Book Synopsis The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter by : Henri Murger
Download or read book The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter written by Henri Murger and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today, as of old, every man who enters on an artistic career, without any other means of livelihood than his art itself, will be forced to walk in the paths of Bohemia."—from the Preface Based largely upon Henri Murger's own experiences and those of his fellow artists, The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter was originally produced as a play in 1849 and first appeared in book form in 1851. It was an immediate sensation. The novel consists of a series of interrelated episodes in the lives of a group of poor friends—a musician, a poet, a philosopher, a sculptor, and a painter—who attempt to maintain their artistic ideals while struggling for food, shelter, and sex. Set in the ancient Latin Quarter, a vibrant and cosmopolitan area near the University of Paris, the novel is a masterful portrait of nineteenth-century Parisian artistic life. "Bohemian" soon became synonymous with "artist," and it is from Murger's novel that the word and concept entered the English language. Drawn from real-life characters and events, the themes of love, sacrifice, and "selling out" are immediately recognizable to the modern reader. Capturing the heart, spirit, and bittersweet humor of the world of struggling artists, The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter is the universal story of one's attempt to leave a mark on the world.

Book Synopsis In Our Latin Quarter by : Alexei Kochetkov
Download or read book In Our Latin Quarter written by Alexei Kochetkov and published by T&V Media. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After graduating from the Toulouse Agricultural Institute in 1934, Moscow native Alexei Nikolayevich Kochetkov undertook one year of compulsory military service in the Latvian Army. When he had fulfilled his obligation, he returned to France. Eager to continue his studies, Kochetkov enrolled in the National Agricultural Institute in Paris, focusing on plant pathology. It was his dream to return to Russia one day and use his education to benefit his motherland. While dedicated to his studies and his work in the laboratory of celebrated biochemist Gabriel Bertrand, Kochetkov immersed himself in the politics and interests of the Russian émigré community. An ardent political activist, he disseminated a youth-oriented left-wing newspaper, frequented political gatherings, and celebrated Popular Front victories. He even participated in violent confrontations with extreme right-wing groups—activities that resulted in a deportation threat from the Parisian police. Kochetkov paints a vividly engaging picture of student life in Paris during the 1930s. It was a heady time to be in Paris, and through his depiction of quotidian scenes amid the Russian émigré milieu, his studies, and his friendships the epoch comes alive. Kochetkov recounts the political meetings and discussions he attended, as well as his admiration for a female classmate and his sometimes humorous clashes with his laboratory mate.
