One of Hemingway’s most celebrated works and one of the great books ever written about Paris. In this sequence of memoir pieces devoted to the Paris of the 1920s, Hemingway recreates with extraordinary economy of means and stylistic precision the literary world of the “Lost Generation”, in which he discovered his vocation alongside F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound, in a Paris that has now vanished.
