When Sylvia Beach, a young, book-loving American, opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris in 1919, 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 forged there, including that between James Joyce and Sylvia. 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 comes with publishing the most controversial and influential novel of the century comes at a high cost: rivalry from other publishers who want Joyce for themselves. Her most cherished relationships are tested as Paris descends into the Great Depression. Faced with a major personal and financial crisis, Sylvia must decide what Shakespeare and Company means to her. With The Paris Bookseller, Kerri Maher has managed to construct an unparalleled fresco of a bookstore, a city and a time that are essential to understanding where we come from and where we are going.
