bookish young American Sylvia Beach opens Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris in
1919  she has no idea that she and her new bookstore will change the course of literature
itself.     Shakespeare and Company is more than a bookstore and lending library: Many of the
prominent writers of the Lost Generation  like Ernest Hemingway  consider it a second home.
It's where some of the most important literary friendships of the twentieth century are
forged—none more so than the one between Irish writer James Joyce and Sylvia herself. When
Joyce's controversial novel Ulysses is banned  Beach takes a massive risk and publishes it
under the auspices of Shakespeare and Company.     But the success and notoriety of publishing
the most infamous and influential book of the century comes with steep costs. The future of her
beloved store itself is threatened when Ulysses ' success brings other publishers to woo Joyce
away. Her most cherished relationships are put to the test as Paris is plunged deeper into the
Depression and many expatriate friends return to America. As she faces painful personal and
financial crises  Sylvia—a woman who has made it her mission to honor the life-changing impact
of books—must decide what Shakespeare and Company truly means to her.
