E-text prepared by Chuck Greif from digital text provided by
"Bohemians of the Latin Quarter" by Henri Murger is a fictional narrative written in the mid-19th century. The work explores the lives of young artists and creatives living in Paris, particularly their struggles, friendships, and artistic pursuits. It provides a vivid portrayal of the bohemian lifestyle, encapsulating the spirit of youth, love, and the challenges faced by those who dedicate themselves to art. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the adventures of Alexander Schaunard, a multi-talented artist who is about to face new challenges with his living situation. The story begins with Schaunard waking up to a pressing problem: he must move out of his current lodgings but lacks the necessary funds to settle his debts and find a new place. As he navigates his dire circumstances, the introduction of other characters such as Marcel, Colline, and Rodolphe hints at the formation of a close-knit social circle of bohemians. This environment of camaraderie and recurring themes of poverty, artistic ambition, and the quest for love and identity are established, inviting readers into the whimsical yet tumultuous world of Parisian artists.

Reading ease score: 79.6 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
