Shakespeare and Company, in Paris

    Shakespeare and Company is the name of the independent bookstores on Paris's Left Bank. I knew this bookshop through the magazine called MING when I was in the university in China. I am the reading lovers, so I care about the bookshop.
    Shakespeare and Company is a wonderful and famous bookshop. Writers and artists of the "Lost Generation," such as Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, George Antheil and Man Ray, spent a great deal of time there. And the shop was featured in the Richard Linklater film Before Sunset and in the Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris.
    Most importantly, this  bookshop has an open altitude towards people. They even take in wanders. On the first floor of this bookshop, there is a bed. If readers read lately, they can use this bed in night.
 




    In here,  you can immerse yourself in books. They sale many English books. It is a place for people to study French and English. Besides, they holds reading salons. The staff said, they will have a cafe and underground cinema.
