LARGE PRINT EDITION. Three Lives (1909) is a collection of novellas
by Gertrude Stein. Characterized by its straightforward narrative
style and disjointed prose, Three Lives proved a breakthrough for
Stein, who had previously found it difficult bringing her works to
publication. Each novella is set in Bridgepoint, a fictionalized
version of Baltimore, where working class people of all races
undergo the dignities and indignities of life in an industrialized
nation. In “The Good Anna,” an immigrant housekeeper working in
the home of a wealthy woman commands respect and order from all who
cross her path. Caring only for her three small dogs, she does her
best to forget a traumatic past. Having lost her mother in Germany
at a young age, Anna moved to Bridgepoint with hope for a better
future, but poor health and unlucky relationships haunt her
throughout her life. “Melanctha” is the story of a young
mixed-race woman who suffers from a lack of opportunity in a
segregated city. Despite being honest and empathetic, she
constantly finds herself betrayed and abandoned by those she
trusts, and soon her pure heart and kind nature reach their limit.
In “The Gentle Lana,” another German immigrant endures the
banality and heartbreak of unhappily married life, raising a family
and caring for a home without ever feeling fulfilled as an
individual. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Gertrude Stein’s Three Lives
is a classic work of American literature reimagined for modern
readers.
