Sylvia Beach was intimately acquainted with the expatriate and visiting writers of the Lost Generation, a label that she never accepted. Like moths of great promise, they were drawn to her well-lighted bookstore and warm hearth on the Left Bank.

Like her bookstore, his publishing house, New Directions, is considered a cultural touchstone.
Sylvia Beach (March 14, 1887 – October 5, 1962), born Nancy Woodbridge Beach, was an American-born bookseller and publisher who lived most of her life in Paris, where she was one of the leading expatriate figures between World War I and II.

评分一家书店见证及深度参与一个时代的文学思潮与运动,如今是极难想象的,若有,多半也是前朝往事了。因为既要有时代的风云际会,亦要有虔诚于文化的助产士与出类拔萃的作家汇集一处,而这些,均已风流云散不见踪迹,于是,曾经的莎士比亚书店成为了可供追怀的传奇,源于其别无...

评分真正的“谈笑有鸿儒 往来无白丁”的地方,能拥有这样一家书店真是此生别无他求了。在感叹Finnegans Wake绝难读懂的时候,为什么不来看看本书里那位鲜活亲切的James Joyce呢?
