  tauruseducation | Jun 7, 2013 |  What can I really say about this book? A very personal account of living in Paris in the 1920's. On one hand you have his dealings with and impressions of such characters as Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, Ford Maddox Ford, T.S. Eliot, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. On the other hand there is a tender and wistful account of a place, a time, and a girl. The elements are blended together in style so unmistakably Hemingway. This small pocket edition worked perfectly as it is a story best read at a cafe or similar establishment. (  ) EricFitz08 | Apr 27, 2013 | I liked this book. Hemingway did a good job of writing a series of interesting chapters, each of which had something unique in it. In addition, I enjoyed his well written descriptions. While I have no intention of becoming an artist, this book gave me some insight into the lives of artists. (  ) AJiaIA | Apr 20, 2013 | In a drama filled memoir of his experiences in Paris, Hemingway successfully conveys the struggles and triumphs of an aspiring author. Despite many tension creating scenes - specifically those related to the health of his acquaintance Scott Fitzgerald, a few chapters are long and drawn out often to the extent of boring the reader. Overall though, it is worth reading (and in my opinion, much more entertaining than his more well known novel, "The Old Man and the Sea". ( ) ALevettIA | Apr 19, 2013 | Brilliant. Fitzgerald could create a flawless story, Hemingway could create a flawless sentence. ( ) InDreamsAwake | Apr 5, 2013 | nincs kritika | kritika hozzáadása
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 068482499X, Paperback)In the preface to A Moveable Feast, Hemingway remarks casually that "if the reader prefers, this book may be regarded as fiction"--and, indeed, fact or fiction, it doesn't matter, for his slim memoir of Paris in the 1920s is as enchanting as anything made up and has become the stuff of legend. Paris in the '20s! Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley, lived happily on $5 a day and still had money for drinks at the Closerie des Lilas, skiing in the Alps, and fishing trips to Spain. On every corner and at every café table, there were the most extraordinary people living wonderful lives and telling fantastic stories. Gertrude Stein invited Hemingway to come every afternoon and sip "fragrant, colorless alcohols" and chat admid her great pictures. He taught Ezra Pound how to box, gossiped with James Joyce, caroused with the fatally insecure Scott Fitzgerald (the acid portraits of him and his wife, Zelda, are notorious). Meanwhile, Hemingway invented a new way of writing based on this simple premise: "All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know."Hemingway beautifully captures the fragile magic of a special time and place, and he manages to be nostalgic without hitting any false notes of sentimentality. "This is how Paris was in the early days when we were very poor and very happy," he concludes. Originally published in 1964, three years after his suicide, A Moveable Feast was the first of his posthumous books and remains the best. --David Laskin (Amazonról letöltve Wed, 02 Jan 2013 12:42:37 -0500) A Hemingway memoir recounting stories of himself, his wife, and his literary friends during their early years in Paris.
