unusual facts about Henri Murger



Champfleury

The character of Marcel in Henri Murger's Scènes de la vie de bohème, and thus the corresponding character Marcello in Puccini's opera based on it, was partially based on Champfleury.

Ellen Marriage

The only other literary works that Marriage translated were Henri Murger's Scènes de la vie de bohème (1901) and Marcel Prévost's Frédérique (1900) and Lea (1902).

La Vida Bohème

It has no particular origin, though it is said they chose it from Giacomo Puccini's opera, La bohème, or more likely from the book on which the latter was based, Henri Murger's La Vie de Bohème.
