Produktbeschreibung

In 'GERTRUDE STEIN Ultimate Collection: Novels, Short Stories, Poetry, Plays, Memoirs & Essays,' the reader encounters the full spectrum of Stein's avant-garde literary endeavors. The compilation traverses the landscapes of her inventive prose in works such as 'Three Lives' and 'The Making of Americans,' alongside her groundbreaking poetry in 'Tender Buttons.' Stein's writing, characterized by its experimental use of language, stream of consciousness, and repetitive phrasing, has cemented her as a formidable figure in modernist literature. Her literary contributions offer a window into early twentieth-century artistic movements, reflecting the seismic shifts in the arts during her prolific career. Gertrude Stein's radical approach to narrative structure and syntax draws parallels with contemporaries like James Joyce, while pointing toward the future of abstract expression in the literary arts. Gertrude Stein, born in 1874, was not only a literary innovator but also a central figure in the Parisian art world. Stein's intimate relationship with key artists of the time, including Picasso, whose influence pervades her writing, informed her unique aesthetic. Her prose, much like Cubist painting, fragments and reassembles reality in unexpected forms. This collection not only showcases Stein's work but also serves as an anthology of her life's encounters and experiences. Stein's profound engagement with language, coupled with her keen eye for art, propelled her to explore and dissect the complexities of human nature through her bold narrative forms. For both the scholar and the curious reader, 'GERTRUDE STEIN Ultimate Collection' offers an invaluable compendium of this pioneering author's work. Her distinctive voice resonates throughout the diverse genres represented within, making this collection a must-read for those seeking to delve into the essence of Stein's impactful contributions to modernist literature.

Autorenporträt

Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was an avant-garde American writer, poet, and art collector. Born in Allegheny, Pittsburgh and raised in Oakland, California, Stein later moved to Paris, where she would become a central figure in the city's artistic milieu. Her Parisian salon, which she hosted with her life partner Alice B. Toklas, was a hub for celebrated artists and writers of the era, including Picasso, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald. Stein's literary works are marked by her experimental approach to language, characterized by a stream of consciousness technique and repetition, intentionally departing from traditional narrative forms. Her unique style is evident in 'Three Lives' (1909) and 'Tender Buttons' (1914), which challenge conventional literary structure and syntax. She also penned plays, such as 'Four Saints in Three Acts' and insightful essays. Stein's 'The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas' (1933), written in the voice of Toklas, her partner, was her most commercially successful book and is considered one of her most accessible works. Stein's contributions to literature and modernist movements are undeniable, and her innovative prose has continued to inspire writers and critics alike. The 'GERTRUDE STEIN Ultimate Collection' showcases the breadth of her literary talent and her pivotal role in 20th-century literature.
