2027 is the 175th anniversary of Henri Murger’s iconic novel Scènes de la vie de bohème, a vivid portrait of young artists and intellectuals scraping by in the Latin Quarter of 1840s Paris. Murger’s stories shaped the modern myth of artistic rebellion and inspired a lineage of adaptations that carried his bohemians far beyond Paris and crystallized a cultural archetype—one that continues to define how we imagine the creative life.
