First Bantam edition of Hemingway's international bestseller, a rich and introspective memoir capturing the expatriate experience in 1920s Paris. Small octavo, original pictorial wrappers. From the library of Madeleine K. Albright with her bookplate to the front pastedown which reads from “The Private Collection of Secretary Madeleine K. Albright.” Madeleine K. Albright was the first woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. She acted under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, leading the United States through foreign policy in the Middle East with the endorsement of military action in Iraq. At the 1998 NATO summit, Albright coined the “3 Ds” of NATO, “which is no diminution of NATO, no discrimination and no duplication – because I think that we don’t need any of those three “Ds” to happen.” After her tenure as Secretary of State, she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. For Albright’s contributions to foreign policy and relations that defined a century, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. In very good condition.
Written in Hemingway’s later years and published posthumously, A Moveable Feast offers a rare, retrospective account of his formative experiences as a writer, offering insight into the development of his stylistic and thematic concerns, personal relationships, and the cultural landscape of the "Lost Generation." Through concise, unembellished language, Hemingway reconstructs moments of artistic struggle, poverty, and camaraderie with other writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein. The book’s strength lies in its ability to evoke a specific cultural moment while maintaining a sense of emotional distance and stylistic control, hallmarks of Hemingway’s broader body of work. "Here is Hemingway at his best. No one has ever written about Paris in the nineteen twenties as Hemingway" (New York Times). "What is startling is the vividness of his feelings, their intensity and immediacy. There lies the key to this book, and its abiding interest" (Newsweek).
