Text in French. Louis-Henri Murger (1822- 1861) was a French novelist and poet. He is chiefly distinguished as the author of Scènes de la vie de bohème, from his own experiences as a desperately poor writer living in a Parisian attic, and member of a loose club of friends who called themselves \\\"the water drinkers\\\" (because they were too poor to afford wine). In his writing he combines instinct with pathos and humour, sadness his predominant tone.
