The work explores the lives and struggles of various artists, poets, and figures associated with the bohemian lifestyle, including the renowned poet Paul Verlaine and other notable literary personalities of the time. It delves into themes of genius, alcoholism, despair, and the tragicomic nature of their lives and creations. At the start of the narrative, we encounter Paul Verlaine, depicted as a tragic figure consumed by an insatiable thirst, leading to his downfall and eventual death. The text paints a vivid picture of the poet's life, detailing his drinking habits, his interactions with admirers and friends, and the melancholic environment of Paris where he struggled to produce his remarkable poetry. Carrere captures the duality of Verlaine's existence as both a celebrated literary figure and a pitiable drunkard, reflecting on how his genius was intertwined with his tragic lifestyle, setting the tone for the tragicomic exploration of other artists who suffered similar fates.
