Boheme, La: Scenes de la Vie de Boheme Book

Set in the Latin Quarter of 1840s Paris, Henri Murger's 'La Boheme' creates a stark and colorful record of the boisterous, lean, and sensual world of eternal bohemia. The author, like his character Rudolph, was a dispossessed poet living from hand to mouth while serving his literary apprenticeship in the hustle-and-bustle streets of the artists' quarter. In order to make a little money, Murger created fictional episodes based on his experiences in the heart of Bohemia and sole the first of them in 1847..for 15 francs each...to a small literary magazine entitled 'Le Corsaire.' From this humble beginning, 'La Boheme' has become an undying tribute to true Bohemians or, as Murger describes them, 'those called by art.' the episodes first published in 'Le corsaire' were gathered into a book that sold 70,000 copies. then in 1849 Theodore Barriere made the story into a play, which became a popular sensation in Paris. And finally Giacomo Puccini transformed Murger's tale into the famous opera. 'La Boheme' is a one-of-a-kind journey to a raw yet romantic place, to a sphere where people hunger for both artistic ideals and morsels of food.Read More
