Overview

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, Se n 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.

  • Revisiting Hemingway's memoir of life in Paris in the 1920s

    William K. - 6 years 3 months ago

    Now available in this restored edition, with a foreword by Patrick Hemingway (Hemingway's son), an introduction and edited by Sean Hemingway (Hemingway's grandson), A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition is likely destined to become one of the author's most abiding works just as the edition published posthumously by Scribner in 1964. There are the portraits of literary figures such as Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sylvia Beach, as well as memories of the author's own creative process with his writing. This restored edition also includes unfinished, unpublished fragments about the life that the author shared with wife Hadley and their son Jack. Celebrated as well as debated, it has been stated that A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition should not necessarily be regarded as any more definitive than the '64 edition although Sean Hemingway has said: "I think this edition is right to set the record straight."
