About This Novel

"Shakespeare and Books" is the autobiography of its founder, Sylvia Beech. With her candid and funny writing, she slowly unfolds the bustling left bank of Paris: the grand publication of "Ulysses"; Joyce, who is afraid of heights but loves cats; out of friendship with Beech, he was the first to fill in "Ulysses" Gide who made a reservation; Hemingway who bravely liberated Theater Street; George Antheil who forgot his keys and followed the bookstore sign to climb up to his apartment; Fitzgerald who almost jumped off the stairs when he was drunk... Beech, a simple book lover, guarded this castle made of books, and over time, he witnessed a literary legend connected with books. Translator Kaiti's 300 annotations and 10,000-word long introduction complement the main text, and outline three-dimensional and vivid portraits of the masters on the side. This edition also includes precious video materials such as the manuscript of "Ulysses" and the publishing contract.
