    About this ebook

    An “achingly effective” portrait of the city that inspired one of the twentieth century’s greatest authors (Booklist, starred review).
     
    No other place in any of Ernest Hemingway’s travels was as significant, professionally or emotionally, as was Paris. The gorgeous black-and-white photographs and accompanying text in this book capture the complexity, beauty, and intrigue that Hemingway described in the pages of so much of his work, and tells a story of remarkable passion—for a city, a woman, and a time.
     
    The history, the streets, and the restaurants, hotels, homes, sites, and favorite bars are all detailed here. Robert Wheeler also discusses Hemingway’s torment, talent, and obstacles, as well as his places of refuge. As a teacher and photojournalist, he has traveled throughout France, Italy, Spain, Africa, and Cuba in order to gain insight into Hemingway’s work. Here, through his journal and photographs, Wheeler portrays the intimate connection Hemingway had with the woman he never stopped loving, Hadley, and with the city he loved most, Paris.
     
    “By showing us the Paris that Hemingway saw, walked through, and loved, Robert Wheeler gives us a more complete picture than we have had of this legendary and complicated American writer.” —Henry Louis Gates Jr.

    Author

    Robert Wheeler

    Robert Wheeler fondly recalls time spent with his daughters along Boston’s Freedom Trail, from pushing a stroller, to walking hand-in-hand. The rich and fascinating stories evoked by each historic site, as well as the exceptional charm of Boston’s quaint city streets, shops, and restaurants, lured him back again and again, inspiring this sensory and absorbing book. Robert is also the author of Hemingway’s Paris: A Writer’s City in Words and Images and Hemingway’s Havana: A Reflection of the Writer’s Life in Cuba. He lives near the sea in New Castle, New Hampshire, with his wife, Meme.

      This is a lovely book of contemporary black & white photographs of various Hemingway-related sites in Paris. Although the photography is present-day, views of people and modern day buildings are kept to a minimum, which definitely gives you the illusion of seeing these locales as if you were viewing them in the 1920's when Ernest Hemingway and his first wife Hadley came to Paris and the writer began his career. Hemingway's Paris memoir "A Moveable Feast" is the main reference point of his works to this travel/photography companion. It was actually somewhat surprising how many of the apartments, hotels, cafes and bar/restaurants from those days are still around or even in business! Shakespeare and Co. is another touchstone here, but as the author admits the current bookstore is in a new locale, different from that of Sylvia Beach's that Hemingway was familiar with. This is highly recommended for Hemingway and Moveable Feast fans!It could, however, have done with a bit more copy/editing, especially for something luxury priced as it is (it retails for $34.99 here in Canada). Calling the memoir "A Moveable Feast" a novel (page 26), book seller and publisher Sylvia Beach a fellow writer (page 32) and having the blurb on page 108 refer to a non-existent photo of Marcel Proust's apartment on page 109 make it seem like something was rushed in the final production here. So a star/point off for that.

      How Paris affected Hemingway during the time he lived there. Not much new here, but the photographs that accompany the text are stunning
