«La brave Anna» is a story by Gertrude Stein published by Folio in paperback (135 pages, in French).
The narrative follows Anna Federner, a German housekeeper of sullen and stubborn character who runs Miss Mathilde's household. Her days pass grey and monotonous, marked only by the small tensions of the home, until an ending that reveals a life not fully lived. Stein portrays the routine and the thwarted destiny of a simple heart.
This French edition, translated by Raymond Schwab, comes from Gertrude Stein's volume «Trois vies».
For readers of classic fiction and for those who want to read Gertrude Stein in French in a short text.
