Summary

Gertrude Stein: The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas

As we live in an irrational environment of "celebrity culture" with daily media bombardment about the "achievements" of short-term pop stars, it is worth remembering the former, famous for many reasons, couples from the world of art and literature, such as: Oscar Wilde and Alfred Douglas, Jean Cocteau and Jean Marais, Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville–West or Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. The American duo of Jewish origin on the cover of this book catches the eye already with their appearance: large and domineering Gertrude Stein in "masculine" styled clothes alongside slender and slender Alice B. Toklas in feminine dresses. But their life together and associations with the artistic elite of their time is even more vividly described in this, in fact, joint autobiography, written, allegedly, in the words of Alice B. Toklas as written down by Gertrude Stein!
Misses Stein and Toklas were among the most famous patrons of art and artists in the first half of the 20th century, so that in their "Saturday Salon" at 27 Rue de Fleurus in Paris, all significant representatives of modern and avant-garde currents gathered: Picasso, Cézanne, Matisse, Picabia, Braque, Cocteau, Duchamp, Satie, Apollinaire, Hemingway, Anderson, Fitzgerald, Bowles... Gertrude Stein called the last in the series the "lost generation", and this, along with the famous "A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose", became one of her most famous quotes.
Unlike today's media-produced ones, Gertrude Stein was and remains a celebrity with thick coverage - excellent, avant-garde and a very prolific writer; she published about fifty books, and the Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas was declared by Time magazine in 2011 as the best nonfiction book since 1923, when it first appeared on newsstands!
