A Moveable Feast

Autor Ernest Hemingway
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2023

În cadrul studiilor literare dedicate modernismului american, A Moveable Feast ocupă un loc central, fiind textul de referință pentru înțelegerea 'Generației Pierdute'. Considerăm această operă nu doar o simplă autobiografie, ci o extensie stilistică a tehnicii narative care l-a consacrat pe Ernest Hemingway. Analizând structura volumului, descoperim o serie de schițe pariziene ce gravitează în jurul unor puncte de reper fundamentale, de la librăria Shakespeare and Company până la cafenelele din Place St.-Michel, oferind o perspectivă intimă asupra uceniciei literare a autorului.

Subliniem faptul că, spre deosebire de The Sun Also Rises, unde deziluzia postbelică este filtrată prin ficțiune, în acest volum regăsim sursa brută a experiențelor care au modelat acea epocă. Ca alternativă la The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 2, 1923-1925 pentru cursurile de istorie a literaturii, A Moveable Feast are avantajul unei narațiuni coerente și al unui ton confesiv, transformând corespondența fragmentară într-o mitologie personală a Parisului. Textul funcționează ca un companion esențial pentru The Garden of Eden, ambele fiind lucrări finisate postum care explorează complexitatea relațiilor umane sub presiunea creativității.

Progresia capitolelor, de la instrucțiunile primite de la Gertrude Stein până la portretul melancolic al lui F. Scott Fitzgerald, reflectă maturizarea unui stil care a schimbat cursul prozei engleze. Ritmul este controlat, menținând acea 'brilianță dură' despre care criticii vremii afirmau că oferă scenelor o iminență uluitoare, în ciuda distanței temporale la care au fost scrise.

Despre autor

Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) a fost un romancier, nuvelist și jurnalist american, a cărui proză economică și subestimată a influențat decisiv ficțiunea secolului XX. Laureat al Premiului Nobel în 1954, Hemingway și-a construit opera pe baza unor experiențe de viață intense, de la șofer de ambulanță pe frontul italian în Primul Război Mondial, până la corespondent în Războiul Civil Spaniol. Stilul său, denumit 'teoria icebergului', se regăsește în capodopere precum A Farewell to Arms și The Old Man and the Sea. A Moveable Feast reprezintă omagiul său adus anilor de formare din Paris, publicat postum pentru a întregi portretul unui autor monumental.


Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. Since Hemingway's personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined and debated the changes made to the text before publication. Now this new 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 the editor and grandson of the author, Seán Hemingway, this new edition 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 other luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Madox Ford, and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft.

Sure to excite critics and readers alike, the restored edition of A Moveable Feast brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and enthusiasm that Hemingway himself experienced. In the world of letters it is a unique insight into a great literary generation, by one of the best American writers of the twentieth century.

Notă biografică

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.

Descriere scurtă

Begun in the autumn of 1957 and published posthumously in 1964, Ernest Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast" captures what it meant to be young and poor and writing in Paris during the 1920s.
"You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil."
A correspondent for the "Toronto Star, " Hemingway arrived in Paris in 1921, three years after the trauma of the Great War and at the beginning of the transformation of Europe's cultural landscape: Braque and Picasso were experimenting with cubist forms; James Joyce, long living in self-imposed exile from his native Dublin, had just completed "Ulysses;" Gertude Stein held court at 27 rue de Fleurus, and deemed young Ernest a member of "rue generation perdue;" and T. S. Eliot was a bank clerk in London. It was during these years that the as-of-yet unpublished young writer gathered the material for his first novel, "The Sun Also Rises, " and the subsequent masterpieces that followed.
Among these small, reflective sketches are unforgettable encounters with the members of Hemingway's slightly rag-tag circle of artists and writers, some also fated to achieve fame and glory, others to fall into obscurity. Here, too, is an evocation of the Paris that Hemingway knew as a young man -- a map drawn in his distinct prose of the streets and cafes and bookshops that comprised the city in which he, as a young writer, sometimes struggling against the cold and hunger of near poverty, honed the skills of his craft.
"A Moveable Feast" is at once an elegy to the remarkable group of expatriates that gathered in Paris during the twenties and a testament to the risks and rewards of the writerly life."
