Items related to Paris France
Matched only by Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast, Paris France is a "fresh and sagacious" (The New Yorker) classic of prewar France and its unforgettable literary eminences.
Celebrated for her innovative literary bravura, Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) settled into a bustling Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, never again to return to her native America. While in Paris, she not only surrounded herself with―and tirelessly championed the careers of―a remarkable group of young expatriate artists but also solidified herself as "one of the most controversial figures of American letters" (New York Times).In Paris France (1940)―published here with a new introduction from Adam Gopnik―Stein unites her childhood memories of Paris with her observations about everything from art and war to love and cooking. The result is an unforgettable glimpse into a bygone era, one on the brink of revolutionary change.

“[A] testament of love...[and] affirmation of faith by one who knows the meaning of French civilization and loves France.”
- The Atlantic
“Less a love affair than an enduring marriage with a people and a country.”
- Guardian
“Full of charm, a very personal charm, and humor.”
- The Nation
“[Gertrude Stein’s] droll double vision is best appreciated in Paris France. First published in 1940 and freshly reissued with an introduction by Adam Gopnik, it’s a portrait of her beloved Paris pre-occupation, full of bons mots on fashion, food, art, and love―just the thing for a friend dreaming in French.”
