1.A Moveable FeastA Moveable Feast
from Scribner
Price: $13.01

Customer Review:
Anyone interested in learning how to write needs to read The Movable Feast. It's all about Hemingway and a couple of pages of Hemingway with F. Scott Fitzgerald. How funny. I never knew Hemingway to be this charming or delightful. This is an important book in the Hemingway collection and a must to... more info

2.Paris After the Liberation 1944-1949: Revised EditionParis After the Liberation 1944-1949: Revised Edition
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $7.65

Customer Review:
This is definitely worth reading, covering an ill-understood time in French history. I really enjoyed Beevor's the Fall of Berlin and Stalingrad, and was expecting much from this book. For the most part, it delivers. However, it could have used a more sharp-eyed editor. Some examples: Personages... more info

Dianne Hunter's Review
This tabloid-fodder, skeptical reportage borders on despicable. Part I recycles a NEW YORKER essay on Stein & Toklas getting on with apparent imperturbability in Nazi France, and their friendship with B. Fay, whom Toklas later helped to escape from prison. Part II... more info

Price: $13.20

Customer Review:
The Roads to Modernity: The British, French, and American Enlightenments, written by Gertrude Himmelfarb, a neo-conservative who was married to Irving Kristol, argues that the English Revolution, which upheld a sociology of virtue, and the American Revolution, which upheld liberty, were just as... more info

from Vintage Books/Random House
Price: $8.44

Customer Review:
Roger Shattuck's expressed intent in *The Banquet Years* was to explain the avante garde movement in the arts of the late 19th/early 20th century through the lives of four key figures: Henri Rousseau, Erik Satie, Alfred Jarry, and Guillaume Apollinaire. How well Shattuck succeeds is a matter open to... more info

7.Americans in Paris: Life and Death Under Nazi OccupationAmericans in Paris: Life and Death Under Nazi Occupation
from Penguin Press HC, The
Price: $21.75

Customer Review:
This is an interesting but not riveting book telling the stories of various American citizens from 1939 to 1945 in France. Although the narrative is somewhat disjointed and at times incomplete, I liked the author's work. It is definitely worth reading if one is interested in World War II. However,... more info

from Univ Of Minnesota Press
Price: $15.48

Customer Review:
I always wondered how the grand philosophy of 20th century France was turned into esoteric marginalia in America. This book, despite its absolutely awful translation, offers many insights into American intellectual life as well as the roots of neo-conservatism in French-bashing. Though it often hard... more info

from Harvest Books
Price: $13.30

Customer Review:
The Paris, France of Janet Flanner's time was quite different then. In between World Wars, Paris probably thought it was on the rise of maintaining the role in attracting the finest artists, writers, and cultural elite. The American expatriate artists flocked to Europe because of the dismal great... more info
