HENRY (1822–1861) , See also:French See also:man of letters, was See also:born in See also:Paris on the 24th of See also:March 1822. His See also:father was a See also:German See also:concierge and a tailor. At the See also:age of fifteen Murger was sent into a lawyer's See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, but the occupation was uncongenial and his father's See also:trade still more so; and he became secretary to See also:Count Alexei Tolstoi. He published in 1843 a poem entitled Via dolorosa, but it made no See also:mark. He also tried journalism, and the See also:paper Le See also:Castor, which figures in his See also:Vie de Boheeeme as having combined devotion to the interests of the See also:hat trade with recondite See also:philosophy and elegant literature, is said to have existed, though shortlived. In 1848 appeared the collected sketches called Scenes de la vie de Boheme. This See also:book describes the fortunes and misfortunes, the loves, studies, amusements and sufferings of a See also:group of impecunious students, artists and
men of letters, of whom Rodolphe represents Murger himself, while the others have been more or less positively identified. Murger, in fact, belonged to a clique of so-called Bohemians, the most remarkable of whom, besides himself, were Privat d'Anglemont and Champfleury. La Vie de Bohee"me, arranged for the See also:stage in collaboration with See also:Theodore Barriere, was produced at the Varietes on the 22nd of See also:November 1849, and was a triumphant success; it afterwards formed the basis of See also:Puccini's See also:opera, La Boheme (1898). From this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time it was easy for Murger to live by journalism and See also:general literature. He was introduced in 1851 to the Revue See also:des deux mondes. But he was a slow, fastidious and capricious worker, and his years of hardship and dissipation had impaired his See also:health. He published among other See also:works See also:Claude et Marianne in 1851; a See also:comedy, Le Bonhomme Jadis in 1852; Le Pays Latin in 1852; Adeline Protat (one of the most graceful and See also:innocent if not the most See also:original of his tales) in 18J3; and See also:Les Buveurs d'eau in 1855. This last, the most powerful of his books next to the Vie de Boheeeme, traces the See also:fate of certain artists and students who, exaggerating their own See also:powers and disdaining merely profitable See also:work, come to an evil end not less rapidly than by dissipation. Some years before his See also:death, which took See also:place in a maison de sante near Paris on the 28th of See also:January 1861, Murger went to live at Marlotte, near See also:Fontainebleau, and there he wrote an unequal book entitled Le Sabot See also:rouge (186o), in which the See also:character of the French See also:peasant is uncomplimentarily treated.
