Description

"Miss Beach's book is intimate, not scholarly, and thus full of interesting information.

Her reminiscences are literally an index of everybody in the twenties, and she knew them all."—Janet Flanner, New YorkerSylvia 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 Companyevokes 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.
