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. Though struggling with poverty, the bohemians are blessed with occasional good fortune; eccentric but monied clients, or jobs landed by sheer luck and opportunistic panache. More than this however is the abiding theme of bonhomie between the young associates; all share the same dream ? recognition and money for their creative endeavours ? and are bound together by their place of meeting and low social standing. The caf? where the group gather to socialize serves as the genesis for several plotlines; here the protagonists commiserate and collaborate in equal measure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henri Murger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780359742509\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40092232188019,"sku":"9.78036E+12","price":21.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_9ed2292a-97a6-4e45-b4f8-e40635453815.jpg?v=1652797654","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/scenes-from-the-life-of-bohemia-scnes-de-la-vie-de-bohme-9780359742509","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
