     If you enjoy reading, don’t miss Shakespeare and Company when you visit thecity of Paris. It is a famous English-language bookstore on the left bank of the riverSeine. The first Shakespeare and Company in history was opened in 1919 by anAmerican, Sylvia Beach. Ms. Beach did more than sell books. Her bookstore wasalso a library, and she even prepared beds for writers visiting there. Ms. Beach wasnot only kind to people but also good at choosing books, so her bookstore was oftenvisited by writers like Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce. But in 1941, after theGermans took power in Paris, Ms. Beach was told to close her bookstore.
     In 1951, another American, George Whitman, opened in Paris another Englishlanguage bookstore, Librairie Mistral. Since then, just as Ms. Beach did, Mr.Whitman has also made his bookstore a library for people to borrow books, and afree hotel for writers to stay in. To remember Ms. Beach, Mr. Whitman changed thename of his bookstore to Shakespeare and Company in 1964, two years after Ms.Beach died.
