Reader reviews for Sylvia Beach and the Lost Generation: A History of Literary Paris in the Twenties and Thirties

From the publisher

Making use of the author's access to the Beach family papers, this account chronicles the literary circle that gathered at Beach's Paris book shop.

First line

SYLVIA BEACH paced the platform of the Gare de Lyon, waiting alone in the chill morning air for the arrival of the train from Dijon.

From the rear cover

The story of Sylvia Beach's love for Shakespeare and Company supplies the lifeblood of this book. 'An absorbing book, backed by an impressive amount of research. Working from the rich collection of Sylvia Beach's papers, Noel Fitch has written an objective story that corrects many of the errors and misjudgments to be found in other literary memoirs of those eventful years in Paris.'
