A legendary memoir by Ernest Hemingway, published posthumously in 1964 under the editorship of his fourth wife, Mary Hemingway. This intimate, witty, and deeply nostalgic collection of vignettes transports the reader to 1920s Paris, reviving the time when Hemingway lived as a poor but happy budding writer and expatriate journalist. Through vivid descriptions of Parisian streets, smoky cafés, and drafty apartments, the author chronicles his first love and marriage to Hadley Richardson, while also offering fascinating reflections on the discipline of writing and the painstaking process of finding his own literary voice.As a crucial document of an unrepeatable era, the book offers direct, sharp, and endlessly intriguing portraits of the leading figures of the "Lost Generation" who then formed the cultural heart of the French capital. Hemingway writes without reservation about the complicated genius of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda, gatherings at the salon of his mentor Gertrude Stein, his warm friendship with Ezra Pound, and casual encounters with James Joyce. This cult work is best summarized by the author himself in his immortal words: “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.” An essential read for all collectors, lovers of fine literature, and eternal enthusiasts of Paris.
