In 1919, Shakespeare and Company quietly opened on the Left Bank of Paris. Gradually, it became people's dream bookstore - a bookstore, a library, a publishing house; a bank, a post office, a cultural salon; a gathering place for literati, a center for British-French literary exchange, and a spiritual palace for the "lost generation". Sylvia's frank and funny writing slowly unfolds the bustling left bank scenery: the grand publication of Joyce's banned book "Ulysses"; the crazy performance of Ansel's "Ballet Mechanica"; Hemingway's heroic and heroic appearance in liberating Rue Dupuytran. Fitzgerald, who almost jumped downstairs after drinking, Gide, who played tricks on people with turtles... Guarding this castle made of books, Sylvia, a simple book lover, saw all kinds of writers, tasted the warmth and warmth of the world, and witnessed a literary legend connected with books.
