About this listen

 Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. It is his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, filled with irreverent portraits of other expatriate luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein; tender memories of his first wife, Hadley; and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft. It is a literary feast, brilliantly evoking the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the youthful spirit, unbridled creativity, and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized.©1964 Ernest Hemingway Ltd.

Critic reviews

"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." ( Amazon.com)

As the previous reviewer mentions, James Naughton's voice is perfect for telling this Hemingway tale. A Moveable Feast is very much on his real life of living in Paris with his first wife, the simple pleasures of Parisian life they enjoyed on a very limited budget, his days drinking with F.Scott Fitzgerald and his writing. We really see into Hemingway's private thoughts and feelings as he puts pen to paper which makes this a fascinating listen. The dry sense of humour Hemingway is famous for really comes through in this book too.

Like listening to Hemingway himself...

Like a movable Café in Paris itself, this audio book can be revisited so many times at any page in whatever weather, best of all, of course, is when it’s raining.

You’ll hear some lovely anecdotes of writers/ artists living in the same era as Hemingway, which is most unique and refreshing. It was like your high school desk mate telling you about the girl from the class next door.

Hemingway also explores his relationship with writing, that he speaks of with such respect and affection. I came across many famous sentences I’ve read before as quotes throughout my literary eduction in my teenage hood. It felt both nostalgic and very endearing.

Wonderful Hemingway, wonderful narration. If only it was longer, you just want it to go on and on...

This is my first Hemingway book and unlike anything I’ve read before. And I loved it. If you’re looking for action and drama, this isn’t it - but if you’re looking to escape to Paris in the 1920s, learning a little about legendary writers and artists on the way, there couldn’t be a better way.

If you’ve watched midnight in Paris, it really brings many of the characters in this book to life. So recommend you do so.

Part of the reason why this audiobook book is so enjoyable is the narration. Absolutely top notch. Sadly this seems not to be the case with the other Hemingway books I’ve previewed since.

Hemingway, one of the lost generation, a novelist, journalist, raconteur etc who's prose enlightened my reading as a young man in the sixties, and every decade since.

Exceptional

Its because of this book that i have fallen in love with Hemingway and i have the narrator James Naughton to thank. Honestly it made me so wish that he narrates all of his books because to me the voice so fits the face of Hemingway. i immensely enjoyed listening to it. The story so comes alive that when Hemingway talks about the walks on the banks of the river, i feel as if i am walking next to him. Already listened 4 times since I bought it and Highly recommended it for all. well done.

Amazing narration!
