[German] - Die Buchhändlerin von Paris: Roman

"Eine Buchhandlung mitten in Paris. Für die junge Amerikanerin Sylvia Beach ist ein Traum in Erfüllung gegangen. Dass sie mit »Shakespeare & Company« in die Geschichte der Weltliteratur eingehen wird, ahnt sie bei der Eröffnung 1919 nicht. Schon bald wird »Shakespeare & Company« zum literarischen Treffpunkt in Paris: Hemingway, Gide, Valéry und Gertrude Stein gehen hier ein und aus – und nicht zuletzt aber James Joyce. Als nach Abdruck einzelner Episoden die vollständige Publikation seines umstrittenen Romans Ulysses verboten wird, ist es die unerschrockene Sylvia Beach, die ihn gegen alle Widerstände veröffentlicht – und damit ihre ganze Existenz aufs Spiel setzt. Doch in der gleichgesinnten französischen Buchhändlerin Adrienne Monnier findet Sylvia Beach nicht nur eine wagemutige Mitstreiterin, sondern auch die Liebe ihres Lebens. Ein Roman über zwei starke Frauen, das »gefährlichste Buch des Jahrhunderts« und eine Liebe im Paris der zwanziger Jahre."
