Travel back in time to the 1920s and explore Hemingway’s Paris, home to some of the most influential artists and writers of the twentieth century. Hemingway famously described the city as a “movable feast,” so dig into the rich history and the remarkable legends with this beautifully illustrated 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle by Max Dalton.
Piece together Picasso painting Gertrude Stein in her salon; the surrealists deep in discussion at Les Deux Magots café; Josephine Baker dancing up a storm in the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées while Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray play chess on the roof; and James Joyce and Sylvia Beach at work in the Shakespeare & Co. bookshop. Meanwhile, try to find Hemingway’s missing suitcase of his manuscripts. The puzzle includes an accompanying poster with text by Matthew Holman, who delves into the thriving artistic and literary scene that Hemingway and his contemporaries created.
