Begun in the autumn of 1957 and published posthumously in 1964, Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast captures what it meant to be young and poor and writing in Paris during the 1920s. A correspondent for the Toronto Star, Hemingway arrived in Paris in 1921, three years after the trauma of the Great War and at the beginning of the transformation of Europe's cultural landscape: Braque and Picasso were experimenting with cubist form; James Joyce, long living in self-imposed exile from his native Dublin, had just completed Ulysses; Gertrude Stein held court at 27 Rue de Fleur, and deemed young Ernest a member of one generation perdue; and T.S. Eliot was a bank clerk in London. It was during these years that the as-of-yet unpublished young writer gathered the material for his first novel The Sun Also Rises, and the subsequent masterpieces that followed.

When our country entered WW I, most Americans lived in small towns, had not traveled outside the United States, had never attended college, and thought of Europe as remote, backward and dirty. We might have continued in our happy ignorance but for the efforts of a small band of literary Americans who took up residence in Paris after the war. Their stories, reports and memoirs tilted our imagination eastward, and ever since an annual crop of collegiate novitiates has flooded the Continent. Ernest Hemingway was one of those Americans in Paris in the 1920s and A MOVEABLE FEAST is a collection of his early pieces written there. In these sketches, he recreates the exciting and original life of the city, draws portraits from his first marriage and gives us a taste of the discipline required in developing his own literary craft.
