\nSummary provide d by the publisher:
\nWhen bookish young American Sylvia Beach opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris in 1919\, she has no i dea that she and her new bookstore will change the course of literature it self. Many of the most prominent writers of the Lost Generation\, like Ern est Hemingway\, consider it a second home. It&rsquo\;s where some of the m ost important literary friendships of the twentieth century are forged&mda sh\;none more so than the one between Irish writer James Joyce and Sylvia herself. When Joyce&rsquo\;s controversial novel Ulysses is banned\, Beach takes a massive risk and publishes it under the auspices of Shakespeare a nd Company.
