Terse literary style of Ernest Miller Hemingway, an American writer, ambulance driver of World War I , journalist, and expatriate in Paris during the 1920s, marks short stories and novels, such as The Sun Also Rises (1926) and The Old Man and the Sea (1952), which concern courageous, lonely characters, and he won the Nobel Prize of 1954 for literature. I had started this conversation and thought it had become a little dangerous. There were almost never paused and there were something she wanted to tell me and I filled my glass. I looked at her and she disturbed me and made me very excited. I wished I could put her in the story, or anywhere, but she had placed herself so she could watch the street and the entry and I knew she was waiting for someone. So I went on writing. Hemingway lives near the Closerie des Lilas café, where he sometimes sees poets such as Blaise Cendrars. One day, Hemingway sees Ford Madox Ford there. Hemingway usually tries to avoid Ford because he smells so bad and speaks in a nonsensical manner. Hemingway finds it difficult to believe that the man in front of him is truly Ford, the great writer. One spring evening Hemingway meets the painter Pascin at the Dôme. Pascin is accompanied by two sisters, whom he treats with a flirtatious and somewhat derogatory manner.

Hemingway worked from there as a correspondent journalist for the same newspaper. During that time, he also started pursuing his career as a writer (collection of short stories Men without Women, novel The Sun also Rises). The Luxembourg Gardens (#6) is a lovely garden in the 6th Arrondissement of Paris where Hemingway often walked, especially “in the early days when we were very poor and very happy.”It seems that Hemingway walked through the Luxembourg Gardens to avoid temptation when he was too hungry: Inspired by Ezra’s Japanese friends, Hemingway decides to grow his hair long. He knows other people will consider him “damned,” but he notes that he and Hadley enjoy being seen as “damned together.” This is one of the simple “secret pleasures” that characterizes their life together. In Austria, the hotel keeper suggests that long hair is a “revolt against the years of war” and gives Hemingway a herbal tonic to help his hair grow faster. Economical and understated style of Hemingway strongly influenced 20th-century fiction, whereas his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s. He published seven novels, six short story collections and two nonfiction works. Survivors published posthumously three novels, four collections of short stories, and three nonfiction works. People consider many of these classics.Hemingway and Hadley split up in their sixth year of marriage as he began having an affair with a friend of Hadley's who was living with them. He describes that slow and very painful transition from one lover to another in a chapter in The Moveable Feast entitled "The Pilot Fish and the Rich." It is the best writing in the book. But Scott did not trust the doctor's son who had at one time been an ambulance driver for the Red Cross, and he demanded that Hemingway take his own temperature as well so that they could compare the readings. Hemingway complied and then announced that his numbers were the same and that he was fine - so F. Scott Fitzgerald decided that he must have recuperated.

The Café des Amateurs was the cesspool of the rue Mouffetard, that wonderful narrow crowded market street which led into the Place Contrescarpe. The squat toilets of the old apartment houses, one by the side of the stairs on each floor with the two cleated cement shoe-shaped elevations on each side of the aperture so a locataire would not slip, emptied into cesspools which were emptied by pumping into horse-drawn tank wagons at night. In the summer time, with all windows open, we would hear the pumping and the odor was very strong. The tank wagons were painted brown and saffron color and in the moonlight when they worked the rue Cardinal Lemoine their wheeled, horse-drawn cylinders looked like Braque paintings. No one emptied the Café des Amateurs though, and its yellowed poster stating the terms and penalties of the law against public drunkenness was as flyblown and disregarded as its clients were constant and ill-smelling. H]ere is the last bit of professional writing by my father, the true foreword to A Moveable Feast: 'This book contains material from the remises of my memory and of my heart. Even if the one has been tampered with and the other does not exist'."

We travel through time to discover the nightlife in Paris of the "Roaring Twenties." The talks at the Closerie des Lilas, the bustling Gertrude Stein and her shining circle, famous writers like Ezra Pound, James Joyce, and Scott Fitzgerald, lesser-known as the Irish poet Ernest Walsh. After Bumby is born, Hemingway and Hadley begin spending the winters in Austria. There they go skiing with the “pioneer” high mountain skier Walther Lent. Their time in Austria is idyllic; they eat delicious meals, read books from Shakespeare and Company, and Hemingway completes his revisions of the first draft of The Sun Also Rises. One winter, several skiers die in a series of avalanches, but Hemingway notes that this disaster does not compare to the emotional catastrophe of the following year, which is the beginning of the end of his and Hadley’s marriage.

Ernest Hemingway: A Moveable Feast Review

Brenner, Gerry (December 1982). "Are We Going To Hemingway's Feast?". American Literature. 54 (4): 528–544. doi: 10.2307/2926004. JSTOR 2926004. You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason." Today you can sit at the front of this Hemingway café and do like Hem, “ keep the statue company and drank a cold beer before going home.” Marshal Ney’s statue is still there, flourishing his sword against the enemies of Napoleon I! It was easy to get into the habit of stopping in at 27 Rue de Fleurus for warmth and the great pictures and the conversation.” Notorious lesbian, collector of art, and figure of the Paris of the Roaring Twenties, Sylvia Beach was a friend, mentor, and supporter of many of the key literary figures of the day living in and around the Latin Quarter. It was Sylvia Beach who published James Joyce’s classic Ulyssesfor the first time after many other publishers had rejected the book because of their fear of being prosecuted (a plaque marks this literary milestone today).

The Cafe des Amateurs was the cesspool of the Rue Mouffetard, that wonderful narrow crowded market street which led into the Place Contrescarpe.”Sure to excite critics and readers alike, the restored edition of A Moveable Feast brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and enthusiasm that Hemingway himself experienced. In the world of letters it is a unique insight into a great literary generation, by one of the best American writers of the twentieth century.
