Hemingway in Paris after World War I

Paris. The Eiffel Tower, beautiful parks, gardens, and outdoor cafes. After the war, many writers chose to migrate to Paris to write truly magnificent works of writing. After all whats not to like? The beautiful people and sights, no reason the writing was so amazing. One writer who really lead the Paris writing was Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway would spend hour after hour in the local outdoor cafe just writing. Not just Hemingway was writing everyday. It was the norm for most writers to go to their local outdoor cafes and express themselves through the power of words. No wonder their writings were so good. All they needed was a little inspiration. As for styles of writing, it was all that was going on in politics. This is why writers decided to stay in Paris. Paris was an absolute madhouse during the 1920's. One of Hemingway's most popular books he wrote while in Paris was A MOVEABLE FEAST. This book is all about Hemingway's experiences and daily life while he was in Paris. Anyone who plans to go to Paris, and wants to know more about the city other than the Champs Elysees and the Eiffel Tower, would be better off to read Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. The remaining years spent in Paris were a very productive time in Hemingway’s early career, allowing him to experiment with and develop his unique literary style that would become his hallmark. In 1926 his famous novel The Sun Also Rises was published.The wave of American authors who made their voyage to Paris after Word War I was not the first to embrace it as a center for writing and artistic expression. During the years before the war, two American women had already made their mark on the city, surrounding themselves with famous and talented friends. Gertrude Stein and Natalie Clifford Barney hosted two literary areas which, though somewhat uncommon for the times, followed a Parisian tradition dating back three hundred years. Both lesbians and coming from wealthy backgrounds, living their own private lives, they had chosen Paris as much for its atmosphere of tolerance, which did not then exist at home. You see, Paris was sort of a safe area for every walk of life. No matter who or what you were, Paris did not discriminate. This was why writers stayed in Paris. Although beautiful and scenic, Paris provided much more for writers than just a place to write. It was a safe house for free expression.
