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. "Shakespeare and Company" evokes the zeitgeist of an era through its revealing glimpses of James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Sherwood Anderson, Andre Gide, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, D. H. Lawrence, and others already famous or soon to be. In his introduction to this new edition, James Laughlin recalls his friendship with Sylvia Beach. 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.
如果有人问起,你最想去的地方是哪里,我一定毫不犹豫地回答:上世纪20-40年代的巴黎。 根本不需要更多一条的理由,只要将目光锁定那座1919年11月19日诞生于巴黎杜皮特行街8号(两年后迁址至剧院街12号直至1941年关闭)的莎士比亚书店,就已足够。 书店主人西尔薇娅·毕奇,一...
评分在大家都感叹书店难以在这个商业时代存活下来时,犹让人想起那些著名的书店,它们以人文彰显自己的特色。而“莎士比亚书店”就是其中的个案,它被誉为“世界上最美的书店”之一,也是巴黎的文化地标和全世界独立书店的标杆,至今仍让全世界的爱书人津津乐道。为什么会出现...
评分自从出版了乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》后,毕奇女士的莎士比亚书店就成了乔伊斯的个人事务代理所,来往书信、收支账务、订购图书,乔伊斯的事儿总是忙不完,更甚的是,每临近周末,乔伊斯总会拿出一大堆事来,但是毕奇女士说:“我可以为乔伊斯做任何事,但是我周末必须休假!”几乎...

评分Walt Whitman在Bucherie的家
评分a glorious age and a peculiar crowd. Beach herself isn't a particularly engaging storyteller and the book is almost entirely focused on Joyce (looking for scott and hemingway I finished it a bit disappointed). some language interestingly reflect certain ideas that now seem outdated. hemingway's own movable feast is way better.
评分太多不认识的作家只怪自己才疏学浅。
评分爱这个书店!爱Sylvia Beach!读的时候那些人事物感觉就在旁边发生!
