Description

Uma das autoras mais importantes do modernismo, Gertrude Stein ficou conhecida por questionar os fundamentos básicos da narrativa realista e experimentar com os limites da linguagem, e as sementes de seu estilo radical se encontram no seu livro de estreia a respeito de diferentes mulheres, Três vidas. Publicado originalmente em 1909, Três vidas acompanha as agruras de três mulheres trabalhadoras enquanto lidam com questões de classe, matrimônio, hierarquia e raça — "A boa Anna" e "A gentil Lena" tratam de imigrantes generosas e ingênuas, enquanto "Melanctha" aborda as nuances da vivência de uma mulher birracial no começo do século XX. Organizado como um tríptico, à moda de Três contos, de Flaubert, o livro de Stein é marcado pela sua prosa hipnótica, que utiliza a repetição de forma criativa e irônica, e abre as portas para uma das vozes mais inovadoras da literatura mundial.
