"A Moveable Feast" is one of my favourite books. No one has ever described Paris in the 1920s better than Hemingway. He gives his thoughts on social equity, ex-patriation and emigration, art during the crisis,  etc.   Hemingway and his wife, young and happy lived high on low or almost no money. It's still a feast, though sometimes a Spartan one. The story makes you smile and gives hope. 

In this episode, I'm reading the first chapter -"A Good Café on the Place St.-Michel". Hope it would encourage you to read or listen to the rest of it.
