Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, and Ezra Pound. Hemingway reflects on his formative years as a writer, his creative process, and the challenges he faced while trying to establish himself in the literary world. The title, "A Moveable Feast," refers to Hemingway's belief that Paris during the 1920s was a place of endless possibility and inspiration for writers and artists.

Autorenporträt

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.
