In the preface to A Moveable Feast, Hemingway remarks
casually that "if the reader prefers, this book may be regarded as
fiction"--and, indeed, fact or fiction, it doesn''t matter, for his
slim memoir of Paris in the 1920s is as enchanting as anything made
up and has become the stuff of legend. Paris in the ''20s!
Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley, lived happily on $5 a day and
still had money for drinks at the Closerie des Lilas, skiing in the
Alps, and fishing trips to Spain. On every corner and at every café
table, there were the most extraordinary people living wonderful
lives and telling fantastic stories. Gertrude Stein invited
Hemingway to come every afternoon and sip "fragrant, colorless
alcohols" and chat admid her great pictures. He taught
Ezra Pound how to box, gossiped
with James Joyce, caroused with the
fatally insecure Scott
Fitzgerald (the acid portraits of him and his
wife, Zelda, are notorious).
Meanwhile, Hemingway invented a new way of writing based on this
simple premise: "All you have to do is write one true sentence.
Write the truest sentence you know."
内容简介
Begun in the autumn of 1957 and published posthumously in 1964,
Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast captures what it meant
to be young and poor and writing in Paris during the 1920s. A
correspondent for the Toronto Star, Hemingway arrived in
Paris in 1921, three years after the trauma of the Great War and at
the beginning of the transformation of Europe's cultural landscape:
Braque and Picasso were experimenting with cubist forms; James
Joyce, long living in self-imposed exile from his native Dublin,
had just completed Ulysses; Gertude Stein held court at 27
rue de Fleurus, and deemed young Ernest a member of rue
génération perdue; and T. S. Eliot was a bank clerk in London.
It was during these years that the as-of-yet unpublished young
writer gathered the material for his first novel, The Sun Also
Rises, and the subsequent masterpieces that followed.
