About the Book

Scenes from the Life of Bohemia by Henri Murger

The inspiration for Puccini's great opera La bohème, Henri Murger's episodic story of the bohemians of mid-19th century Paris is a lively, eccentric and amusing narrative—it is presented here with the original 33 drawings. Less a novel and more a series of entertaining encounters, Murger's work constructs a picture of artistic community and madcap association: aspiring painters, musicians, and writers, all with strange stories to tell.
