Про автора
Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in Pittsburgh and raised in Oakland, she spent most of her adult life in France. Stein attended Radcliffe College where she studied under William James, and later enrolled at Johns Hopkins Medical School before relocating to Paris in 1903. In Paris, she became a central figure in the avant-garde art world, hosting a famous salon attended by luminaries such as Picasso and Hemingway. Stein’s literary work is characterized by its experimental approach to language and narrative, eschewing traditional plot and structure in favor of a more stream-of-consciousness technique. Among her most notable works is ‘The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas’ (1933), which is written in the voice of her life partner and aims to chronicle the development of modern art. Other significant texts include the novels ‘Three Lives’ (1909), and ‘The Making of Americans’ (1925), as well as her numerous poems and plays. Stein’s work was not widely recognized in her time but has since garnered critical acclaim for its innovative use of language and forthright exploration of identity and sexuality. Her extensive oeuvre is encapsulated in collections such as the ‘Gertrude Stein – Ultimate Collection: Novels, Short Stories, Poems, Plays, Essays & Memoirs’, offering invaluable insight into the mind of one of the early 20th century’s most interesting literary figures.
