Sinopsis
Excerpt from Scenes From the Life of Bohemia: Scènes De La Vie De Bohême
Henri Murger was born in 1822 and was the son of a man who exercised the joint calling of tailor and doorkeeper in the Rue Saint Georges, Paris. After receiving a scanty and fragmentary education he entered a lawyer's office, but like many another "youthfore-doomed his father's soul to cross," thought more of scribbling stanzas than of engrossing deeds. His verses, however, gained him the patronage of M. de Jouy, the Academician. Thanks to this gentleman, he obtained the position of secretary to Count Tolstoi, a Russian nobleman, who paid him infinitely less than his coachman or cook, but who, on the other hand, does not seem to have exacted much in return for the fifty francs a month disbursed. Murger's literary career began about 1841. His first essays were mainly poetical, but under the pressure of stern necessity he wrote whatever he could find a market for, turning out prose, to use his own expression, at the rate of eighty francs an acre, and scattering his talent in the columns of petty literary journals so shaky that they never dared announce anything as "to be continued in our next," and even in trade periodicals. Like his own Rodolphe, he edited a fashion paper, the Moniteur de la Mode, and the Castor, an organ of the hat trade. His struggles and privations had been terrible, but his position gradually improved, especially under the influence of Charapfleury, with whom he resided for some time and who urged him to devote himself to prose fiction.
About the year 1844 Murger joined the staff of the Corsaire in which, in 1848, he published The Bohemians. The work caused a sensation in literary circles, but the limited circulation of the periodical prevented this from extending to the general public.

Excerpt from The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter: Scènes De La Vie De Bohême
The piece was produced at the Variétés towards the end of 1849, and met with phenomenal success. From that moment Murger's career was assured. He at once took a position amongst contemporary writers and left the Latin Quarter, though still continuing to draw models for the characters of several of his subsequent works from the associates of his youth. He continued to work steadily for several years, the best part of the last of these being mainly spent at Marlotte in the Forest of Fontainebleau, where he had a little cottage. Seized with a sudden illness during a visit to Paris in January, 1861, he was removed to Dubois Hospital, where he expired a few days later.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the vibrant and often misunderstood world of the Bohemians, not as romanticized outlaws, but as a timeless lineage of artists and writers who have chosen a life dedicated to their craft, often at the expense of material comfort. Tracing their origins back to ancient Greece and through figures like Francois Villon and Pierre Gringoire, the author paints a vivid picture of these individuals who have always existed on the fringes of society, driven by their passion and creativity. Through anecdotes and intimate portraits, the book explores the struggles and triumphs of this unique community, offering a glimpse into their unconventional lifestyles, their unwavering dedication to their art, and the camaraderie that binds them together. The author's insightful observations reveal the depth and complexity of the Bohemian spirit, challenging preconceived notions and ultimately celebrating the enduring legacy of those who dare to live and create on their own terms.
