Ernest Hemingway's Classic Novel: "A Moveable Feast"

M. Dali: This reads like journal entries. They are interesting as they give insight into Hemingway's thoughts and feelings as a young married father living in 1920s Paris surrounded by the "Lost Generation" as he writes in cafes, eats wonderful food, hangs with the likes of Scott and Zelda, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and has an adoring wife. This is a fun, easy read and nothing like his novels, which I actually don't care for due to his sparse "lean" writing.

Z I Fergus: “A Movable Feast” was our assigned Hemingway month read. The Kindle version includes a Part 2: Additional Paris Sketches, which I understand were only partially completed by Hemingway before his death but have been subsequently included by his estate.

Ernest Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast" offers readers an intimate and evocative glimpse into his life during his formative years in 1920s Paris. I enjoy Hemingway's prose; it is spare and contemplative, yet rich in its ability to transport me to vibrant locations and personalities. Part memoir, part reflection on the artistic process, this posthumously published work captures the essence of an era and the spirit of creativity that thrived within it. For those who love Paris, these chapters will be very enjoyable and will evoke memories of walking down the same Rues.

Hemingway's recollections are candid and unembellished, as if he were sharing a bottle of wine with you while he name drops encounters with Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Joyce or Ezra Pound. The author's narrative is at once a critical homage to his companions and an exploration of his own development as a writer. His descriptions of shared meals,...

Dan Hobson: I don't know what attracts me so much to Hemingway's writing in the sense that it is not only relaxing reading but also a style that is easy going and absorbing! This is the third book of Hemingway I've read and will be reading many more

Andy: Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast is a timeless classic that provides a glimpse into the life of one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. The book is a memoir of Hemingway's time as a young writer in Paris in the 1920s, and it is filled with vivid descriptions of the city and the people he knew.

The writing is masterful, as one would expect from Hemingway, and the book is a joy to read. The author's love for Paris and the bohemian lifestyle of the expat community shines through on every page, making the reader feel as if they are right there with him. The book also provides an interesting look into the artistic and literary scene of Paris in the 1920s, and the interactions of Hemingway with other writers and artists of that time.

I particularly enjoyed the author's reflections on the craft of writing and the struggles of a young writer. Hemingway's insights and advice are as relevant today as they were when the book was first published.

Overall, I highly recommend A Moveable Feast to anyone interested in literature, Paris, or the life of Ernest Hemingway. It is a beautifully written, evocative, and thought-provoking book that will stay with you long...

Rocky Macy: "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." Ernest Hemingway

American novelist Ernest Hemingway cloaked himself in a life that was every bit as exciting and colorful as those lived by the characters who populated his novels. Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois. in 1899, the son of a country doctor who was an outdoorsman and a culturally refined mother who pushed her son toward the arts. Young Hemingway tried to join the US military as an infantry "foot soldier" in World War I, but was turned down because of poor eyesight. He ended up volunteering as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross on the Italian front, and after serving heroically and suffering multiple shrapnel wounds, he went on to enlist in the Italian infantry and saw service on the Austrian front.

Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley Richardson, moved to Paris in 1921 - a century ago this year - where he wrote dispatches for a newspaper in Toronto and did freelance work for other newspapers and journals while honing his skills as a professional writer of stories and novels. Ernest...

Mr. Anderson: Handlung:

---------

Während des Vietnam Krieges hat Sgt. Tony Meserve (Sean Penn) eine abscheuliche Idee. Um die Moral seiner Kameraden zu steigern soll eine Dorfbewohnerin von den Soldaten entführt und vergewaltigt werden. Eriksson (Michael J. Fox), ein Soldat dieser Gruppe hat sich jedoch dem Ganzen wiedersetzt und will seine Kameraden wegen dieser Tat vor Gericht bringen. Der Truppe gefällt dies allerdings weniger und sie versuchen nun dies zu verhindern.

Kritik:

------

In diesem 1989 entstandenen Kriegsdrama zeigt Brian De Palma in harten Bildern einen Film der auf wahren Begebenheiten beruht.

Er zeigt auf brilliante Art und Weise den Kampf für Gerechtigkeit des jungen Eriksson und den Hindernissen die er dabei begegnet.

Michael J. Fox in der Rollen von Eriksson ist wie für diese Rolle geschaffen. Durch sein jünglisches und unschuldiges Aussehen verleiht er der Figur dieses Soldaten die nötige Glaubwürdigkeit.

Obschon ich jetzt nicht unbedingt ein großer Fan dieses Schauspielers bin muß ich schon sagen, daß er durch diese Rolle meinen Respekt gewonnen hat. Fox agiert wunderbar in diesem Film und zeigt daß er...
