A Mountain of Crumbs is the moving story of a young Soviet girl`s discovery of the hidden truths of adulthood and her country`s profound political deception. Elena, born with a desire to explore the world beyond her borders, finds her passion in the complexity of the English language - but in the Soviet Union of the 1960s, such a passion verges on the subversive. Elena`s home is no longer the majestic Russia of literature or the tsars. Instead, it is a nation humiliated by its first faltering steps after World War II, putting up appearances for the sake of its regime and fighting to retain its pride. In this deeply affecting memoir, Elena re-creates the world that both oppressed and inspired her. She recounts stories passed down to her...

"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." Hemingway`s memories of his life as an unknown writer living in Paris in the 1920`s are deeply personal, warmly affectionate and full of wit.

A Moveable Feast was written during the last years of Hemingway`s life, and is a lively and powerful reflection of his genius that...
