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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith an Introduction by Thomas Fensch\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":54697524691282,"sku":"9780141185361","price":13.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_c9251ec6-1790-48c4-ad80-2594bb5467bf.jpg?v=1789206046","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/the-autobiography-of-alice-b-toklas","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
