem Salon ging die Avantgarde ein und aus, sie war Schriftstellerin, Verlegerin, Philosophin und Kunstsammlerin. Sie schrieb experimentelle Romane, Novellen, Essays, Gedichte, literarische Porträts und Bühnenwerke, in denen sie sich über sprachliche und literarische Konventionen hinwegsetzte. Das Lesebuch, herausgegeben von Uda Strätling, gewährt Einblicke in die erstaunliche Bandbreite ihres Schaffens - eine Landkarte für alle, die mehr als das berühmte »A Rose is a Rose is a Rose is a Rose« kennenlernen möchten.

Rose ist eine Rose ist eine Rose ...Der Satz, der Gertrude Stein berühmt machte, entstammt ihrer Erzählung "Die Welt ist rund". Gertrude Steins Kinderbuch ist genausowenig oder genausoviel ein Kinderbuch wie "Der Kleine Prinz" von Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Die "Welt ist rund" entstand zur gleichen Zeit wie der Roman "Ida", den Gertrude Stein im Sommer 1937 begann. Und vielleicht ist Ida die erwachsene Rose. Die extreme, experimentelle Prosa ihrer früheren literarischen Werke ist zur Zeit der Entstehung des nun zum ersten Mal ins Deutsche übertragenen Buches einer einfacheren, aber nichtsdestoweniger konsequenten Sprache gewichen.

Facsimile of 1933 Edition. The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas is written by Stein in the guise of an autobiography authored by Alice B. Toklas, her life partner. In 1998, Modern Library ranked it as one of the 20 greatest English-language nonfiction books of the 20th Century. It is a fascinating recollection of the art scene in Paris as the couple were friends with Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. They begin the war years in England but return to France, volunteering for the American Fund for the French Wounded, driving around France, helping the wounded and homeless. They become friends with Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway. It is by most accounts one of the best descriptions of the lives and morays of the American and European literary and artistic scene between the wars.
