Markings: possible previous owner inscription.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most celebrated works of literary modernism, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas is Gertrude Stein's brilliantly unconventional memoir, written entirely from the perspective of her lifelong partner and companion, Alice B. Toklas. Rather than a straightforward autobiography, Stein constructs an intimate portrait of bohemian Paris in the early twentieth century, chronicling her friendships with the era's most towering artistic figures — Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald among them. Written with sharp wit and deceptive simplicity, the narrative presents a vivid insider account of the Modernist movement, placing Stein's own salon at 27 rue de Fleurus at the very centre of the avant-garde world. At once a memoir, a literary manifesto, and a gossipy social history, the book stands as a testament to Stein's genius for reinventing form while illuminating the lives of the artists who transformed Western culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956423110875,"sku":"2026200008883-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8ca5305f-a2ea-4e1c-843f-9e2c8a26b50f.png?v=1783500846","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008883-secondhand-the-autobiography-of-alice-b-toklas","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
