Sylvia Beach and the Lost Generation: A History of Literary Paris in the Twenties and Thirties | 
On this day, a hundred years ago, Sylvia Beach opened her English language bookshop in Paris! It also served as a lending library, and as a publishing house, becoming the first institution to publish James Joyce's Ulysses! 😍📚💕
#30JuneBooks #shelves Some of my favorites reside on these shelves .Surrealism , poetry, 20th century authors.And ,of course, some random books , always sorting!🤦♀️
pickThis may include too much detail and too little narrative propulsion for most readers, but if you are interested in the Lost Generation, this book is a treasure trove of information. I particularly enjoyed learning about Sylvia Beach, the founder of Paris's original Shakespeare & Company bookstore and an inspiring female who, in some ways, acted as a Litsy for her time.😉
