A Moveable Feast
by Ernest Hemingway
by Ernest Hemingway
Remember where and when you were most satisfied intellectually and physically, stimulated to just the right measure, and your talents seemed limitless? In Hemingway's case, all this and more came to fruition in Paris in the 1920s.
Supported by friends like Sylvia Beach of Shakespeare and Company lending library and book store, mentors like James Joyce, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein, Hemingway's youth, talent, and curiosity peaked in the City of Light. Sparsely written with the maturity of twenty-five years, the man weighed down in later life with too many negative experiences, is lean in A MOVEABLE FEAST.
Using Hemingway's memoir as a tour guide, you can still find Ernest and Hadley's apartment on Rue Mouffetard, Ezra Pound's house and the courtyard of Gertrude Stein where Picasso and Ford Madox Ford must have enjoyed tea, colorless alcohol and cakes prepared by Alice, Ms. Stein's partner in work and life.
Published after Hemingway's death in 1961 and closest to an autobiography, A MOVEABLE FEAST continues to satisfy reader's hunger for Paris and The Lost Generation. Highest Recommendation! Favorites!

“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”
