Scenes de la Vie Boheme

According to Wikipedia: "La Vie de Bohème (full title in French, Scènes de la vie de bohème) is a work by Henry Murger, published in 1851. Although it is commonly called a novel, it doesn't follow a 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. Many of them were semi-autobiographical, featuring characters based on actual individuals who would have been familiar to some of the magazine's readers... Louis-Henri Murger, also known as Henri Murger and Henry Murger (27 March 1822, Paris - 28 January 1861, Paris) was a French novelist and poet.”
