The Very Rich Hours of Adrienne Monnier

In 1920s Paris, Adrienne Monnier's bookstore La Maison des Amis des Libres, was legendary for its author readings and nurturing the careers of writers like Hemingway, T.S. Eliot and James Joyce.

Not just a bookseller but an essayist, translator, partner of Sylvia Beach, and a central individual in literary life in Paris from 1915 until the early 1950s, Monnier's credits include publishing the French translation of 'Ulysses' after it had been banned in England and America.

The translation, introduction, and notes are by Richard McDougall.
