Ten Years a Bohemian (Dix ans de bohème in French), first published in 1888, is the autobiographical account of a young man, Émile Goudeau, who moves to Paris from the French countryside in the mid- to late-1870s, with high ambitions of becoming a poet. Would that it were so easy! Whimsical and endearing, it tells the story of the Bohemian life of not just one young man, but countless other struggling artists in the Belle Epoque period of Paris, many of which artists are now famous (and more not) - a whoʼs who of sculptors, painters, musicians, performers, poets, writers, and comedians, you name it - living, struggling, drinking, laughing, - somehow managing to survive, with stiff upper lips and on shoe-string budgets - in the Latin Quarter and Montmartre.
