Shakespeare and Company

Shakespeare and Company, an independent English-language bookshop on the Seine in Paris, has been a haven for writers and readers since 1951. Founded by George Whitman and named as a spiritual successor to Sylvia Beach's original shop, it offers new titles, rare books (like Alexander Trocchi's *Cain's Book*), Shakespeare and Company Editions, and a curated *Year of Reading* subscription. The shop also features gifts, tote bags, and literary events (available as podcasts), hosting authors like Tash Aw and offering talks like *How Shakespeare Can Change Your Life*. It provides worldwide shipping and click & collect options.
