A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition
A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition | Ernest Hemingway
176 posts | 217 read | 3 reading | 90 to read
Published for the first time as Ernest Hemingway intended, one of the great writer's most enduring works: his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. Since Hemingway's personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined and debated the changes made to the text before publication. Now this new 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 the editor and grandson of the author, Sen Hemingway, this new edition 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 other luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Madox Ford, and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft. Sure to excite critics and readers alike, 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.

Delightful. Short. A look at Hemmingway‘s life in Paris 1921-26, driven to write while still happily married and still unknown. Oh, there are many reasons to visit the Louve, but the reason given here was a new one for me. ☺️

Recommended by a colleague. I forgot how much i loved reading Hemingway in high school. Love his succinct writing style. Paris in the 20‘s sounded like the place to be.

August's #TitlesandTunes took some puzzling, but then I remembered a very vivid description of eating oysters from Hemingway and thought it would be a wonderful month to revisit A Moveable Feast. And what could pair better with Hemingway's Paris than a song by Cole Porter? https://open.spotify.com/track/1unklhCEg2sOraisyjedC5?si=9c7780c4bb214e2a

At 130 episodes we finally get around to talking Hemingway and... he's actually pretty good? Perhaps even lives up to his legendary status? Or was that all self serving fluff? Tune in to find out!

This week we are diving into the 1964 book, “A Moveable Feast,“ by Ernest Hemingway. So much to talk about when discussing Hemingway, and we delve into the book but also Hemingway in general. A very entertaining episode, and not our last Hemingway episode by any means. Enjoy!

A Moveable Feast is equally claustrophobic and sprawling. Everything we touch, taste, see, smell, hear is strictly filtered through Hemingway‘s lens. We are acutely aware that he is controlling our senses, yet by doing so he opens wide 1920s Paris in such a way that we feel we know every inch of the city—its cafes, its nighttime alleys, its rooftops. The feast is as much about what‘s not on the table as what is, and all of it is sumptuous.

I felt compelled to read this because it‘s Ernest Hemingway, but it was tough to finish. It is short, so possible to push through. I have heard some people hate one of his works, but love another, so I want to try others. He never finished & published this one, so that intrigued me too. Oh well, on to the next!

One of my favorites in which Hemingway spends a lot of time in Paris cafes writing and drinking white wine.

Also enjoyed the Ken Burns Hemingway documentary from last year. Really interesting look at a talented, but very flawed figure.

📚📚📚📚 A series of true to life vignettes surrounding Hemingway‘s early Paris life. Collection includes interludes with Fitzgerald, Pound, Ford, Stein and mentions other great arts figures. Not for the easily offended or without historical context. A rich tableau of what a creative existence was in the early 1900‘s without heavy existential conundrums.

Before this my only exposure to Hemingway was reading The Old Man and the Sea in High School and The Paris Wife which angered me so much I swore I would never read his books again. But then I saw the PBS special on his life and decided to give him a chance to redeem himself. I really liked this book, but I will be re-reading The Paris Wife this weekend.

DivineDiana I felt the same about “The Paris Wife”. Also thought I should watch the Hemingway special and give him another chance. And I still feel the same. Strong negative feelings about him. 4y

Finally finished reading as I‘m also watching the Ken Burns PBS documentary. If I could give more than 5⭐️ I would. Quintessential Hemingway...and I love his writing. Fascinating window into his day to day life in the early Paris years. Mind you, it is Hemingway so largely unreliable but his classic writing style. I think, however, I enjoy it so much b/c I know a bit about his life. Reading without any background knowledge might be less enjoyable.

SamAnne This is one of his I haven‘t yet read. But I‘m also feeling prompted by the documentary. 4y
cathysaid I thought it was more interesting to read along with/after the documentary. It‘s a pretty quick read. 4y

#AMoveableFeast #ErnestHemingway

"You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil." 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.

I would like to read this!

Finally read this classic collection of short stories or essays on Hemingway‘s time in Paris. Everyone is a little cagey about the truthfulness here. An interesting look at Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s personalities, but not as romantic as I expected it to be.

"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans."

#BookMail Pt5 I recently read a beautiful description of a person living in Paris & reading this classic Hemingway every day. It was so lovely, but I cannot for the life of me, remember where I read it!! It‘s driving me nuts.🤨 It‘s the reason I finally bought my first Hemingway, about his life in Paris after the Great War. I really wish I could remember it.

I read A Farewell to Arms in high school and thought I‘d sworn off Hemingway forever, but I‘ve read a few of his short stories in the past couple of years that made me re-think that. I really enjoyed this book in which Hemingway talks about his life in Paris and his time spent with several of his literary friends. Made me want to read travel memoirs or better yet, travel and write about it myself! Glad I finally read this one!

This is a memoir of Hemingway's time in Paris, mostly pre-Pauline. It's hard to critique this as a literary work, because it only read like he had literary intentions in spurts. I enjoyed this for all of his intentions: a record of 1920s Paris, a truth-telling about the quirks myriad behind the famous names, an imparting of wisdom to writers and life lessons to all, and, perhaps, an unburdening of regrets and letter of apology to Hadley.
