198328266New York:: Norton 1983. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Fitch has created a literary chronicle of the most creative decades of the twentieth century as seen through the life and literary engagements of bookshop owner Sylvia Beach. In 1917 Sylvia Beach walked into a Paris bookshop where she met Adrienne Monnier the woman who would become her life companion. In 1919 Beach opened her own English-language bookshop and lending library Shakespeare and Company which would become the cynosure of an entire literary movement. Literary expatriates were drawn to her shop but her most celebrated literary efforts are those she made on behalf of her literary idol James Joyce undertaking the publication of Ulysses. Noel Riley Fitch uses Beach as the focal point for a fascinating portrait of an artistic community filled with anecdote after anecdote. From the intellectual salons at Natalie Barney's residence--of which "William Carlos Williams would recall only the lesbian women dancing together"--to the seemingly constant presence of Ezra Pound Fitch's account solidifies the importance of the time and place he so vividly re-creates.

193522966<p>Paris in the 1920s Stearns Harold E. The Street I Know. New York: Lee Furman Inc. 1935. First Printing of the First Edition. A Near Fine tight copy in Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with edge wear and creasing to the front panel. Stearns was a prolific journalist and writer who early in his career wrote for the New Republic and Dial magazine before moving to Paris in 1921 where he penned articles and columns for the New York Herald. Stearns symbolized the bitter emptiness the bewildered desperation of the generation that had survived a war only to face a world bent on forgetting its political sins in lust and liquor or whatever anodyne the moment might bring. Those strange futile years have been immortalized in the fiction of Hemingway and Fitzgerald; but here in Stearn's narrative they make their way into biography. No one has written more soberly about that drunken state of mind; no one has been more continent in describing these excesses; no one has romanticized less about the absurd romantic attitudes of the literary Bohemia.Stearns became the model for the character Harvey Stone in Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. </p> Lee Furman Inc., hardcover
