Una novela sobre la epopeya de la fundación y apogeo de una de las librerías más míticas del mundo. Un canto emocionante al oficio de librero y a la literatura universal. Cuando Sylvia Beach, una joven americana amante de los libros, abre Shakespeare and Company en una tranquila calle en el París de 1919, no tiene ni idea de que cambiará el curso de la literatura. Shakespeare and Company es mucho más que una librería. Hemingway y muchos de los escritores de la Generación Perdida la consideran su segunda casa. Allí también se forjan algunas de las amistades literarias más importantes del siglo XX, como la de James Joyce con la misma Sylvia. Cuando la controvertida novela de Joyce, Ulysses, es prohibida, Beach decide publicarla bajo la protección de Shakespeare and Company. Pero el éxito y la fama que conllevan publicar la novela más controvertida e influyente del siglo tiene unos costes muy altos: la rivalidad de otros editores que quieren a Joyce para ellos. Sus relaciones más queridas son puestas a prueba mientras París cae en la Gran Depresión. Ante una gran crisis personal y financiera, Sylvia debe decidir qué significa para ella Shakespeare and Company. Con La librera de París, Kerri Maher ha logrado construir un fresco inigualable de una librería, una ciudad y una época esenciales para entender de dónde venimos y hacia dónde vamos.
A novel about the epic founding and heyday of one of the most mythical bookstores in the world. An exciting hymn to the bookseller's trade and to universal literature. When Sylvia Beach, a bookish young American, opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in 1919 Paris, she has no idea that she will change the course of literature. Shakespeare and Company is much more than a bookstore. Hemingway and many of the Lost Generation writers consider it their second home. Some of the most important literary friendships of the 20th century are also forged there, such as James Joyce's with Sylvia herself. When Joyce's controversial novel, Ulysses, is banned, Beach decides to publish it under the umbrella of Shakespeare and Company. But the success and fame that come with publishing the most controversial and influential novel of the century comes at very high costs: the rivalry of other publishers who want Joyce for themselves. Her dearest relationships are put to the test as Paris falls into the Great Depression. Faced with a major personal and financial crisis, Sylvia must decide what Shakespeare and Company means to her. With The Bookseller of Paris Kerri Maher she has managed to build an incomparable fresco of a bookstore, a city and a time that are essential to understand where we come from and where we are going.
