Shakespeare(莎士比亚)and Company, the name of an independent bookstore, may be the most famous bookstore in the world. It is in Paris. The bookstore is not very big, but lots of people are always waiting to get into it on weekends and during the busy summer months.

In 1951, a new English﹣language bookstore named "Le Mistral" was opened in Paris. It quickly became the center of culture in Paris. In 1964, on the 400 thanniversary(周年纪念)of Shakespeare's birth, the owner of the bookstore gave it a new name "Shakespeare and Company". He said the name of the bookstore was "a novel in three words". Many famous people have been there.

Shakespeare and Company is not only an exciting bookstore, but it also provides a place for English﹣speaking travelers to hold festivals of writing, reading, and art. What's more, besides getting reading materials, writers can help0out in the bookstore in exchange for staying there for free. It can offer living places and food to five or six writers at a time. The writers may stay as long as they want to. The owner is happy to provide writers with places to write. He often says, "I do this because when I was traveling around the world, many people gave me help. Now I want to help other people."
