Summary

 Ernest Hemingway’s classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, now available in a restored edition, includes the original manuscript along with insightful recollections and unfinished sketches.

Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway’s most enduring works. Since Hemingway’s personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined the changes made to the text before publication. Now, this special restored edition presents the original manuscript as the author prepared it to be published.

Featuring a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest’s sole surviving son, and an introduction by grandson of the author, Seán Hemingway, editor of this edition, the book also includes a number of unfinished, never-before-published Paris sketches revealing experiences that Hemingway had with his son, Jack, and his first wife Hadley. Also included are irreverent portraits of literary luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Maddox Ford, and insightful recollections of Hemingway’s own early experiments with his craft.

Widely celebrated and debated by critics and readers everywhere, the restored edition of A Moveable Feast brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized.

A masterpiece of the genre. An achingly beautiful insight into Hemingway, the times and the places. Plus a brilliant reader.

Like a movable Café in Paris itself, this audio book can be revisited so many times at any page in whatever weather, best of all, of course, is when it’s raining.

You’ll hear some lovely anecdotes of writers/ artists living in the same era as Hemingway, which is most unique and refreshing. It was like your high school desk mate telling you about the girl from the class next door.

Hemingway also explores his relationship with writing, that he speaks of with such respect and affection. I came across many famous sentences I’ve read before as quotes throughout my literary eduction in my teenage hood. It felt both nostalgic and very endearing.

Hemingway, one of the lost generation, a novelist, journalist, raconteur etc who's prose enlightened my reading as a young man in the sixties, and every decade since.

Exceptional

This is my first Hemingway book and unlike anything I’ve read before. And I loved it. If you’re looking for action and drama, this isn’t it - but if you’re looking to escape to Paris in the 1920s, learning a little about legendary writers and artists on the way, there couldn’t be a better way.

If you’ve watched midnight in Paris, it really brings many of the characters in this book to life. So recommend you do so.

Part of the reason why this audiobook book is so enjoyable is the narration. Absolutely top notch. Sadly this seems not to be the case with the other Hemingway books I’ve previewed since.
