A Moveable Feast

A Moveable Feast is a beloved memoir-style book by iconic American author Ernest Hemingway that recounts his formative years as a young writer living in Paris during the 1920s. This Ukrainian edition, translated by Hanna Yanovska and published by Видавництво Старого Лева, offers readers vivid reflections on creativity, friendship, and the artistic life in the City of Light.

Written from personal notebooks Hemingway left behind — discovered decades later in the basement of Hôtel Ritz — A Moveable Feast presents a series of intimate portraits: café conversations with fellow writers, afternoons spent wandering bookshops and museums, and moments of clarity amid the chaos of city streets. The narrative isn’t a conventional linear plot; rather, it conveys a mood and a way of life — the enchantment of youth, the thrill of writing, and the influences of literary giants like James Joyce and F. Scott Fitzgerald on Hemingway’s development.

This Ukrainian edition (hardcover, 176 pages) brings Hemingway’s warm recollections and philosophical musings to a new audience, preserving the charm and simplicity of his voice. The book appeals to readers who appreciate literary classics, travel writing, memoirs, and the golden age of 20th-century literature. It’s a rich, reflective read for anyone curious about the environment that shaped one of the century’s most influential authors.
