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 It was during these years that the as-of-yet unpublished young writer gathered the material for his first novel \u003ci\u003eThe Sun Also Rises,\u003c\/i\u003e and the subsequent masterpieces that followed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Moveable Feast\u003c\/i\u003e is at once an elegy to the remarkable group for expatriates that gathered in Paris during the twenties and a testament to the risks and rewards of the writerly life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ernest Hemingway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47065488064681,"sku":"9781501160615","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781501160615.jpg?v=1778217043","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/a-moveable-feast-1","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
