Journey Into the Self: being the letters, papers, and journals of Leo Stein

Van Wyck Brooks

0/5 ( ratings)

Here is a striking portrait of one of the most unusual and original men of our time. It is an autobiographical chronicle revealing the extraordinary mind of an independent thinker. This book embraces the wide human interests of a truly extraordinary life, filled with intimate acquaintances among the notable artistic and literary figures of our time...from Leo Stein's famous sister, Gertrude, to D.H. Lawrence, Picasso, Matisse, Norman Douglas and many others.Stein's own letters tell the strong, and alternately tender and tumultuous story of his love for Nina, the toast of the Quarter...which ripened, surprisingly, into marriage and a deep, permanent love.Writing with the warmth of tenderness or of anger, with conviction, clarity, and precision, Stein ranges over a tremendous field of subjects, including painting, literature, psychoanalysis and politics.. and his thoughts, insights and meditations provide that gratifying stimulus that every serious reader seeks and appreciates.
