Le Livre de lecture

Rate this book
Un chien qui désire apprendre à lire, un petit garçon nommé Charlie Tsar qui passe son temps à compter les "c", etc. Ce petit  Livre de lecture , inédit en français,   propose une vingtaine de leçons facétieuses, potentiellement destinées à un public enfantin, qui jouent avec la langue, la grammaire, les sonorités, et le sens. Sous leur allure désinvolte et ludique, ces courts textes questionnent avec une remarquable acuité notre pratique de la lecture et proposent un concentré de l'écriture de Gertrude Stein, figure tutélaire de la modernité littéraire américaine. Le livre paraitra sous la forme d'un petit manuel élégant, à la manière des livres de lecture d'antan, ornementé d'une trentaine de dessins inédits d'Alice Lorenzi.

About the author

Gertrude Stein

412 books1,193 followers
Gertrude Stein was an American writer who spent most of her life in France, and who became a catalyst in the development of modern art and literature. Her life was marked by two primary relationships, the first with her brother Leo Stein, from 1874-1914, and the second with Alice B. Toklas, from 1907 until Stein's death in 1946. Stein shared her salon at 27 rue de Fleurus, Paris, first with Leo and then with Alice. Throughout her lifetime, Stein cultivated significant tertiary relationships with well-known members of the avant garde artistic and literary world of her time.
