Boheemielämää by Henri Murger
"Boheemielämää" by Henri Murger is a collection of loosely related stories published in 1851. Set in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1840s, it romanticizes the bohemian lifestyle through semi-autobiographical tales originally printed in a literary magazine. The stories feature characters based on real individuals and follow their unconventional lives. After being adapted into a hugely successful play, Murger compiled the stories into book form, adding new material to create continuity.
The work later inspired Puccini's famous opera "La bohème" and numerous other adaptations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
