Scenes of Bohemian Life

by Henri Murger · first published 1851

Scenes of Bohemian Life (original French title: Scènes de la vie de bohème [sɛn də la vi də bɔɛm]) is a work by Henri Murger, published in 1851. Although it is commonly called a novel, it does not follow standard novel form. Rather, it is a collection of loosely related stories, all set in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1840s, romanticizing bohemian life in a playful way. Most of the stories were originally published individually in a local literary magazine, Le Corsaire.
