More about the book

Set in nineteenth-century France, the book explores Bohemia's exotic and perilous culture, perceived by Parisians as a realm of passion and immorality. It examines how bohemianism challenged bourgeois norms and elitist aesthetics, significantly influencing the evolution of European and American societies. By embracing "foreignness," bohemianism offered a means of liberation and nonconformity, reshaping modern urban life within a capitalist framework.
