Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition
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, Seán 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.

Summary of Ernest Hemingway, Patrick Hemingway & Sean Hemingway's A Moveable Feast
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The city was sad all year round, but the first cold rains of winter brought everything to a head. The streets were wet and black, and the small shops were closed. There were no more tops to the high white houses, only the wet blackness of the street. #2 I was writing a story, and I was very excited. I was writing it now, and it was not writing itself. I was tired of rum St. James without thinking about it. Then the story was finished and I was very tired. I read the last paragraph and then looked up. The girl had gone. I was sad. #3 I would leave Paris and go to a place where the weather would be snowing, which would cover the road and the high hillsides. I would give up the room in the hotel where I wrote, and we would have money to make the trip.
