This classic work of literary fiction presents Henry Murger’s vivid narrative of bohemian life in Paris’s Latin Quarter during the mid‑19th century, rendered in English translation by Norman Cameron. Through a series of interlinked sketches, it chronicles the loves, ambitions, and misadventures of struggling artists, poets, and dreamers, capturing the wit, romance, and hardship that defined their world. Murger’s portraits of these characters illustrate the tension between artistic idealism and the realities of poverty, while celebrating the camaraderie and creative spirit that flourished in the cafés and garrets of the city. The 1960 Folio Society edition pairs the text with Dodie Masterman’s expressive illustrations, enhancing its charm and period atmosphere.
