格特鲁德·斯坦的《爱丽丝·托克拉斯自传》对充满活力的现代主义文化和巴黎左岸丰富的艺术世界有着迷人的洞察力，其中包括托马斯·芬施在《企鹅现代经典》中的介绍。对于格特鲁德·斯坦因和她的妻子爱丽丝·b·托克拉斯来说，巴黎的生活是以弗勒吕斯街和周六的晚上为基础的，“这就像一个慢慢转动的万花筒”。毕加索和塞尚、马蒂斯、海明威、菲茨杰拉德都在那里，带着“他那尖利的西班牙式咯咯笑”。正如托克拉斯所说：“天才们来和格特鲁德·斯坦谈话，妻子们和我坐在一起。”这是一本轻松的娱乐作品，实际上是格特鲁德·斯坦自己的自传，也是她在1903年至1932年间遇到的所有杰出画家和作家的名单。大胆、讽刺和典型的自信，这是一个在巴黎的美国人的权威描述。格特鲁德·斯坦（1874-1946），实验散文作家，美国现代主义的鼻祖之一。她出生在宾夕法尼亚州，一生中大部分时间都和她的伴侣爱丽丝·b·托克拉斯（Alice B. Toklas）在巴黎生活。《三条命》（1909）、《温柔的纽扣》（1914）和《美国人的形成》（1925）等实验性书籍奠定了她作为前卫造型师的声誉，以及《爱丽丝B的自传》。托克拉斯使她成为国际名人。作为一名实验作家，她启发了本世纪无数小说家和诗人，从她那个时代的欧内斯特·海明威和伊迪丝·西特维尔，到我们这个时代的杰克·凯鲁亚克和罗伯特·邓肯。如果你喜欢《爱丽丝·b·托克拉斯自传》，你可能会喜欢弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的《奥兰多》，这本书也收录在《企鹅现代经典》中。“它的不拘小节、从容不迫的节奏、冷漠的幽默和尖刻的评论牢牢地抓住了读者”。（弗朗西斯·斯伯丁，《星期日泰晤士报》）。
A fascinating insight into the vibrant culture of Modernism, and the rich artistic world of Paris' Left Bank, Gertrude Stein's "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas" includes an introduction by Thomas Fensch in "Penguin Modern Classics". For Gertrude Stein and her wife Alice B. Toklas, life in Paris was based upon the rue de Fleurus and the Saturday evenings and 'it was like a kaleidoscope slowly turning'. Picasso was there with 'his high whinnying Spanish giggle', as were Cezanne and Matisse, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. As Toklas put it - 'The geniuses came and talked to Gertrude Stein and the wives sat with me'. A light-hearted entertainment, this is in fact Gertrude Stein's own autobiography and a roll-call of all the extraordinary painters and writers she met between 1903 and 1932. Audacious, sardonic and characteristically self-confident, this is a definitive account by American in Paris. Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), a writer of experimental prose, is one of the original American Modernists. Born in Pennsylvania, she lived most of her life in Paris with her partner, Alice B. Toklas. Experimental books like "Three Lives" (1909), "Tender Buttons" (1914), and "The Making of Americans" (1925) established her reputation as an avant-garde stylist, and "The Autobiography of Alice B". Toklas made her an international celebrity. As an experimental writer she has been an inspiration to countless novelists and poets in our century, from Ernest Hemingway and Edith Sitwell in her own time to Jack Kerouac and Robert Duncan in ours. If you enjoyed "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas", you might like Virginia Woolf's "Orlando", also available in "Penguin Modern Classics". "Buttonholes the reader with its informality, its unhurried rhythms, deadpan humour and acerbic remarks". (Frances Spalding, "Sunday Times").
