About this listen

 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.©2009 the Hemingway Copyright Owners; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster, Inc Art & Literature Authors Historical Celebrity

This audio book gives interesting information about the author's life. This proved invaluable to me when I was studying the author. It enabled be to link together the book I was studying at the time (Fiesta) and some of his other short stories and novels. It also gives fascinating information about the other artists Hemingway used to know.

Very enjoyable and useful

This is an excellent memoir of Ernest Hemingway's life in Paris. It's descriptions of Paris in the twenties are vivid and feature characters such as Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein. The memoir is superbly narrated and is very moving throughout. I have listened to this audio-book several times and it impresses me every time.

An Unforgetable Memoir

Such a wonderful book beautifully read and I couldn’t stop listening!
In the car, round the house, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Over too soon. But I’ll listen to it again soon! Top notch narration.

A perfect book
