    Shakespeare and Company is an English-language bookshop in Paris. It was opened in 1951 and has been a meeting place for Anglophone writers and readers   41      . Founded by American George Whitman, the bookstore was originally called Le Mistral. In 1964, Whitman renamed his store   42   a bookseller he admired, Sylvia Beach, who’d founded the original Shakespeare and Company in 1919. Through his bookstore, Whitman endeavored to carry on the spirit of Beach’s shop.
    From the first day the store opened, writers, artists, and intellectuals were invited to sleep in the bookstore in various cots that are dotted around the place. These people,   43   as "tumbleweeds," have to promise to read a book a day, help at the shop for a few hours a day, and produce a one-page autobiography. American actor Ethan Hawke is among a(n)   44   30,000 people who have tumbleweeded at the store--he stayed there for six nights when he arrived in Paris at age 16.
    Whitman passed away in 2011, two days before his 98th birthday. Now his daughter, Sylvia Whitman, is following in her father’s footsteps and is dedicated to keeping the spirit of the bookstore   45    . Under her direction, it should remain a center for Parisian literary life for many years to come.
