Gertrude Stein

Tender Buttons offers much of what we associate with the modernist Gertrude Stein of "rose is a rose is a rose" fame. Here Stein explores Objects, Food, and Rooms. Objects offers numerous short pieces ostensibly on various objects, Food involves longer "Studies in Description", and Rooms is one long section of description.

En modernistisk klassikerNär Gertrude Stein åkte hem till USA för första gången efter flytten till Paris såg hon sitt namn i neonskrift över Times Square i New York. Alice B. Toklas självbiografi var redan en osannolik jättesuccé. Turnén som följde gjorde Gertrude Stein till en litterär superstjärna. Vid hennes sida, som alltid, var Alice B. Toklas. Från det att de träffades 1907 i Paris var de oskiljaktiga. Romanen, berättad som Alice B. Toklas självbiografi, handlar om deras liv på legendariska adressen 27 Rue de Fleurus; stormcentrum för stora delar av det europeiska avant-gardet, ett andra hem för Picasso, Matisse, Hemingway och andra. Men här följer vi till exempel också hur Gertrude och Alice volontärarbetade under första världskriget, förare till en ambulans som de köpte för egna pengar. Alice B. Toklas självbiografi [The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, 1933] är skriven som en fantasi utifrån verkligheten, med följeslagerskans perspektiv. Vi är de vi är i livet främst för andra, det var så Gertrude Stein såg på individualiteten. Inte minst därför är hon så viktig än i dag. En av den modernistiska litteraturens största klassiker, här översatt till svenska av Thomas Warburton. GERTRUDE STEIN [1874-1946] var en av 1900-talets stora litterära innovatörer. Hon var en av de centrala gestalterna i den avantgardistiska konst- och litteraturvärlden i tjugotalets Paris, där hennes och partnern Alice B. Toklas hem blev en knytpunkt för exilamerikaner och europeiska konstnärer och författare. Med Alice B. Toklas självbiografi och Ida presenterar Modernista nya, efterlängtade utgåvor av två av Gertrude Steins största och mest lästa verk.

Ida. En suicide blonde, en Dulcinea, en Garbo - en Gertrude Stein. Ida är en skönhetsdrottning som flytt sitt uppdrag. Ida vill - alltid - någon annanstans. Dessutom är Ida mycket upptagen. Med att vila. Och med att gifta sig, om och om igen. Gertrude Stein skrev Ida under upptakten till andra världskriget. Romanen publicerades av förlaget Random House 1941, medan Stein befann sig i Vichy-regimens Frankrike. En av den engelskspråkiga modernismens klassiker, här i översättning av författaren Johanna Mo.

Gertrude Stein was an American writer who spent most of her life in France, and who became a catalyst in the development of modern art and literature. Her life was marked by two primary relationships, the first with her brother Leo Stein, from 1874-1914, and the second with Alice B. Toklas, from 1907 until Stein's death in 1946. Stein shared her salon at 27 rue de Fleurus, Paris, first with Leo and then with Alice. Throughout her lifetime, Stein cultivated significant tertiary relationships with well-known members of the avant garde artistic and literary world of her time.

The first publisher of Tender Buttons described the book's effect on readers as "something like terror, there are no known precedents to cling to." Written in pencil in a small notebook and barely revised after its first composition, the text caused a sensation and was widely reviewed and discussed on its publication. This edition of Gertrude Stein's transformative work immerses the text in its cultural context. The most opaque of modernist texts, Tender Buttons also had modernism's most voluminous and varied response. This Broadview Edition uses the response to Tender Buttons as a way of understanding this spectacular moment in publishing history. Stein's text is published alongside its parodies, defenses, publicity brochure, and selections from the hundreds of responses to it in American daily newspapers, which placed it in the context of Cubism, fashion shows, and celebrity culture.

Olipa kerran maailma joka oli pyöreä, niin että sen ympäri saattoi kulkea monta kertaa. Siellä asui Roosa, joka päätti kiivetä korkealle vuorelle. Gertrude Steinin hurmaava ja hulvaton lastenkirja vie lukijansa ainutlaatuiselle matkalle Roosan maailmaan, jossa jokaisella vuorenhuipulla on vihreä niitty, eikä leijonasta luopuminen ole aina helppoa. Mutta kävi miten tahansa, Roosa on Roosa on Roosa.

Geography and Plays is a collection of Gertrude Stein's writing from about 1908 to 1920. Originally published in 1922 with an introduction by Sherwood Anderson, it was almost inaccessible for many years. This edition makes it possible for students and other devotees of Stein to see the developing strategies of one of the acknowledged giants of literary modernism, whose pathbreaking departures in literary style have recently been assigned still greater importance in light of new theories about women's writing.

Tender Buttons: objects, food, rooms is the title of a 1914 book by Gertrude Stein consisting of word clusters chosen for their prosody, juxtaposed for the purpose of subverting commonplace dictionary meanings which Stein believed had largely lost their expressive force and ability to communicate. The words were re-defined using both their etymology and analysis of syllables by themselves.

Three Lives by Gertrude Stein 2012 Reprint of 1909 Edition. "Three Lives" (1909) was Gertrude Stein's first published work. The book is divided into three stories, "The Good Anna," "Melanctha," and "The Gentle Lena." The three stories are independent of each other, but all are set in the fictional town of Bridgepoint. Each one is a psychological portrait of the named protagonist. All three are members of the lower socioeconomic stratum of Bridgepoint. Stein had dropped out of Johns Hopkins Medical School before graduating, but not before completing her third year of training. She was particularly interested in psychology and had been a student of William James when she was an undergraduate. These three stories are detailed psychological characterizations of the three characters. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Tender Buttons is a 1914 book by American writer Gertrude Stein consisting of three sections titled "Objects", "Food", and "Rooms". While the short book consists of multiple poems covering the everyday mundane, Stein's experimental use of language renders the poems unorthodox and their subjects unfamiliar. Stein began composition of the book in 1912 with multiple short prose poems in an effort to "create a word relationship between the word and the things seen" using a "realist" perspective. She then published it in three sections as her second book in 1914. Tender Buttons has provoked divided critical responses since its publication. It is renowned for its Modernist approach to portraying the everyday object and has been lauded as a "masterpiece of verbal Cubism". Its first poem.

GLAZED GLITTER. Nickel, what is nickel, it is originally rid of a cover. The change in that is that red weakens an hour. The change has come. There is no search. But there is, there is that hope and that interpretation and sometime, surely any is unwelcome, sometime there is breath and there will be a sinecure and charming very charming is that clean and cleansing. Certainly glittering is handsome and convincing. There is no gratitude in mercy and in medicine. There can be breakages in Japanese. That is no programme. That is no color chosen. It was chosen yesterday, that showed spitting and perhaps washing and polishing. It certainly showed no obligation and perhaps if borrowing is not natural there is some use in giving.

"Here is one artist who has been able to accept ridicule, who has even foregone the privilege of writing the Great American Novel, uplifting our English-speaking stage and wearing the bays of the great poets, to go live among the little housekeeping words, the swaggering bullying street-corner words, and all the other forgotten and neglected citizens of the sacred and half-forgotten city."-Sherwood Anderson. "More and more clearly, Stein is being seen for what she is: one of the towering figures of modernism and of experiments with language and literary genre. Geography and Plays is a central text in Stein's oeuvre and in literary modernism."-Catharine R. Stimpson. "Geography and Plays is a cornucopia of genre: there are poems, stories, plays, portraits, and perhaps 'essays'. In short, the collection is a one-volume introduction to the most boldly experimental period in the work of the most boldly experimental American writer of the twentieth century."-Cyrena N. Pondrom.

It is renowned for its Modernist approach to portraying the everyday object and has been lauded as a "masterpiece of verbal Cubism". Its first poem, "A Carafe, That Is a Blind Glass", is arguably its most famous, and is often cited as one of the quintessential works of Cubist literature. The book has also been, however, criticized as "a modernist triumph, a spectacular failure, a collection of confusing gibberish, and an intentional hoax

She loves her "regular dogs" Baby, an old, blind, terrier; "bad Peter," loud and cowardly; and "the fluffy little Rags." Anna is the undisputed authority in the household, and in her five years with Miss Mathilda she oversees in turn four under servants: Lizzie, Molly, Katy, and Sallie. Sometimes even the lazy and benign Miss Mathilda feels rebellious under Anna's iron hand; she is also concerned because Anna is always giving away money, and tries to protect her from her many poor friends.
