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.
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.

一傢書店見證及深度參與一個時代的文學思潮與運動,如今是極難想象的,若有,多半也是前朝往事瞭。因為既要有時代的風雲際會,亦要有虔誠於文化的助産士與齣類拔萃的作傢匯集一處,而這些,均已風流雲散不見蹤跡,於是,曾經的莎士比亞書店成為瞭可供追懷的傳奇,源於其彆無...
評分畢姐做為一名懷抱國際主義精神的美國同誌,於上個世紀二十年代,不遠萬裏來到法國,秉承“五湖四海皆兄弟”的革命原則,於巴黎劇院街開瞭一傢小小的書店——莎士比亞書店。 從開業的青蔥歲月到二戰期間書店壽終正寢的二十餘年間,畢姐交友無數,非正式代理瞭詹...

前半本的文人八卦讀著挺有意思。
評分愛這個書店!愛Sylvia Beach!讀的時候那些人事物感覺就在旁邊發生!
評分真正的“談笑有鴻儒 往來無白丁”的地方,能擁有這樣一傢書店真是此生彆無他求瞭。在感嘆Finnegans Wake絕難讀懂的時候,為什麼不來看看本書裏那位鮮活親切的James Joyce呢?
評分一個時代的素描。
評分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 some language interestingly reflect certain ideas that now seem outdated.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.
