The work consists of three independent novellas: The Good Anna, Melanctha, and The Gentle Lena. Each of the titular characters lives in Bridgepoint, a fictional town based on Baltimore.</p><p>The Good Anna explores the life of strong-willed Anna Federner, a woman of solid lower middle-class south German stock. The story follows the relationships Anna develops with the women in the households in which she works as a servant, and explores in particular the theme of bonding between women.</p><p>Melanctha is an unconventional novella in which Stein explores what it is to seek meaning and fulfillment amidst the complexities and challenges of life. Melanctha, the daughter of a black father and a mixed-race mother, is unsatisfied with her life in segregated Bridgepoint. She launches into a passionate search for knowledge and power, within complicated cross-currents of race, sex and gender.</p><p>The Gentle Lena recounts the life of Lena, who (like Anna in the first story) is an immigrant from Germany, now living in Bridgepoint. Lena is also a servant, but ends up marrying Herman Kreder, at the behest of the elders in their lives. In contrast to Anna Federner, who is willful and determined, Lenas life is marked by a consistent passivity, which Stein explores throughout the narrative.</p><p>The three lives presented by Stein are compelling, and reflect the authors philosophical and literary values. Her use of repetition is particularly pronounced in both Melanctha and The Good Lena.</p>...6830880Three Lives471471https://www.gandhi.com.mx/three-lives-9798228365469/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6716342/image.jpg?v=638699628059400000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20259798228365469_W3siaWQiOiJiOTEzY2Y5YS1lZGUzLTQxZDctODA2OC1hZmVhN2JlMzdiODAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6NDU5LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNS0wMS0xNFQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc0VsaWdpYmxlRm9yQ3JlZGl0VHJpYWwiOnRydWUsImNyZWRpdFB1cmNoYXNlUHJpY2UiOjF9XQ==9798228365469_<p>Three Lives was written in 1905/06 and published in 1909 at the authors expense.
