Ernest Hemingway called Paris his 'moveable feast,' and this travelogue follows the Lost Generation writer through the cafes, bookshops, and boulevards that shaped A Farewell to Arms, The Sun Also Rises, and the extraordinary memoir A Moveable Feast itself. Paris in the 1920s was the center of the literary world, and Hemingway was at its heart.
The journey visits Sylvia Beach's legendary Shakespeare and Company bookshop, the brasseries and cafes of Montparnasse where Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Stein, and Joyce argued about literature over wine, the Jardin du Luxembourg where Hemingway claimed to have caught pigeons for food during his early impoverished years, and the apartment on rue Cardinal Lemoine where it all began.
This is Paris seen through the eyes of a writer who loved it more than any other city — and who managed, in his memoir, to make every reader feel that they too had lived there during those extraordinary years. A literary pilgrimage of the highest order.
