The upcoming book shows us Paris from the perspective of an American living in France. In this work, Gertrude recounts her memories of her childhood in France and all her observations in Paris. He talks about all the events in France before the war. Stein's writing style has turned this book into a work that can be considered the cornerstone of modern American prose. As Adam Gopnik stated in the introduction of the book; His style is a bit more self-conscious, melodious, and praiseworthy, similar to Ernest Hemingway's writing style. In this work, we hear many facts about the French from the words of an American. If you are interested in the culture and life of people in other countries and want to feel yourself in the heart of other societies, this work is suitable for you.
Excerpt from the book:
The first time I was in Paris and I had a maid for several years, we were very good friends, her name was Helen. One day, completely by chance, I don't know how it happened, because I had no interest in the subject, I came out and told her, Helen, which political party is your husband a member of? She had always told me everything, even her most private troubles with her family and her husband, but when I said which political party your husband is a member of, her face became confused. Did not answer. I said, what happened to you, Helen, is it a secret? He replied, "No, madam, it's not a secret, but you don't say these things." Adam does not say which political party he is a member of. Even though I have a political party, but I don't say it. I have been in France for many years, but I was surprised and started to inquire and they were all the same. They all said the same thing, it's not a secret, but people don't say it. The son does not know which party his father is a member of or the son's father's party. This is why Fazon Komen's recent life was so short. All of them said that they all had to say and they said all day what their political party was and of course, he could not live long, he could not anymore. No, fame doesn't matter in France. Tradition and private life and the land that always produces something, this is what counts. Mrs. Lindbergh was in Paris and she and I were talking. America, which had hurt its reputation, had hurt all of them. They didn't pay attention to them in England, but the Lindbergh family knew, and England also knew that they existed. In France, when they meet you, they pay attention to you, but they don't bother you, because the French, in the interval between meetings, when they don't see you, it's as if you're not there at all.
