  of how a humble bookseller fought against incredible odds to bring one of
  the most important books of the 20th century to the world in this new nov
 el from the author of The Girl in the White Gloves. When bookish young Ame
 rican Sylvia Beach opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Pari
 s in 1919\, she has no idea that she and her new bookstore will change the
  course of literature itself. Shakespeare and Company is more than a books
 tore and lending library: Many of the most prominent writers of the Lost G
 eneration\, like Ernest Hemingway\, consider it a second home. It's where 
 some of the most important literary friendships of the twentieth century a
 re forged-none more so than the one between Irish writer James Joyce and S
 ylvia herself. When Joyce's controversial novel Ulysses is banned\, Beach 
 takes a massive risk and publishes it under the auspices of Shakespeare an
 d Company. But the success and notoriety of publishing the most infamous a
 nd influential book of the century comes with steep costs. The future of h
 er beloved store itself is threatened when Ulysses' success brings other p
 ublishers to woo Joyce away. Her most cherished relationships are put to t
 he test as Paris is plunged deeper into the Depression and many expatriate
  friends return to America. As she faces painful personal and financial cr
 ises\, Sylvia-a woman who has made it her mission to honor the life-changi
 ng impact of books-must decide what Shakespeare and Company truly means to
  her"--(MCPL catalog)</p>\n<p>An eBook version of <em>The Paris Bookseller
