Kerri Maher

Cuando Sylvia Beach, una joven americana amante de los libros, abre Shakespeare and Company en una tranquila calle en el París de 1919, no tiene ni idea de que cambiará el curso de la literatura. Shakespeare and Company es mucho mas que una libreria. Hemingway y muchos de los escritores de la Generacion Perdida la consideran su segunda casa. Alli tambien se forjan algunas de las amistades literarias mas importantes del siglo XX, como la de James Joyce con la misma Sylvia. Cuando la controvertida novela de Joyce, Ulysses, es prohibida, Beach decide publicarla bajo la proteccion de Shakespeare and Company. Pero el exito y la fama que conllevan publicar la novela mas controvertida e influyente del siglo tiene unos costes muy altos: la rivalidad de otros editores que quieren a Joyce para ellos. Sus relaciones mas queridas son puestas a prueba mientras Paris cae en la Gran Depresion. Ante una gran crisis personal y financiera, Sylvia debe decidir que significa para ella Shakespeare and Company.Con La librera de Paris Kerri Maher ha logrado construir un fresco inigualable de una libreria, una ciudad y una epoca esenciales para entender de donde venimos y hacia donde vamos.
