A novel about the epic founding and heyday of one of the most mythical bookstores in the world. An exciting hymn to the bookseller's trade and to universal literature. When Sylvia Beach, a bookish young American, opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in 1919 Paris, she has no idea that she will change the course of literature. Shakespeare and Company is much more than a bookstore. Hemingway and many of the Lost Generation writers consider it their second home. Some of the most important literary friendships of the 20th century are also forged there, such as James Joyce's with Sylvia herself. When Joyce's controversial novel, Ulysses, is banned, Beach decides to publish it under the umbrella of Shakespeare and Company. But the success and fame that come with publishing the most controversial and influential novel of the century comes at very high costs: the rivalry of other publishers who want Joyce for themselves. Her dearest relationships are put to the test as Paris falls into the Great Depression. Faced with a major personal and financial crisis, Sylvia must decide what Shakespeare and Company means to her. With The Bookseller of Paris Kerri Maher she has managed to build an incomparable fresco of a bookstore, a city and a time that are essential to understand where we come from and where we are going.
