About this listen

When Ernest Hemingway died in 1961 he had nearly completed A Moveable Feast, which eventually was published posthumously in 1964 and edited by his widow Mary Hemingway. This new special edition of Hemingway's classic memoir of his early years in Paris in the 1920's presents the original manuscript as the author intended it to be published at the time of his death.

This new publication also includes a number of unfinished Paris sketches on writing and experiences that Hemingway had with his son, Jack, his wife Hadley, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ford Maddox Ford and others. A personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest's sole surviving son, precedes an introduction by the editor, Sean Hemingway, grandson of the author.

A perfect book

Such a wonderful book beautifully read and I couldn’t stop listening!
In the car, round the house, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Over too soon. But I’ll listen to it again soon! Top notch narration.

Very enjoyable and useful

This audio book gives interesting information about the author's life. This proved invaluable to me when I was studying the author. It enabled be to link together the book I was studying at the time (Fiesta) and some of his other short stories and novels. It also gives fascinating information about the other artists Hemingway used to know.

Near Perfect

My only criticism is that it was over too soon.
Beautifully evocative and dreamily fragmentary.

I love this book

as far as I am concerned this is one of Hemingway best books,the way he describes everything especially the smells and the taste of the food that he ate.the words are beautiful and take you on a journey though Paris and beyond.

An Unforgetable Memoir

This is an excellent memoir of Ernest Hemingway's life in Paris. It's descriptions of Paris in the twenties are vivid and feature characters such as Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein. The memoir is superbly narrated and is very moving throughout. I have listened to this audio-book several times and it impresses me every time.

Excellent book

I thoroughly enjoyed the book narrated by John Bedford Lloyd. It is a shame he has not done any of books by Ernest Hemingway

I moved it to the back of my list

I really didn't get on with this and after a couple of chapters I gave up. There was something so self serving about the re-hashed memoir (notes from an earlier period, re-edited once he was famous. I'm not interested in the flavour of pre-war tangerines in a cafe in Paris, or some famous author's sexual fantasy about the waitress. Call me a philistine, but I'm just not. I eat my own tangerines etc., and maybe read his novels.
