She even encouraged her husband to fall in love with the foreign girl Marita after marrying her. The three of them got involved in a dangerous sex game. But the "good times" didn't last long. Because Marita supported David's writing, Catherine became jealous and resentful. She burned his manuscript and left a letter to leave. Under Marita's care, David's literary thoughts surged, and he rewrote one of his favorite short stories word for word, and returned to the "Garden of Eden". This is Hemingway's posthumous work published after his suicide in 1961. Although it was written in his later years when his body was declining, the whole book is full of vitality and love, making it a rare youth novel.

From November 1933 to February 1934, Hemingway, his second wife Pauline Pfeiffer, and his friend Carl went hunting in Kenya, East Africa. After returning, Hemingway expressed that he wanted to write a "most realistic book" that would be "comparable to fictional works", so he wrote "The Green Mountains of Africa". With astonishing memory and superb writing skills, Hemingway reproduces the hunting experience in the deep mountains and old forests of Africa, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the thrilling scenes of the author's battle of wits and courage with animals, and hear the unique African lion's roar. At the same time, Hemingway vividly describes his competitiveness and jealousy in the process of competing with Carl, "dissecting" himself mercilessly, and showing the candidness of a man. There is a passage in the book about the critics' praise and condemnation of writers, which makes me feel very warm when I read it today.

This book records exactly what the author saw and heard at that time. It is also interspersed with anecdotes from many celebrities in the Paris literary and art circles. This is not only a sketch of the scenery of this great city of Paris, but also It is a sketch of his interactions with a large number of novelists and artists living in Europe at that time, including celebrities such as Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, James Joyce and Fitzgerald. Hemingway unceremoniously made highly personal judgments on them in the book. Although the past events recalled by the author are very old, this book is undoubtedly the first-hand information to understand the origin of the "Lost Generation" and the origin of the dispute between Fitzgerald and Hemingway. The classic line "Paris is a moveable feast" in the book has become Paris' "cultural calling card" and has been widely circulated.

The translator Tang Yongkuan is a famous translator, and his translation is well-known. Containing precious black and white images of Paris in the 1920s and 1930s, the people, events, and objects described by Hemingway are classically reproduced in different visual texts. "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris when you were young, then it will be with you wherever you go for the rest of your life, because Paris is a moveable feast." There are countless fictional or non-fictional works about Paris, and the "movable feast" written by Hemingway is perhaps the most lingering and lamentable among them.

All personal memories about Paris are blended into a common historical memory of Paris. As the saying goes, "Paris will never end."
