Ernest Hemingway – A Moveable Feast – First UK Edition 1964
£150.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘A Moveable Feast’ published by Cape in 1964. A very good book without inscriptions – with some spotting to the page edges, in a very good clipped wrapper with a little rubbing and light loss to the corners and edges and some spotting. Rare.
Published posthumously in 1964, the book provides a vivid and nostalgic account of Hemingway’s experiences as a struggling young writer in 1920s Paris. The title, “A Moveable Feast,” refers to the idea that this time in his life will always be with him, an ever-changing feast of memories.
Hemingway reflects on his interactions with other literary figures of the time, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, and Ezra Pound. The memoir captures the atmosphere of post-World War I Paris, portraying the cafes, streets, and the challenges and joys of a writer’s life. Written with Hemingway’s characteristic spare and elegant prose, “A Moveable Feast” is celebrated for its insights into the creative process and its depiction of the Lost Generation.
