This Hemingway two-book bundle pairs two essential works from one of the 20th century’s most influential authors. A Moveable Feast captures Hemingway’s early writing life in 1920s Paris, while The Garden of Eden explores obsession, creativity, and the complexities of love in one of his most provocative posthumous novels.
Together, they offer readers a portrait of Hemingway at his most personal and inventive. Both volumes are an ideal combination for readers, collectors, or anyone building a classic literature library.
