Paris was a party

Already in the twilight of his life, he narrates here the golden, wild and fruitful years of his youth in 1920s Paris, in the company of writers such as Scott Fitzgerald and Ezra Pound, the so-called "lost generation", according to the popular term coined at that time by Gertrude Stein, the mythical godmother of the group. A chronicle of the formation of a young writer, a portrait of a lost city, an ode to friendship and a true literary testament, "A Moveable Feast" is one of the key books for understanding the 20th century, as well as the universe and personality of one of its greatest creators.

About the author

Ernest Hemingway (Illinois; 1899) is undoubtedly one of the most important writers of the 20th century. He started in journalism at a very young age. At 19, he enlisted in World War I as a member of the Red Cross; he was a correspondent in the Spanish Civil War and other armed conflicts; and in the 1920s, he settled in Paris. There, he became part of an avant-garde literary circle, where he met writers of the stature of Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein, among others. Later, he lived in Cuba and remote parts of the United States. His most notable novels are A Farewell to Arms; For Whom the Bell Tolls; The Old Man and the Sea (winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1953) and the posthumous A Moveable Feast. He wrote dozens of short stories, and that was the preferred form of his masterful pen. In 1954, he won the Nobel Prize. Seven years later, he took his own life.
