Produktbeschreibung
In Three Lives are the stories of three working-class woman from Bridgepoint¿a town loosely based on Baltimore¿in the early twentieth century. Each story tells of the hopes, loves, romances and sadnesses of the women as they live their lives. Written in a unconventional style, the lives of the three women are uncovered through their layered conversations and interactions more than through detailed depictions. The book is notable for its descriptions of homosexual romance, something that at the time in the USA wasn¿t accepted (indeed, Gertrude Stein moved with her partner to Paris to be able to live openly). Three Lives was Gertrude Stein¿s first published book, and although the sales weren¿t as expected it was generally well received by critics. It¿s considered today to be among her more accessible books, and is a regular on English literature curricula.

Autorenporträt
Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 ¿ July 27, 1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh), and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life. She hosted a Paris salon, where the leading figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, Sherwood Anderson and Henri Matisse, would meet.
