Publisher's summary

Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. It is his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, filled with irreverent portraits of other expatriate luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein; tender memories of his first wife, Hadley; and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft. It is a literary feast, brilliantly evoking the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the youthful spirit, unbridled creativity, and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized.

Critic reviews

"Hemingway beautifully captures the fragile magic of a special time and place, and he manages to be nostalgic without hitting any false notes of sentimentality." (Amazon.com)

Lusciously Transported to Paris

A short Hemingway novel told in episodic splendor. I was lusciously transported to 1920's Paris. His stories with Gertrude Stein were an eye-opener to her life as were the ones with F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was fun watching him dodge their neurosis. I didn't want this novel to end. The reader was just serviceable. He sometimes sounded too dear to read Hem.

simply marvelous

wonderful insight into the life of Hemmingway. such a charming book, 10/10 would reccomend!

Commuting Feast

Perfect story for a commute- enjoyed in stages while driving to- from work. First try at an audible book and made th commute go faster

View of a different time

I enjoyed listening to this snippet of his life his own words. It was an important time in a beloved place. His story is larger than life in many accounts, but this is a simple, spare story which invites further exploration of the characters in it.

Poor And Happy

Delightful remembrance of Paris in the 20s. The cast of this include Pound, Fitzgerald, Stein, etc. Posthumously published Mary Hemingway! Wonderful title for scholars and general readers.
A MUST READ BEFORE A TRIP TO PARIS‼️

What I always wanted to know

I picked up this title after watching my favorite movie MIDNIGHT IN PARIS for the 10th time. Here is a chunk of history every writer should read.

Wonderful! Feel Paris and youth!

This book lets you feel Paris even if you have not been there. It feels like youth and is a reminder of the potential we all felt and wish we had. Beautiful.

Not To Be Missed

A Moveable Feast is a poignant memoir written at the end of Hemingway's life, in which he remembers his first wife, and the innocent years of their marriage, with a fine wistfulness. His anecdotes profiling the famous artists and writers are written with his hallmark spareness which, even so, is imbued with wit and humor made all the more delightful for its brevity - conveying so much with so little. A key component to enjoying this audible book is the narrator. James Naughton is simply outstanding. His pace is relaxed, and the inflections and rhythms of his voice bring the words to life. He so perfectly interprets the author's words and purpose that - truly - one can believe they are listening to Hemingway himself. A book and a listening experience not to be missed.
