“Usually, we sell between 6,000 and 8,000 copies a year.” “We also received many orders from groups such as Fnac and Amazon, amounting to 8,500 copies,” one Folio executive told The Guardian. The Paris memoir, published posthumously in 1964, holds the top spot on Amazon’s French site, has sold out of stock at a number of bookstores and, as Le Figaro reports, has become a fixture among the flowers in memorials across the city.Īccording to Folio, the French publisher, orders for the book have risen to 500 per day from just 10 to 15 orders before the attacks.
The horrific attacks in Paris earlier this month, which killed 130 people and stirred transcontinental riptides, has also set off a renaissance for Ernest Hemingway’s book, A Moveable Feast. Paris was always worth it and you received return for whatever you brought to it. We always returned to it no matter who we were or how it was changed or with what difficulties, or ease, it could be reached. There is never any ending to Paris and the memory of each person who has lived in it differs from that of any other.
