«La terre est ronde» is the children's story by Gertrude Stein, published by Rivages in paperback (109 pages, in French).
Gertrude Stein's first children's book: nine-year-old Rose and her cousin Willie face their fears and have adventures with a lion, a mountain, and a chair. Words repeat and turn endlessly, with echoes of nursery rhymes, as the narrative plays with the mechanisms of the tale and its deceptive lightness.
Original title: «The World is Round» (1939). This French edition belongs to the Rivages Poche. Petite Bibliothèque collection and features a translation by Marc Dachy and a preface by Chloé Thomas.
For child and young adult readers, and also for adults interested in Gertrude Stein's poetic side.
Gertrude Stein was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life. She hosted a Paris salon, where the leading figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, Sherwood Anderson and Henri Matisse, would meet.
