Ernest Hemingway’s classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, now available in a restored edition, includes the original manuscript along with insightful recollections and unfinished sketches.
Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway’s most enduring works. Since Hemingway’s personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined the changes made to the text before publication. Now, this special restored edition presents the original manuscript as the author prepared it to be published.
Featuring a personal Foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest’s sole surviving son, and an Introduction by grandson of the author, Seán Hemingway, editor of this edition, the book also includes a number of unfinished, never-before-published Paris sketches revealing experiences that Hemingway had with his son, Jack, and his first wife Hadley. Also included are irreverent portraits of literary luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Maddox Ford, and insightful recollections of Hemingway’s own early experiments with his craft.
Widely celebrated and debated by critics and readers everywhere, the restored edition of A Moveable Feast brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized.

Amazon.com Review
In the preface to A Moveable Feast, Hemingway remarks casually that "if the reader prefers, this book may be regarded as fiction"--and, indeed, fact or fiction, it doesn't matter, for his slim memoir of Paris in the 1920s is as enchanting as anything made up and has become the stuff of legend. Paris in the '20s! Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley, lived happily on $5 a day and still had money for drinks at the Closerie des Lilas, skiing in the Alps, and fishing trips to Spain. On every corner and at every café table, there were the most extraordinary people living wonderful lives and telling fantastic stories. Gertrude Stein invited Hemingway to come every afternoon and sip "fragrant, colorless alcohols" and chat admid her great pictures. He taught Ezra Pound how to box, gossiped with James Joyce, caroused with the fatally insecure Scott Fitzgerald (the acid portraits of him and his wife, Zelda, are notorious). Meanwhile, Hemingway invented a new way of writing based on this simple premise: "All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know."
Hemingway beautifully captures the fragile magic of a special time and place, and he manages to be nostalgic without hitting any false notes of sentimentality. "This is how Paris was in the early days when we were very poor and very happy," he concludes. Originally published in 1964, three years after his suicide, A Moveable Feast was the first of his posthumous books and remains the best. --David Laskin
From Publishers Weekly
This restored version of Hemingway's posthumously published memoir has been revised to reflect the author's original intentions. The result is less a fluid narrative than an academic exercise, with the bulk of the story—Hemingway's travels, escapades, encounters with other writers like F. Scott Fitzgerald—followed by material read by his son and grandson, and some additional sketches and fragments excluded from the final draft. John Bedford Lloyd is faced with the burden of providing a passable version of Hemingway's voice and largely succeeds, but it's much more satisfying to listen to Hemingway's son Patrick, and his grandson Seán, who, in addition to sharing their own reminiscences, offer a hint of what Papa himself might have sounded like. A Scribner hardcover. (July)

Review
"The first thing to say about the 'restored' edition so ably and attractively produced by Patrick and Seán Hemingway is that it does live up to its billing . . . well worth having."--Christopher Hitchens, The Atlantic

Atrocious typography just kills a great book
By Jean-Claude Terrier
A MOVEABLE FEAST
I wrote this review originally for a previous edition no longer offered by Amazon but
it applies just as much to this new (?) edition.
This review is not about the work by Hemingway. This is great book.
The same cannot be said about what I will call the typography. Or rather
the lack of it. The text is essentially a raw scan of a paper edition with
many, much too many, mistyped words and many more false new
paragraphs created, most of them in mid-sentence.
I mean how difficult can it be to search for and destroy any carriage
return not preceded by a full stop.
In short we have here an atrocious text rendering making for a labored reading.
And what happened to the promised illustrations and manuscript pages ?
Please,please, correct this Kindle book and reissue it to all buyers.

things to note about this edition
By Carol Mello
New 4 Star review:
When I went looking for A Moveable Feast, I wanted the original 1964 version. I was extremely irritated that it is not available in any form except as a used book. In particular, I wanted it in e-book form. All that was offered was this "restored" version. If the author himself had done the restoring, as Anthony Burgess did with the American version of A Clockwork Orange, that I could understand. But when the restoring is done by someone else, I really have qualms about that.
Hemingway's last wife was probably closer to Hemingway than anyone else at the end of his life. At that point in his life he was suffering from mental illness. So I think she did a fine job with the original version. He may have had some nasty things to say about some people he knew when young. He may have used some strong language than refined people are not used to hearing/reading. But this was Hemingway. By his age in that last year, his conversation was probably peppered with both.
When the publisher and Hemingway's surviving relatives decided to reissue this title but to revise it also, then the publisher and online bookstores have a responsibility to the reading public to make sure the public knows this is a different version than the original. It should have separated reviews from the original. It is, in essence, a different book because it is not word for word the same as the original. The fact that they retained the title of the book given to it by Mary, rather than also renaming the book, makes me feel they are financially riding on her coat tails after she is dead.
Also, I have done some additional research online. The restoring by Hemingway's surviving heirs took place in the mid to late 1990s. So, the dividing line for reviews of the original version versus the restored by son/grandson version should be in the 1990s and not 2009 (although I think the e-book version this review is appearing under was published in 2009).
My research also indicated that Hemingway's second wife married him very rapidly after his divorce from Hadley and also after he had published his first successful novel and was now a financial success. I sincerely doubt she would have married a yet unsuccessful Hemingway. I am old now and sometimes cynical. This part of my research left me with unkind feelings toward the second wife, which I seem to be extending in a biblical fashion also to her descendants, the heirs who modified this book. I don't know why I don't blame Hemingway. It is true we women can be catty about other women, sometimes not justifiably (but sometimes we are dead on right).
Personally, I was really not "ready" to read any Hemingway until I was past the age of 20 (except for The Old Man and The Sea). Even though Hemingway started his career at around the age of 20, he was not your average sheltered middle class American kid of that era (or mine). In fact, except for light fiction, I think all adult books read when one was a teen should be reread again after you are an adult. Don't base your opinion of a writer's work on an adolescent reading.
Original 1 Star review:
Any favorable reviews of this title that are dated before mid 2009 are not referring to this edition but to the prior edition(s) edited and printed from a 1964 manuscript. This is an entirely different edition, not the beautiful 1964 edition but a malice tainted rewrite by his one of his grandchildren. I think it is irresponsible of Amazon to allow the reviews of the 1964 edition to be applied to this edition which has enough changes made to it that it is not the same book. I beg Amazon to correct this mistake.

Warning in the New York Times
By Beach Atlantic
As an author, I am concerned by Scribner's involvement in this "restored edition." With this reworking as a precedent, what will Scribner do, for instance, if a descendant of F. Scott Fitzgerald demands the removal of the chapter in "A Moveable Feast" about the size of Fitzgerald's penis, or if Ford Madox Ford's grandson wants to delete references to his ancestor's body odor.
All publishers, Scribner included, are guardians of the books that authors entrust to them. Someone who inherits an author's copyright is not entitled to amend his work. There is always the possibility that the inheritor could write his own book offering his own corrections.
Ernest was very protective of the words he wrote, words that gave the literary world a new style of writing. Surely he has the right to have these words protected against frivolous incursion, like this reworked volume that should be called "A Moveable Book." I hope the Authors Guild is paying attention.
A. E. Hotchner is the author of the memoirs "Papa Hemingway" and "King of the Hill."
